Puppy School Sunshine Coast
A 4-Week Foundation Course by Paws, Claws & Tails
Puppy School Sunshine Coast is a structured 4-week foundation course created to guide puppies and their owners through the most important early learning stage. Delivered by Paws, Claws & Tails, the program focuses on building calm behaviour, confidence and practical life skills that support puppies at home, out in the community and as they grow into adult dogs.

This Puppy School is designed around everyday life with a puppy. The emphasis is on skills that genuinely matter — helping owners understand their puppy, communicate clearly and set up good habits that last well beyond the course.
A Calm, Progressive 4-Week Program
The course runs over four weeks, with each session building logically on the last. Puppies are given time to learn, process and practise, helping them develop confidence and emotional stability rather than rushing through behaviours.
The course is 4 weeks long.
Training is delivered using positive, reward-based methods that support learning without pressure, ensuring puppies feel safe, engaged and motivated throughout the program.
Who This Puppy School Is Designed For
Puppy School Sunshine Coast is ideal for:
- Young puppies in their early learning stages
- Owners wanting structured guidance during the puppy phase
- Families aiming to prevent common problem behaviours
- Puppies needing support with focus, calmness and confidence
- Owners who want practical skills they can continue using at home
The course places strong importance on owner education, so families leave with the knowledge and confidence to guide their puppy well into the future.
What the 4-Week Course Covers
Across the four weeks, puppies and owners work through a carefully planned curriculum, including:
- Safe and controlled puppy socialisation
- Foundation obedience skills such as sit, down, stay and recall
- Loose-lead walking and polite on-lead behaviour
- 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 behaviour
- Gradually reducing reliance on food rewards
- Creating consistent routines for training, play and rest
Each session includes clear explanations, practical exercises and guidance for continued practice at home.
Small Group Classes for Personalised Support
Classes are kept intentionally small, with a maximum of five puppies per group. This allows for individual attention, calmer learning environments and better-managed puppy interactions.
Small group sizes help puppies feel comfortable while still benefiting from social learning, and allow trainers to tailor support to each puppy and owner.
Additional Training Options Available
For puppies who need extra help or owners wanting tailored support, Paws, Claws & Tails also offers one-on-one puppy training sessions. These private sessions can complement Puppy School or be used as a standalone option and are ideal for specific goals or quieter learning environments.
