KIDPROOF YOUR DOGS AND DOG PROOF YOUR KIDS
Child/dog safety All children should be taught to respect other living beings, be they animal or human. From birth, children need to learn that some things are just not allowed, and "be gentle" should be a common household command. Even if your household does not contain animals, your children should still be taught the basics. One day they will encounter an animal, whether it is somebody else's pet in a controlled environment, or a meeting on the street with a strange dog. Students receive verbal instruction, handouts and visual demonstrations.

DOGGIE 101: Nourished Dog, Healthy Dog, Athletic Dog, Handsome Dog
A dog has specific needs—food, water, exercise, care…and love. Water and love are simple requirements. This workshop is designed for those contemplating owning a dog as well as the dog-lover. Each 1 ½ hour class will concentrate on such topics as nutrition, games, grooming, and the necessities that keep your dog healthy and well-mannered. Students receive verbal instruction, handouts and visual demonstrations. An optional book, DOG OWNER’S HOME VETERINARY HANDBOOK, is available for purchase at $23.00 (retail price $30.00)

Pet First Aid
Emergencies can occur anytime, anywhere. It's possible that you can handle any accident that may occur with your pet. However, pets often require special care that is not possible with general knowledge or even with first aid supplies designed for people. During this course ACME canine’s trained professionals will advise you on what is required to be prepared as well as what to include in a pet first-aid kit. Being ready will help reduce your anxiety if an emergency does happen.
