January 2026 Newsletter
It’s been a wonderful year, and we are so deeply grateful for the dogs and families—both returning and new—who have supported us every step of the way. This past year brought growth, transition, and change, and through it all, your trust, patience, and kindness meant more to us than we can say.
While our services continue to grow, one thing hasn’t changed—our commitment to thoughtful, humane, relationship-based care for every dog who walks through our doors.
Change isn’t always easy, and we are endlessly thankful for the grace you’ve shown us along the way. We’re so excited to continue supporting our long-time families while also welcoming new faces into our community. Watching your dogs grow, learn, and thrive alongside you is truly the heart of what we do.
Thank you for trusting us with your four-legged family members. We can’t wait for all that’s ahead.
With love,
A Dog’s Tale Team 🐾

January Client Highlight: Team Brewer
Brewer’s family reached out in early September 2025 as they prepared to bring home their puppy later that month. They wanted to start off on the right paw, so we began with an initial private session to build a strong foundation. From there, Brewer joined our Puppy Manners class and attended socials to continue developing confidence and appropriate social skills.
After completing class, the family chose to pursue additional private training with Sydney to fine-tune key skills, including polite greetings, leash manners, place training, and more. Alysha has also worked closely with Brewer during classes and socials, and even stepped in as our “new person” while the family practiced our in-home polite greetings protocol that we’re piloting for super-exuberant greeters.
This dedicated team is now signed up for our January Leash Manners class to further strengthen Brewer’s skills around distractions. Their ultimate goal? A true go-anywhere, do-anything dog—and Brewer is well on his way!
