The ACA Advantage
Our Canine Immersion Program stands as the premier choice for comprehensive dog training in Colorado and the Denver Metro Area. With expert leadership, innovative course planning, and a multifaceted approach to obedience training, there is no better way to train your beloved pup.
Dog Trainer Experience
ACA is a pioneer of the board and train concept right here in Denver, Colorado. We operate the first and only Canine Immersion program in the state. This is board and train; elevated. Many other local dog trainers base their programs on our system and techniques because of the effectiveness of our training program. Our court-certified canine expert, Sean Miller, has even trained many of their dogs. If you see similar programs, now you know why!
Indoor/outdoor Runs
ACA provides indoor/outdoor runs so your dog has the freedom to go to the bathroom as needed throughout the training sessions. For those dogs that do better in kennels, we also offer this option along with a dedicated outdoor space. Surprisingly, many local Denver training companies limit your dog to kennels only. Your dog has freedom with ACA!
Obedience Training Field Trips
With your permission, we regularly take your dogs off-site for training. We'll visit places like local parks, home goods stores, and pet stores. We'll even provide training videos to demonstrate your dog's progress during these outings. We don't guarantee that every dog in our training program will attend off-site training, but many dogs do!
Outdoor Training Field
In addition to an indoor training area, ACA offers a large, fenced area for your dog to learn and train outdoors. This essential resource allows us to train your dog with real-world distractions, to lessen reactivity to the environment, and to build up the repetition of their new behavior.
Private Dog Training Home Environment
We have a home environment at our training facility complete with a full kitchen, a living room, and a bathroom. We regularly use this space to train our client dogs during their canine immersion program, similar to in-home dog training, but in a controlled environment. This has been created to best prepare them for their return to their home environment.
Denver Lodging
Our clients love the fact that we offer lodging for their pets once they've graduated from our canine immersion programs. While you're on vacation, we will be happy to take care of your dog and continue to practice your dog's training during their stay with us. We offer lodging packages to save you money, and if your dog is comfortable being bathed, we'll include a free bath with every stay at ACA!
Behavior Training Progress Reports
You will receive training updates that include videos of your dog demonstrating their new commands so that you can track their progress. We'll send these regularly throughout their training program. In these reports, we'll talk about their unique training plan, we'll address behavioral observations, and talk about the next steps for your dog to build on what they have learned.
Lifetime Canine Guarantee
This is a one-of-a-kind program that allows you to have a resource for life. When you enroll your canine companion into one of our dog training programs, the training doesn't end when your dog goes home. We are so sure of our ability to properly serve you and your family that we offer a unique Lifetime Canine Guarantee. Upon completion of any training course, your dog is qualified for lifetime training classes for a touch-up or refresher training. The Lifetime Canine Guarantee also applies to the Immersion Programs. You won't find a more inclusive program anywhere!
The Art Of Dog Training
At American Canine Academy, we believe that dog training and behavior modification are true forms of art. This is a craft that requires years of hands-on apprenticeship to develop a deep understanding of how dogs relate and respond to the training. Our trainers have the knowledge and experience to create detailed, customized training plans. They can anticipate and address potential behavior issues before they arise, and they have a keen ability to foresee how current behaviors might evolve over time. This level of skill and insight is what sets us apart in the field of dog training and behavior management.

A History Of Excellence In Behavioral Training
We are extremely grateful for our devoted customers and the countless success stories we've had the privilege of being a part of. While American Canine Academy was initially created in 1990 under a different name, we were formally established in 2005 under the leadership of our court-certified canine expert, Sean Miller. With extensive experience training dogs across the United States and Europe, Sean has collaborated with some of the finest dog trainers worldwide.
