The first months of a puppy’s life set the tone for everything that comes after, shaping their behaviour, confidence, and happiness as adults. At Wagtails, we understand how special this stage is, which is why our puppy day care is thoughtfully designed to support their unique needs. We provide more than play, giving each pup gentle structure, guidance, and reassurance to help them grow into balanced and happy dogs.
