We have been going to Nicole for dog training since my oldest was 12 weeks old and she is 9 now! Nicole helped us get through the toughest couple of years with Ellie and even helped us out when we got her a sister. She also helped us with Rosie's reactivity and her barking when we first adopted her. We've learned so much from Nicole over the years. I strongly recommend Nicole to everyone!

Questions & answers
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! Check them out on Facebook where you can see more about them and read reviews!

Diesel just graduated from the 4 week board and train and I am so amazed at the results! I was nervous and a bit skeptical at first because I felt I had tried everything! Multiple trainers, medication for his anxiety, you name it! So taking him to ACA felt like a last ditch effort for all of us. And he is a completely different dog! He is calmer, pays attention and seems much happier. And the best part is we have ramped down his meds and he will be completely off by next week! We also have an 8 year old girl that was so scared of him because he used to target her and try biting. We just left our first family session after the month of board and train and she is so much more confident with Diesel. And he warmed up to her by the end of the session. Nicole is absolutely incredible as a trainer and partner to us on this journey. It’s not a magic pill but it’s definitely the boost we needed to get us all on the right track and make all of our lives, including Diesel’s so much better!
We’ve had such a great experience with Jackie and our dogs individual training! She’s very detailed and clear with her explanations. She is patient with us all and takes time to give us full recaps of our lessons. We purchased our prong collar from them and only wish they sold the Katie’s buckles at the training center, it made the collar way easier to use.

My dog, Carly, had an amazing experience here 6 years ago with a board & train. She came home with much better manners and spectacular leash etiquette. Due to various factors later in life, she has forgotten some of her learnings so I called American Canine again and they welcomed her back for free touch-up classes. Melanie has been great to work with and has proven their lifetime guarantee is real!

I brought my newly adopted 3 year old St. Bernard to American canine academy for their 2 week board and train. He went into the training knowing absolutely nothing. The staff went above and beyond to train my dog, going so far as to offering us an extra five days of training for free because my dog was a slow learner. Our main concern was leash reactivity and after 15 days with the staff, he could not care less about other dogs when we are out and about on top of excelling at his basic commands. I am thoroughly impressed with this program and the level of support I have received even after my dog left. Special shout out to Nicole for walking us through everything and believing in our boy!! If you have a difficult dog, she’s the person for you!
