Dog Training Sunshine Coast
Professional dog and puppy training that actually works – with a calm, personalised approach.
Sunshine Coast-based Dog & Puppy Training
Paws Claws Tails offers personalised dog training across the Sunshine Coast, led by experienced behaviour consultant Charlotte Bryan. Whether you’re starting out with a new puppy, struggling with behavioural challenges, or just want a dog that listens reliably, Charlotte’s approach focuses on long-term results, not quick fixes.
Using a calm, reward-based method, Charlotte helps build stronger relationships between dogs and their people — through practical training, emotional balance, and clear communication.
At Paws, Claws & Tails, we also offer two specialised services designed to build lasting confidence between you and your dog — whether you’re tackling reactivity or preparing for life as an assistance dog team.
General Dog & Puppy Training Consults
Charlotte helps build stronger relationships between dogs and their people — through practical training, emotional balance, and clear communication.
Dog Training Sunshine Coast
Ideal for everyday challenges like pulling on lead, “selective hearing”, jumping up, or difficulty settling at home.
Practical, real-world training tailored to the individual dog and owner — perfect for dogs needing a reset or owners wanting guidance without the overwhelm.
Puppy consults cover foundations for a well-adjusted adult dog. Charlotte’s puppy training programs cover everything from toilet training and socialisation to building confidence, patience and calmness in different environments.
Charlotte Bryan's Reactivity Reset Program
For dogs who struggle with other dogs, people, or new environments.
Our reactivity-focused training helps you understand your dog’s triggers and teaches strategies to reduce overreactions using calm, connected handling. Each session is tailored to your dog’s unique stress responses, working at their pace to build resilience, trust, and better behaviour in the real world.

Lunging, barking, growling on walks

Fear-based or overstimulated behaviour
-
Dogs who can’t ‘switch off’ in public

Border Collie Training Sunshine Coast
Struggling with your Border Collie?
Whoever said “Border Collies are the easiest breed to train” clearly never owned one. Border Collies are a very special breed – with their intelligence comes an increased sensitivity and as a result these dogs require a different type of training and handling to many other breeds. Therefore, you need a different type of dog trainer – one who is familiar and experienced with the breed.
Border Collies are not suitable as your average pet – they require a job to do and if these needs are not fulfilled then they can become bored, destructive, hyperactive and hard to live with.
Border Collies are very intelligent animals. Yes, they can pick up new tricks and commands very easily. But this intelligence means they pick up bad habits just as quickly as good ones. Their intelligence also makes them extra sensitive and therefore they can be more prone to nervousness, phobias and anxiety more so than other breeds.
Charlotte loves Border Collies and she currently has a beautiful one of her own. Charlotte can help you with your Border Collie

Jack Russell Training Sunshine Coast
Struggling with your Jack Russell?
Jack Russells are great little dogs! They’re an odd mix of being both easy and difficult to train – that’s just the way they are. At times, they can be “stubborn” but training them is very rewarding!
What we must remember when we’re training Jack Russells is that they are terriers. And terriers require a leader and consistency with their training. Do you need help training your Jack Russell? Charlotte can help! Get in touch with us today.
Rescue Dog Training Sunshine Coast
There’s nothing more gratifying than adopting a resuce dog – you’re giving a dog another chance in life. Rescue dogs are often called “the best breed” of dog and it’s easy to understand why – shelter dogs have so much love to give. Unfortunately shelters and rescues often don’t have enough volunteers to give every dog they rescue that one on one training time. As a result, rescue dogs can develop some bad habits while they wait for their forever home.
