Puppy Training
At Tumblewood Canine our puppy training classes offer a positive learning environment where you can lay the foundation for your puppy to develop important life skills and start your relationship and puppy training off on the right foot. We use different exercises and activities to help you build your bond with your puppy, address common unwanted puppy behaviours, lay the proper foundation for further dog training, and provide the opportunity to socialize your puppy. We offer small class sizes with a maximum of four puppies to ensure you get plenty of instructor time!
Puppy Kindergarten
Puppy Kindergarten is a general course that introduces a variety of foundational skills to help start your puppy training off on the right foot. This includes topics such as; managing various unwanted puppy-related issues, socializing your puppy, and introducing obedience skills. Our goal is to give you the tools to lay the right foundation with your puppy and build your relationship – so you can continue their training and help them become the perfect canine companion!
As part of the course, you will receive access to a recorded Intro Talk. This session introduces the dog training techniques we will use throughout the course and provides strategies to address common puppy behaviours, such as house training, nipping, and biting.
Skills Include:
- Puppy-proofing your home
- Addressing common puppy issues (housetraining, nipping, chewing…)
- Socialization (dogs, people, places, and situations)
- Grooming, basic care, and going to the vet
- Greeting people and dogs appropriately
- Foundational obedience basics (place, name, sit, down, stay, loose leash walking, recall…)
- Impulse control
- And more!

“We put our 3 month old pup, Bruno, into the puppy kindergarten program. We liked Kim’s training philosophy and approach and were impressed by how quickly we saw results with Bruno. We’re going to continue on with some of the other programs she’s offering. Great facility as well.”

“We completed the puppy kindergarten program which was great! The dog training classes are small in size which is awesome as it really ensures that each dog has the right amount of attention and is set up for success by the end of the program.”
