From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
I was just wondering about prices for the 2 week, 4 week, 6 etc. Also if there are any guarantee's on the results of training classes.
They offer a FREE , with no obligations. Call them and set it up. It will be a one on one sit down with one of the great trainers. They can listen to you, meet the pup(s) and decide what (if any) of thiers training options work for you! They can also give you a tour of the place!

American Canine Academy exceeds expectations. They were thorough from start to finish and though we worked primarily with Melanie, all the trainers and staff contributed to my dog's training and went above and beyond. I couldn't say enough kind things about our experience with them and they treated my dog as if she were their own.

Through ACA, I discovered that an old dog can indeed learn new tricks. Oats, my mutt, is 8 years old and did the month long board and train through ACA. Melanie and the entire team kept me updated on his progress, with videos and individualized notes. He needed to work on leash reactivity and distractions, and has improved so much with listening to commands and responding to both corrections and e-collar. Melanie is an incredibly impressive trainer and truly is able to speak the language that my dog needed. We have only had him back for one day, but I’m noticing a big difference. Now, it will be on me to continue daily training and corrections, speaking this new language and building trust with my dog. It will be a lot of work to maintain, but will make a world of difference for us. I can now expose Oats to so many scenarios that I wasn’t able to before. One of the most special things about how ACA has trained Oats is to reward with positivity and love. They paid close attention to Oats’s triggers, working with him on specific scenarios, like a rock climbing crag setting, but showered him in love when he did something right. It made us feel very seen. This will be a lifelong journey to continue his training, but ACA got us started perfectly. You do not need to look elsewhere for a board and train. ACA is worth every cent.
They care for Blue like their own pet amazing staff here
Melanie was instrumental in getting my 1.5 year old rescue dog under control. Her presence and demeanor were exactly what Kimi (and I) needed for him to become the well mannered dog he is now.
