What Our Denver Board And Train Clients Are Saying
I have had the privilege of knowing Sean and being a client of American Canine Academy for many years. Watching ACA grow into the influential and successful business they are today has been truly inspiring. Long before the age of online reviews, ACA was already a well-established name in the field. I recall when Sean provided training to local police and animal control departments, sharing his deep understanding of dog behavior. Furthermore, Sean's influence has extended to numerous other dog training companies throughout Colorado. My late wife once beautifully said, 'Sean has planted the trees that many local companies sit under.' Without a doubt, they are the leaders in this field.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Board And Train Programs
What is a Board and Train program?
Board and Train is an intensive training experience in Denver where your dog lives with our professional trainers and works daily on obedience, structure, and behavior. It’s the fastest and most effective training method and a great way to create real, lasting change, especially for dogs who need more training than weekly lessons can offer. It also helps your puppy or dog learn in a controlled environment, where personal attention helps them feel safe while practicing new habits.
What will my dog learn during their stay?
At American Canine Academy, our Board and Train programs in Denver are crafted to meet your puppy or adult dog’s specific needs, so that their training is effective and lasting. Here’s an overview of our offerings:
- Freedom Foundations (2-Week Off-Leash Immersion): Ideal for dogs and puppies ready for off-leash freedom with reliable control, built on voice commands and remote communication, outdoors and at home. We can also address puppy challenges here, depending on your dog’s stage.
- Leash Logic (2-Week On-Leash Immersion): Dependable on-leash behavior through voice commands, hand signals, and leash guidance, so your dog remembers the training during everyday outings.
- Total Recall (4-Week Off-Leash Immersion): The structure of Leash Logic with the freedom of Freedom Foundations, so your dog responds reliably both on and off the leash.
- Behavior Reset (6-Week Immersion Program): For dogs facing persistent challenges such as aggression, stress, or reactivity, while developing core obedience skills.
Each program is conducted in a structured environment with daily training, behavior coaching, and reinforcement, so your dog gets consistent guidance that holds up in real-world situations.
Can our programs help with behavior modification?
Yes. An immersion stay is one of the most effective ways to address unwanted behaviors. When a dog stays with our trainers, we can work consistently on correcting issues like reactivity, aggression, stress, and poor impulse control. With daily structure, repetition, and clear communication, dogs learn better choices, follow through consistently, and replace bad habits with lasting, positive behaviors that carry over at home.
How is our training different from other Denver options?
Our program offers the kind of daily, structured training Denver families rely on, and most other local programs just can’t match it. With this approach at the American Canine Academy, your dog isn’t just getting obedience commands, they’re learning real-world behavior, social skills, and confidence that lasts and makes them a happier pup. We are so invested in your dog’s training, we will happily extend their stay if more training is needed. You can read what local owners say in the reviews above.
How Much Does a Stay Cost?
Cost depends on the training program, the length of the boarding stay, and what your dog needs. Every package includes the gear and lifetime support listed above. Call or text (303) 288-2585 or schedule an appointment, and we’ll give you an exact quote for your dog.
Is Sending Your Pup Away for Training Worth It?
For many Denver owners, yes, especially when weekly lessons aren’t enough. A stay gives your pup daily training, structure, and repetition in a controlled setting, so new behavior sticks and dogs learn faster. And with our Lifetime Canine Guarantee, you can bring them back for a refresher at no extra charge.
Will My Pup Remember Me After Their Stay?
Yes. A few weeks away does not erase the bond between a pup and its owner. We share progress reports with videos during the stay, so you see what your dog is learning, and lifetime support continues once they are back with you.
What Is the Best Age to Start Training?
There’s no wrong time to start training. We build each program around your dog’s age and stage, and our dedicated puppy program is designed for the youngest learners. Tell us your dog’s age when you schedule, and we’ll point you to the right fit.
