The Toe Beans Co
The Toe Beans Co runs puppy school and dog training across five Sydney venues, Paddington, Neutral Bay, the Inner West, Marrickville and Zetland, plus one-to-one sessions in the client's own home. Its puppy school and program covers eight to thirty-two weeks: support and week-by-week guides from the day the puppy arrives, a two-hour home visit at eight to eleven weeks for crate, toileting and biting, four weeks of group class once the second vaccination is done, then an online course that keeps going through the boundary-testing stage at sixteen to twenty-four weeks and adolescence at twenty-five to thirty-two weeks, where the business notes most schools have already finished. Adult dog training picks up beyond thirty-two weeks, and it also offers dog walking and pet sitting. Trainer Luke works with everything from nervous sighthounds to reactive adolescent dogs using a force-free approach.
What people praise
- Force-free method that works well with nervous or anxious dogs
- Sessions tailored to the individual dog rather than a one-size-fits-all program
- Trainer is responsive between sessions by phone and text
- Puppy program runs from eight weeks right through adolescence at thirty-two weeks, not just the four-week group class
- Covers puppy school through adult behaviour issues like resource guarding and leash reactivity
Our take: A strong pick for puppy owners who want a structured, age-staged program and hands-on support between sessions, especially for nervous or first-time-owner situations.
