Puppy School Sunshine Coast

A 4-Week Early Learning Program by Paws, Claws & Tails

Puppy School Sunshine Coast is a professionally delivered 4-week early learning program designed to guide puppies through the most important stage of their development. Created and run by Paws, Claws & Tails, the course focuses on practical, everyday behaviours that help puppies grow into calm, confident and well-adjusted adult dogs.

This Puppy School is centred on real life with a puppy — not just what happens in class. The program equips owners with clear, achievable training strategies they can use at home and out in the community, setting both puppy and family up for long-term success.

The course is 4 weeks long.

A Structured 4-Week Learning Journey

The Puppy School runs over four consecutive weeks, with each session building carefully on the previous one. This progressive structure allows puppies to develop skills gradually, reinforcing confidence, calm behaviour and positive habits without overwhelm.

Training is delivered using modern, reward-based methods that support learning in a positive and pressure-free way, helping puppies feel safe, engaged and eager to learn.

Designed for Puppies — and Their People

Puppy School Sunshine Coast is well suited to:

Young puppies in their critical learning phase
Owners seeking guidance and reassurance during the puppy stage
Families wanting to prevent common behavioural challenges early
Puppies needing help with focus, confidence or calm behaviour
Owners who value understanding why behaviours occur, not just how to manage them

The course places strong emphasis on owner education, ensuring families leave with practical skills they can confidently continue using beyond the four weeks.

What the 4-Week Course Covers

Over the duration of the course, puppies and owners work on essential foundations, including:

Safe, controlled puppy socialisation
Core obedience foundations such as sit, down, stay and recall
Loose-lead walking and polite lead manners
Calm behaviour around people, dogs and everyday distractions
Confidence building and resilience
Impulse control and settling skills
Handling and grooming preparation, including paws and nails
Understanding puppy development and communication
Gradually reducing reliance on food rewards
Creating balanced routines for training, play and rest

Each session combines explanation with hands-on practice, along with guidance for continuing training at home between classes.

Small Groups for Better Learning Outcomes

To ensure quality training and individual support, class sizes are limited to a maximum of five puppies per group. Small groups create a calmer learning environment, allow for personalised feedback, and support positive social experiences without puppies becoming overwhelmed.

Additional Training Support Available

For puppies or owners requiring extra assistance, Paws, Claws & Tails also offers private one-on-one puppy training sessions. These sessions can complement the Puppy School program or be used independently for specific goals or quieter learning environments.

Highly Regarded by Sunshine Coast Puppy Owners

Puppy School Sunshine Coast is supported by consistently positive reviews from local puppy owners. Feedback commonly highlights noticeable improvements in behaviour, increased puppy confidence and a clearer understanding of how to manage everyday puppy challenges.

Many families choose to continue with further training after completing Puppy School due to the strong foundation established during the four-week program.
