Getting a new puppy is exciting, but it can also be a little overwhelming — especially if it has been a long time since you last had a young dog in the house.
Puppies are full of energy, curiosity and mischief. They need help learning how to walk nicely on a lead, come when called, settle calmly, listen around distractions and grow into a confident adult dog.
That is why we are pleased to let our Senior Tech Assist community know that Paws Claws & Tails offers a senior discount for Puppy School on the Sunshine Coast.
Paws Claws & Tails is run by Charlotte Bryan, a Sunshine Coast puppy trainer and dog consultant who helps families raise calm, confident puppies using kind, practical and reward-based training methods.
Puppy School for Sunshine Coast Families
Paws Claws & Tails Puppy School is designed to give puppy owners a clear and supportive start.
The course helps with the important early skills that make life with a puppy easier, including:
- Socialisation
- Recall
- Loose lead walking
- Focus around distractions
- Settling and calm behaviour
- Basic obedience
- Confidence building
- Handling, including preparation for things like nail trimming
- Preventing common puppy problems before they become habits
The classes are small, with a maximum of six puppies, which means owners and puppies receive more personal attention.
The program runs over four weeks and includes access to online training resources, helping owners continue practising at home between classes.
Why This Can Be Especially Helpful for Seniors
Many seniors love the companionship of a dog, but a puppy can be hard work in the early months.
A good puppy school can make a big difference. It gives owners structure, support and confidence at a time when it is easy to feel unsure about what to do.
For senior puppy owners, this can be especially useful if you want your puppy to grow into a dog who is easier to manage at home, on walks, around visitors and out in the community.
Training early can help prevent pulling on the lead, jumping up, not coming back when called, barking, overexcitement and other common issues that can become harder to fix later.
Local Sunshine Coast Puppy School Locations
Paws Claws & Tails offers Puppy School at several Sunshine Coast locations, including Mudjimba, Kawana/Buddina and Eudlo.
This gives local puppy owners a choice of locations and class times, depending on availability.
A Local Business Worth Supporting
Paws Claws & Tails is a local Sunshine Coast business with a strong focus on puppy development and practical dog training.
Charlotte’s approach is calm, kind and supportive. The aim is not just to teach tricks, but to help owners understand their puppy and build good habits from the start.
As well as Puppy School, Paws Claws & Tails also offers other puppy and dog training services, including private puppy consults, puppy home check-ins, puppy walk and train sessions, therapy dog training and other dog training programs.

A well-trained puppy is easier to live with, easier to walk, and easier to enjoy. For seniors wanting a calmer, more confident companion, Puppy School is a very sensible place to start.
I started this service after seeing how many older Australians struggle with technology — not because they can’t learn it, but because no one takes the time to explain it properly. With more than 20 years’ experience in digital technology and online training, I wanted to create something patient, local, and genuinely helpful.
