At Tailaire, we’re Different
We’re dedicated to helping pet owners through a mix of education, practice, and strong support. We believe in more than just being there—we believe in being there with a purpose. Our goal is to educate, inspire, and support each other on this amazing journey of pet ownership.
Our Methodologies
We take pride in using force-free methods that follow the latest scientific recommendations in dog behavior, without using fear, intimidation, or harm. We also use the Hierarchy of Needs, a key framework that helps guide our approach to each pet's well-being. By following this kind and scientifically supported method, we make sure every interaction is a positive and rewarding experience for your pets.
Environmental Changes
We know that the key to helping your pets thrive is understanding and adjusting their environment. The first step is to make sure the space fits your pets' needs, likes, and behaviors. By making thoughtful changes, we create a positive space where your pets can learn, grow, and succeed. Whether it's adjusting things inside your home or setting up a safe outdoor area, our goal is to build an environment that helps them feel happy and succeed.
Reinforcers
We use rewards like treats to give pets a tasty incentive, sniffing and enrichment activities that encourage natural behaviors, and praise through kind words or gentle petting. We also use the idea of giving space as a reward, allowing dogs to have moments of freedom and rest. By recognizing and encouraging behaviors that match our training goals, the force-free trainer helps create positive experiences, where the dog willingly takes part, building a relationship based on trust, teamwork, and understanding.
Physiological Needs
We prioritize fulfilling their basic needs for food, water, shelter, and comfort, ensuring that each pet in our care receives the essential provisions necessary for a healthy and fulfilling life.
Safety and Security
We are committed to providing a safe and secure environment for all animals under our guardianship. From implementing stringent safety protocols to maintaining secure activities, we strive to create a space where pets can feel protected and at ease.
Social Needs
We place a strong emphasis on fulfilling their need for companionship, interaction, and socialization. Whether through supervised playtime, group activities, or one-on-one attention, we foster meaningful connections that enrich pets' lives and promote their emotional well-being.
Esteem
We believe that every pet should be treated with dignity, respect, and care that’s specific to their needs. We celebrate each pet's unique personality, likes, and quirks, creating an environment of acceptance and support that helps pets grow and thrive.
Self-Actualization
We aim to help every pet reach their full potential and feel fulfilled in their lives. Through enrichment activities, training, and personalized care, we work to empower pets to explore, learn, and grow, helping them live happy, fulfilling lives as important members of their families and communities.
At Tailaire, our philosophy of animal care is guided by the understanding that every pet is a unique individual deserving of love, respect, and the opportunity to live their best life.
