TRAIN YOUR DOG AT HOME ONLINE
TRAIN YOUR DOG AT HOME ONLINE
ACTT provides the best classes available to train and socialize your puppy with instruction from two of Ontario’s most referred, respected, experienced and positive dog trainers. Norma Jeanne Laurette and Greg Ceci teach these classes as a team. Together they bring over 40 years experience having taught over 7000 classes and rehabilitated many hundreds of dogs. They are published authors and have been training professional dog trainers since 1994 with students and graduates in 15 countries.
They use only state-of-the-art dog training techniques and exercises that are 100% positive and scientifically proven. These methods are designed to help you achieve your training goals more quickly and efficiently while ensuring that you and your pup have a great time. ACTT is the only dog training facility that includes numerous off-leash play sessions in every class to ensure that your puppy has fun while burning off excess energy while building confidence and social skills. Socialization is the key to survival because almost all dog bites are caused by fear. Dogs that learn to like new dogs and people from a young age are unlikely to bite them. Creating confidence at a young age is also important for quality of life because living in fear is not fun. Because a dog’s socialization period ends at approximately 4 months of age, time is of the essence.
Note: We're closed on all holiday weekends and for bad weather. We return all calls and emails promptly during closures. See below for our list of closures. If classes are cancelled we will run one week longer to make up for the closure.
