Beyond Puppy School: Expert Dog Training for Art Deco Apartments and Inner-City Density
Why a Potts Point Pup Needs Our Full Program
Potts Point is Sydney's unique, high-density, vertical village, famous for its Art Deco buildings, European café culture along Macleay Street, and the iconic El Alamein Fountain in Fitzroy Gardens. Living here means your dog is constantly exposed to city sirens, café crowds, and limited green space. A dog that is reactive or noisy risks immediate conflict in tightly-packed apartment blocks. You need a training plan designed for urban resilience, guiding you 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 dense Eastern Suburbs.
Why Choose The Toe Beans Co Over a Basic Puppy Class?
Potts Point owners choose our program because we specialize in high-stakes obedience where space is at a premium and noise carries.
-
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.
-
Noise and Density Training: We focus intently on crate training and relaxation protocols to ensure quiet living in apartments, tackling separation anxiety, which is easily triggered by the constant noise of city streets.
-
Total Support System: You receive 6 Months Chat and Email Support and 6 Months Video Tutorial Support with over 300+ videos, and Lifetime Access to the Dog Calming Code methodology.
-
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: You provide a training equipment kit and join 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 master noise and routine management in a compact space before the pup arrives, ensuring they settle smoothly.
Puppy Program (8 Weeks – 8 Months) & Puppy School
Searching for "Puppy School in Potts Point" leads you to the foundational component of our Puppy Program, tackling the critical 8 weeks to 8 months phase.
-
Puppy School Component: This is 4×50 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 high-traffic pedestrian routes like Victoria Street and Challis Avenue and maintain focus near outdoor dining on Llankelly Place.
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:
-
Time-Sensitive Off-Leash: Proofing immediate recall for the peak morning and evening off-leash hours at nearby Rushcutters Bay Park, where time management is critical.
-
Leash Manners: Perfecting loose-leash walking on the steep streets and staircases (like the McElhone Stairs), ensuring you maintain full control.
-
Café and Crowd Proofing: Training steady behaviour to ignore distractions from dining patrons and street activity, essential for the local European-style outdoor culture.
Frequently Asked Questions About Puppy School Potts Point
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 Potts Point 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.”
