We cannot recommend Ray highly enough.

We have a four-year-old miniature long-haired dachshund named Franklin who struggled with reactivity, leash pulling, leash aggression, boundaries, and overall anxiety for most of his life.

While RVing, stopped in Ventura to take boat to the Channel Islands on a Sunday. We needed to drop off our dog at a doggy daycare for 4 hours. Called 4 places with high ratings and no one answered. The boat rental company gave me Tail of Success number. I called Roy last minute and he couldn't have been more polite and accommodating. I brought our dog over 30 minutes later and his place was new, spotless and filled with happy dogs. He communicated with us via text for updates, sent a video and even took him for a walk. He was a true lifesaver! 5 Star rating!
