"I just finished my initial assessment of my ten month old dachshund. She has been a struggle, to say the least, and I have even been close to giving up and finding her a new home. Realizing that is not what I want to do, I turned to Acme Canine for help. My assessment has restored much hope and positive thinking. Laura was wonderful to talk to and full of advice and knowledge. I look forward to my personal training sessions and the future growth in my relationship with my dog and Acme Canine. I cannot thank you enough!"

Bollinger family, Powell

"Since I'm basically a cat person, I was apprehensive about meeting Laura at her Acme Canine facility the first time. I assumed it would smell like dogs and that dogs would be barking. I was amazed at how clean, bright and cheery her facility is. And not a sound out of the dogs in residence. What a great experience -- even for a non-dog person!"

Karen Dennis, Westerville

"I have to tell you how thrilled we are with Marvin’s (our miniature goldendoodle) behavior and obedience following his "residency" training at Acme last summer.
