Complete Puppy Program - Choose Your Support Level

The Toe Beans Co offers our Complete Puppy Program which includes: a 4 week group puppy school, 1:1 sessions, access to our 26 module online training course covering every element of puppy development with breed specific support up to 8 months old and 6 months community and phone support. We offer 3 levels of service: silver, gold and platinum that help you tailor the amount of one-to-one sessions and support to your needs. For puppies too old to attend puppy school (>15 weeks) at enrolment we offer a dedicated adolescent program that provides more 1:1 training in lieu of the puppy school.

Some owners want to get support through our online video tutorial platform. There are a range of courses contained in there covering:

• Solve Reactivity & Aggression
• Master The Walk
• Quit Jumping Up
• Stop Separation Anxiety
• Biting, Nipping & Chewing
• Won't Come Or listen
• Excessive Barking Be Gone
• Fearful or Hyperactive Dogs
• Potty Training Troubles
• New Puppy Nightmares

Our puppy schools are run across multiple different venues to ensure that you have a convenient place location to attend during the puppy program. We currently offer: Paddington, Marrickville, Neutral Bay, Zetland and Alexandria.

All of our puppy programs come with at least 1 x at home one to one session included. You can choose to increase this to how every many sessions you need. Some clients do not want to participate in group classes for several reasons. Socialisation is a critical point of puppy development. We are able to offer a full one to one experience for clients that are able to prove they can fully socialise their dog outside of our training.

The program covers your puppy's first 6 months, from before arrival through to 6-8 months old. The 4-week in-person Puppy School runs when your puppy is 12-16 weeks old, with 6 months of dedicated support throughout.

The group class element of our puppy programs are 4 weeks long. They are 45 - 60 minutes once per week. This gives a good balance of learning before your puppy runs out of energy (which happens quickly.). The group element of the class is between 12 and 16 weeks old. The overall course lasts 6 months.

Absolutely. You can join the course at any time. There may be elements that you are unable to do but plenty of owners join later on and really value having us there to help.

Our course is divided up in to different age brackets to help you get the most out of what you are looking for

There are a few ages where certain things happen but other than that there are no limitations:

• Puppy School: Your dog must be 12/13 weeks old in order to start the puppy school. This is for safety

You can still view the online puppy school videos if you would like to see what we do.

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.

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.
