Acme Canine - We Teach Dog Owners New Tricks!

Canine Camps

Training Individualized to Your Needs and Your Dog's Personality and Temperament

Dog owners with busy lifestyles or who need their dog trained quickly may want to consider our on-site programs. The main benefit of sending your dog off to be trained is that more commands can be taught and learned in a shorter time frame. This is possible through multiple training sessions with our certified trainers occurring throughout the day.

The training process includes travel accommodations to different venues where your dog will receive socialization and distraction training in real life situations. ACME canine considers your dog’s comfort and happiness our number one concern. All overnight camps include gentle, individualized loving attention, 2-3 walks per day, playtime either alone or with other dogs and scratches behind the ear with loving hugs before bedtime. In addition ACME canine will provide email updates and documentation of the ENTIRE TRAINING PROCESS as a permanent record of your dogs' progress and training on request. We’ll even pick up and deliver your dog!

Unlike most training programs ACME canine teaches your pet in a home environment, using training methods appropriate for your dog’s personality and temperament. We customize the training methods for your dog to meet your unique needs and goals. We provide follow up sessions at your home to ensure you have the training knowledge and techniques to maintain your well mannered dog. As our client, you also have the opportunity to call us for help if you ever have problems with your dog ---at no further cost!
