Group Puppy Classes
Training Individualized to Your Needs and Your Puppy's Personality
and Temperament
Puppies begin learning at birth and their brains appear to be particularly responsive
to learning and retaining experiences that are encountered during the first 16 weeks
after birth. This means that breeders, veterinarians, trainers and owners have a
responsibility to assist in providing these learning/socialization experiences with
other puppies/dogs, with children/adults and with various environmental situations
during this optimal period from birth to 16 weeks.
Group classes are great for the average puppy. They allow normal socialization with
other dogs and people. They are not, however, designed to be effective with the overly
shy or aggressive puppy. Group puppy classes are limited to 6 dogs and their owners.
Multiple owners are encouraged to attend (after all, everyone in the home needs to be
able to handle the puppy!) Humans age 8 and up are welcome; please leave small children
at home, unless you have alternate adult supervision for them.
PUPPY PRE-SCHOOL
ACME canine’s PUPPY PRE-SCHOOL is designed to assist you with understanding your dog and for
getting the most out of your lives together. This weekly on-going class occurs 1:00 pm on
Saturdays at our home training facility, on the corner of First and Franklin Streets in
Lewis Center, Ohio. Each week is something different, but over a 4-week period topics
covered include socialization, grooming, safety, confidence building, housetraining,
controlled leash walking, and several commands as well as a variety of behavioral and
preventative topics. This course is for puppies up to 16 weeks of age. Pups need to
have been in your home for two weeks and be current on vaccines and have no underlying
contagious medical problems to attend. We use lure and reward based methods of training
for this program. Please call or email to reserve your spot. Proof of current vaccinations
required at first visit.

“Acme Canine was so helpful with their expert advice on training Deno. The sessions were just the appropriate method for Deno’s behavior issues. Thanks again for teaching this owner new tricks.”
