Puppy Foundations Training

The first five months shape everything. Puppy Foundations builds good habits, prevents common problems, and creates a confident, well-adjusted dog before bad behaviours become ingrained.

Who This Program Is For

New puppy owners (8 weeks to 5 months old) who want to do it right from the start.

This program is ideal if you:

  • Just brought home a puppy and want to avoid common behavioural issues
  • Understand that early training prevents future problems
  • Want your puppy to grow into a calm, reliable adult dog
  • Need guidance during the critical socialization window
  • Want to build the right foundation before problems develop
Common problems we address
  • Constant biting, mouthing, and nipping
  • Potty training struggles and daily accidents
  • No impulse control (jumping, demanding attention, can't settle)
  • Crate training battles and anxiety
  • Overwhelming or unclear socialization needs
  • Fear periods and reactivity to new experiences
  • Doesn't respond to basic commands or ignores you completely
Our approach

The first five months determine your dog's confidence, impulse control, and how they handle the world as adults. We focus on getting it right early so you don't spend years fixing problems later.

What we focus on:

  • Socialization during the critical development window (closes around 16 weeks)
  • Bite inhibition and appropriate play behaviour
  • Crate training and settling
  • Potty training foundations and consistent scheduling
  • Early obedience and impulse control
  • Age-appropriate methods tailored to each puppy's temperament
  • Building confidence without creating fear or overexcitement

Owner education is critical. We teach you how to handle common puppy challenges, maintain consistency at home, and continue building on what's been established.

What's included

Socialization and Confidence Building
Controlled exposure to people, dogs, environments, sounds, and surfaces. Your puppy learns to handle new experiences calmly.

Bite Inhibition Training
Teaching appropriate mouth pressure and redirecting mouthing behaviour. Prevents adult biting issues.

Crate Training and Settling
Your puppy learns to relax in a crate without anxiety. Creates structure and prevents destructive behaviour.

Potty Training Foundations
Consistent scheduling and management to establish reliable potty habits.

Early Obedience Commands
Sit, down, come, and place introduced in an age-appropriate way.

Impulse Control and Patience
Teaching your puppy to wait, settle, and control excitement. Reduces jumping and demand barking.

Handler Coaching
How to manage common puppy challenges and continue training at home.

Results you can expect
  • Well-socialized puppy that's confident in different environments
  • Reliable potty training habits and crate manners
  • Controlled mouthing and biting with better impulse control
  • Puppy that settles when asked and responds to basic commands
  • Foundation for future obedience training
  • Tools to continue building as your puppy grows into adolescence

This isn't just training for now. It's setting your dog up for long-term success.

I couldn't be happier with the program and results.
I highly recommend Noble K9!! My Higgins went there for the board and train program (4 weeks) and I couldn't be happier with the program and results. They are the only place I trust with my dog and use them regularly for their exceptional boarding services as well when I am traveling. Great people and facilities as well!
