Introducing Tailhead, the free online learning platform for dogs

Dogs gather round a laptop learning
From now until May 31st, your dog can get started with Tailhead.

Helping canine companions learn new skills anytime, anywhere.

What is Tailhead?

They say you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, but the makers of Trailhead, the free online learning platform from Salesforce, disagree. Introducing Tailhead, the free online learning platform for dogs. Tailhead teaches your dog the tricks and skills they need to be successful in the competitive canine world. With engaging, treat-sized content, Tailhead is about to transform the way your dog learns furever. 

Starting April 1st, Tailhead launches with its first badge, Getting Started with Tailhead.

Every dog has its day

Every dog has its day, and with this new project, your dog has 61 days to earn the Get Started with Tailhead badge, from April 1st through May 31st. Don’t worry, even though Tailhead is made for our four-legged friends, this project is safe for humans too, and it includes a paws-on challenge that dogs and humans alike are sure to love.

And while normally each step in a Trailhead project is worth 100 points, in this Tailhead project aka paw-ject each step is worth 500 points! Just like “dog years” are calculated differently from human years, this badge’s points were calculated in “dog points.” That’s right, you can earn 1000 points for completing this 2-step project to really give you something to wag about! 

So furry over — excuse us, hurry over — to earn this limited-edition Tailhead badge! Getting Started with Tailhead will no longer be available after May 31, 2023.

Dog tested, Milo approved

Tailhead has gone through extensive testing to ensure it will leave our furry friends begging for more! One of our initial testers, Milo, a chocolate lab from Australia, has always known he was destined to be the top dog. Although he enjoys laying on his front porch and barking at passers-by, he knew he was capable of so much more.

Once Milo began to dig into Tailhead, he knew he wasn’t barking up the wrong tree. He was dog-gone thrilled to see how much there was to learn and how he could advance through the Tailblazer Ranks from Good Dog to All the Treats Good Dog as he gained new tricks.

Woof, woof! I love learning on #Tailhead the free online learning platform for dogs!

With Tailhead, Milo has been able to learn how to shake, lay down and roll over. After earning the rank of Triple Treat Good Dog, Milo even started his own “Tailhead Tuesdays” event where he introduces Tailhead to his canine friends at the local dog park each week. It’s tail-wagging good fun.

Get barking

We know how proud you’re going to be of your dogs when they jump over every learning hurdle in their path. It’s time to howl from the rooftops and share your dog’s accomplishments! Post a photo of your furbaby learning with Tailhead on social, including #Tailhead, so the entire Tailblazer community can come together. We can’t wait to sniff the scent of success!
