Beyond Puppy School: Expert Dog Training for Safe and Steady Cliff-Side Living
Why a Dover Heights Pup Needs Our Full Program
Dover Heights is defined by its dramatic, elevated views and direct access to the Federation Cliff Walk. Here, a dog's lack of attention isn't just annoying—it's a genuine safety risk near exposed areas like Eastern Reserve or Rodney Reserve. Your dog needs training that prioritizes rock-solid impulse control and recall in highly distracted, open environments. A basic Puppy School will not cover the intensity of cliff-side living. Our Puppy Program is your essential guide, starting from the pre-puppy stage through the full eight months of development. 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 Eastern Suburbs.
Why Choose The Toe Beans Co Over a Basic Puppy Class?
Dover Heights owners choose our program because of:
- Our Simple Guarantee: Our guarantee is simple. If you attend the entire course, miss no sessions and don't think we were worth it. We will give you 100% of your money back.
- Cliff-Edge Safety Recall: We specialize in proofing recall and teaching dogs to respect boundaries, which is non-negotiable when walking near the coastal reserves and the Dudley Page Reserve lookout.
- Total Support System: You receive 6 Months Chat and Email Support and 6 Months Video Tutorial Support with over 300+ videos covering everything from quiet crate training to managing teenage challenges.
- 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.
- Invaluable Resources Included: We provide a training equipment kit, Lifetime Access to the Dog Calming Code methodology, and a supportive Puppy Team Cohort. Every trainer is a Red Cross Australia Pet First Aid Trainer and is AFP Background Checked, and we are a Certified Professional Pet Sitter.
Our Comprehensive Puppy Program: Your Road Map to a Great Dog
We cover three key phases in your dog’s journey to make sure they develop into a well-mannered adult who thrives in Sydney.
Pre-Puppy Program (Pre-Puppy to 8 Weeks)
This program is for new or prospective owners. Before committing, we help you understand whether getting a dog is the right decision for your lifestyle. We then help you set up your home, master toilet training routines, and create a calm schedule before the pup arrives, ensuring problem prevention.
Puppy Program (8 Weeks – 8 Months) & Puppy School
Searching for "Puppy School in Dover Heights" leads you to the foundational component of our Puppy Program, tackling the critical 8 weeks to 8 months phase.
- Puppy School Component: This is 4 x 50 minute puppy classes between 12 and 16 weeks covering 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: Includes 4-week class, plus all the necessary support. We coach you to manage the high visual stimulation of harbour views and coastlines, essential for walks along the Waverley Cliff Walk.
Post Puppy Program (8 Months +)
This is the essential next step for your maturing dog. Our Post Puppy Program is designed for dogs 8 months and older who need advanced skills for navigating young adulthood. We focus on:
- Distraction-Proof Recall: Proofing commands for use in approved off-leash areas like Raleigh Reserve and Hugh Bamford Reserve (the North Bondi connection).
- Calmness on Trails: Ensuring steady, on-leash manners when walking the Federation Cliff Walk or passing through the quiet residential pockets near Caffyn Park.
- Protective Barking Management: Addressing nuisance barking directed at passing cars and walkers on the quiet, high-exposure streets.
Frequently Asked Questions About Puppy School Dover Heights
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 Dover Heights 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. High-density living 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. Our program provides 4×50-minute in-person classes, 6 months of dedicated chat/video support, lifetime methodology access, equipment, and a team cohort to support you for the first eight months of your dog's development.

“I felt at ease leaving my rescue Bonnie (who also receives daily medication) with the Toe Beans Co while we traveled overseas. I know she got the care and daily pats she needs and even received regular videos and updates.”
