Beyond Puppy School: Expert Dog Training for Your Pup’s First 8 Months of Life

Why a Bondi Pup Needs Our Full Program

Life with a new dog in Bondi is a constant test. You’re navigating daily chaos: tourists clogging Campbell Parade, skaters near the Pavilion, and the endless sensory rush of Hall Street cafes. For a dog to be a calm part of this iconic scene, they need structure that goes well beyond four weeks of basic Puppy School. Our Puppy Program is your blueprint, guiding you from the pre-puppy stage right through the difficult -month teenage rush. Our mission at The Toe Beans Co is simple: to improve the lives of every dog and their family by giving pet parents the confidence and tools to raise a happy, well-adjusted companion in the dense Eastern Suburbs.

Why Choose The Toe Beans Co Over a Basic Puppy Class?

A limited Puppy School class will not solve the unique problems faced by dogs in high-density areas like Bondi. Here is the commitment our long-term program provides:

  • 100% Satisfaction Guarantee: We stand by our results. We give you all the tools and support you need, and if you follow our guidance for a month and see absolutely no improvement, we offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
  • Covers All Stages: Pre-Puppy to 8 Months and Beyond: Our streamlined system supports your journey from the preparation stage right through the Puppy Program ( weeks to months) and into adolescence, preventing behavioural issues from setting in.
  • Accredited, Positive-Only Methods: We only use positive, science-backed training. Our trainers are an Accredited member of the Dog Trainer Academy, ensuring ethical training that builds a strong, trusting bond.
  • Urban Focus on Impulse Control: We specifically target challenges like leash reactivity on Campbell Parade and ignoring food scraps near the beach. Every trainer holds a Red Cross Australia Pet First Aid Trainer certification and is AFP Background Checked, and we are Certified Professional Pet Sitter.

Our Comprehensive Puppy Program: Your Road Map to a Great Dog

We provide specialised training for all three critical phases of your dog's early life.

Pre-Puppy Program (Pre-Puppy to 8 Weeks)

This program is designed for new or prospective owners. Before you select a breeder or even decide to commit, we help you understand whether getting a dog is the right decision for your high-energy, beach-centric lifestyle. We then help you set up your small Bondi apartment for success, focusing on toilet training and creating a quiet, anxiety-free routine before day one.

Puppy Program (8 Weeks – 8 Months) & Puppy School

If you search for "Puppy School in Bondi," you are looking for the crucial socialisation component of our larger Puppy Program. This comprehensive program tackles the critical weeks to months phase.

  • Puppy School Component: This is the mandatory 4-week block focusing on safe socialisation and core skills. We strongly prefer in-person training, which is held at a suitable location in the Eastern Suburbs, but a flexible online workshop is available if needed. Location details are confirmed upon booking.
  • Overall Program Value: We include coaching to manage challenges unique to the area, such as building confidence around the intense noises near Bondi Junction and achieving reliable focus despite being near the Bondi Beach crowds.

Post Puppy Program (8 Months +)

This is the essential next step for your maturing dog. Our Post Puppy Program is designed for dogs months and older who need advanced skills for navigating young adulthood. We focus on:

  • Advanced Leash Skills: Stopping lunging and pulling when walking past other dogs on the narrow paths near Marks Park (especially during off-leash hours).
  • Calmness in Crowds: Training for rock-solid patience and impulse control, essential for handling events or crowded weekend markets.
  • Environmental Safety: Teaching reliable leave-it commands to prevent dangerous scavenging near places like Ocean Street (due to reported baiting concerns).

Frequently Asked Questions About Puppy School Bondi

Here are the answers you need:

Q: When is the best time for my puppy to start Puppy School? A: Puppies should start the practical Puppy School component of our Puppy Program between 12 and 16 weeks old. This is their most important period for socialisation and learning. Get in early to take full advantage of this window for their development.

Q: Do you use positive reinforcement training only? A: Yes, absolutely. We use an ethical, modern, and force-free method. We believe in building a strong, happy relationship with your puppy based on rewards and clear communication, never fear or punishment.

Q: Where in Bondi is the training held? A: Puppy School is conducted in the Eastern Suburbs. We will confirm the exact location details upon booking, giving you maximum flexibility while ensuring a safe and controlled environment for socialisation.

Q: How long does The Toe Beans Co Puppy Program run for? A: Our core Puppy Program is designed to support you from 8 weeks through to 8 months of age, covering the early foundational Puppy School and the crucial Post Puppy phase.

Q: Can you help with issues like apartment barking and separation anxiety? A: Yes. Apartment living in Bondi often leads to noise complaints. We address the root cause of separation anxiety and nuisance barking, teaching your dog to relax when left alone in a high-stimulus environment.

Q: What is the biggest difference between your Puppy Program and others? A: The difference is the duration and value. Most "puppy schools" are four weeks long and offer no follow-up. Our program is structured to support you for the first eight months of your dog's development, including advanced skills training.
