Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

Common questions we get about our services

Common Questions

Should I get a dog?

For most people the answer is no. Dog ownership is expensive and time consuming (especially the first 6 months) and people are not aware of how challenging this can be. Owning a dog is a wonderful experience but you need to make sure you are ready

What is the right breed for me?

That really depends on your lifestyle and financial situation. There is no one size fits all. You can use our lifestyle calculator to learn more.

How will my dog respond to the training?

Like people, all dogs are different. What really matters is not your dog, but you. Some dog's can be more stubborn but ultimately if you engage in calm and consistent action your dog will get better.

What is the best dog training method for me?

Aaaah, now that's a great question. There are 4 major schools of dog training and you will suit one better than all the rest. We have a quick course and selection tool on these schools.

Pragmatic Positive Trainers
Relational Leadership (Us)
Scientific Conditioners
Empathetic Trainers

All these methods have successful (and sometimes famous) trainers that have helped hundreds of thousands of people.

Although you may want to work with us. If you join our community and then decide you like a different method and that works for you, we are happy!

Is the community really free?

Yes, absolutely. You can access all of them through our free community where we also host weekly dog training zoom calls. You can stay as long as you like.

What is included within the community?

We have an online community which you can join for free. On this we offer free support for common issues and host weekly webinars/ Q&As about different dog training and pet topics. You will join other pet owners who are trying to do the best for their pet. Different modules include:

Breed specific behavioural guides
General behavioural guides
History of Dog Training and breakdown of modern dog training methods
Our complete puppy program
Community calls and weekly zooms to help owners suffering from different behavioural issues

What if I cannot find my breed?

Don't panic. We have worked with a long tail of rarer breeds (eg Wolfhounds, Deerhounds, Dalmatians, Neopolitan Mastiffs etc) and are happy to write guides if you need help. (We only have so much time)

Is barking fixable?

Yes and no. Certain breeds are more inclined to bark (such as the Dachshund). These dogs are inclined to bark more easily and changing these behaviours is incredibly challenging. For other breeds this is possible with consistency and effort.

Can dog-dog aggression be solved?

The most important consideration is whether this is reactivity or aggression. Dogs that are reactive are usually scared and act out. For dogs that are aggressive, usually 1 in every 100, these is a much more severe behavioural issue that can take a lot longer to solve (if at all).

Can dog-human aggression be solved?

Similar to the above but there are many more moving parts. Different methods approach this differently but this can be solved. This can be exacerbated with new borns, if that is the situation you are in

About The Toe Beans Co

Ethical First

Dog training is full of some mental people. It is always terrifying to see how many trainers use shock collars and pain to train pets. We don't do this. We NEVER use pain, fear, force or aggression and will never, under any circumstances, support, condone or recommend any practices that follow these schools of thought.

A Passion For Paws

I have pets. I love them. I know how special the bond is and that trusting somebody else with your pet is a huge leap.

My commitment to you is to love your pet like family and give you complete peace of mind when they are with us.

Ultimately, my goal is to give you and your pet the relationship you have always wanted.

In Australia, over 40,000 dogs & cats go to shelters every year and many for very fixable behaviours or inconvenience. I think it would be great to get this number down.

Our Mission

To ensure you always have someone you trust that you can turn to when you need help with your pet. Whether it is: big or small, last minute or weeks in advance, you can be stress free in knowing your pet is in safe hands.
To raise as much money for Teenage Cancer Research as we can. The better a service we provide, the more people will want to work with us and the more we can donate. Simple as that.
