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.

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 to learn in a controlled environment, with personal attention helps them feel safe while practicing new behavior.
