It’s like Soho House – for dogs.
The first-of-its-kind, all-in-one canine club is bringing bone-a-Fido luxury to the Big Apple’s four-legged elite starting next week.

Happy Tales – like the famously upscale Soho House, where memberships run up to $5,163 a year – offers exclusivity and elevated luxury compared to the rest of the market, according to its founders.
Not everyone has the right to enter a luxurious life.
Potential clients go through a multi-step application and evaluation process, and are only given the green light if the club’s dog behavior therapists deem the puppy paw-effective.
“We don’t anticipate any problems, but certainly people will come in and say their dog is great and wonderful, even if that’s not the case. So we’re very careful,” explained co-founder Teddy Tawil.
The 2,500-square-foot clubhouse features a jungle-themed area in which active Fido can jump through hoops hanging from the ceiling; a “Tea Room”, where quiet dogs can relax on fake grass and sofas; One area that contains a playground for the puppies, and another room filled with balls and other toys.
“Living in New York City, a lot of dogs are often stuck in cramped apartments, and the alternative spaces where people can bring their dogs during the day are simply not on par with what we offer here,” he said. Said. Tavil.
“We wanted to give the dogs the life they deserve,” Fallas said.

Members can also peruse the fabulous retail section, which for sale this week includes puppy plush toys in the shape of a Casa Azul tequila bottle, an Aperol Spritz cocktail, and a “Barkin” bag.
“(Happy Tales) is a lifestyle. You come in, hang out, go on your computer and meet like-minded dog owners who work in good industries and, before you know it, you’re friends,” Fallas said. “It’s really like Soho House.”
“Our whole idea is to bring dogs and their humans together and create beautiful experiences for people,” Tavin said.
