A different kind of dog day

Room to roam.
Space to grow.

A walk can be more than exercise.

At Fort Funston, our dogs explore, read each other’s signals, and learn to move through the world together. We pay attention to those small moments. They’re where confidence and connection take shape.

That understanding carries into our coaching and the care we offer established pack dogs at home.

Get to know our approach
The City Tail Method

Connection
before correction.

Behavior is communication. Before deciding what to change, we take time to understand the dog in front of us.

On the trail, that means noticing how dogs explore, make choices, and relate to one another.

Our philosophy in practice
Tanya & Phil · City Tail Adventures

Built around dogs.
Rooted in San Francisco.

Our off-leash pack began at Fort Funston. The city, the coast, and the families who share them with us are still at the heart of our work.
