Common questions we get about our services

Common Questions

Do you train recall for the beach?

Recall training is part of our core programme. We use long-line training to build reliability before trusting off-leash freedom.

Can you help with apartment barking issues?

Yes. Excessive barking in apartments usually stems from separation anxiety or attention-seeking behaviour. We address the root cause, not just the symptom.

The Toe Beans Co offers the following services: puppy school & programs, adolescent dog training, adult dog training, adult dog behaviourism, pet sitting, dog walking and doggy daycare services.

Absolutely not. We have owners from all different backgrounds. Some our first time puppy parents and others are seasoned veterans of dog ownership. We welcome all.

What is the ethos behind your dog training?

Developing a well behaved dog has 2 parts: dog psychology & dog training. We focus first on understanding your dog and getting them to choose to follow and listen to us. When dogs aren't making all the decisions, they calm down and relax, making them far more receptive to training. To do this, we don’t need to use force, fear or aggression. In fact the opposite. Whether dealing with barking, leash pulling, jumping, or aggression, these behaviours typically stem from dogs being too excited, reactive, and emotional. The key is getting them to turn to you and listen when it matters. Once they're calm and looking to you for guidance, you can effectively show them how to behave.
In short: before you train the dog, you need to win their mind.

Does your training use pain, fear, force or aggression?

ABSOLUTELY NOT. If you want a method like that I suggest you call the 1980's, go back there and never get a dog. We teach the dog calming code, a method based on positive action that reinforces your role as the leader in your dog's eyes.

What is included in the video support extension?
