Acme Canine - We Teach Dog Owners New Tricks!

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

Puppy preschool 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.

“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.”
