Tailwinds has been my go-to daycare and boarding place for some time now, and it really is a top-notch operation. It starts with the design of the facility: nice, gated entry to allow owners to enter one-at-a-time with their dogs as needed, and a beautiful area for dogs to roam with artificial grass and separate large, cylindrical buildings for indoor activities (dogs are kept separated by size/activity level). As advertised, there are snacks and "educational TV" for the dogs inside. Staff is more than happy to give you updates on your little one(s).
In the end, my dog's reaction is my most reliable barometer. While he will sometimes cry or pull away when we go to another daycare business, he's actually excited to run through the gates when he realizes we are at Tailwinds. I highly recommend it.
