Why Waveland Dog Owners Choose Ace's

Most Waveland clients come to us because group classes haven't worked for their dog. Our one-dog-at-a-time training approach and structured board-and-train environment produce results that group settings simply can't match — especially for dogs with reactivity, anxiety, or stubborn behavior issues.

From dogs that need to behave on the Waveland beachfront to puppies starting their first training, we tailor every program to the dog in front of us. We're proud to be Hancock County's go-to trainer for serious dog owners.

What's the best dog training program for Waveland families?
For most Waveland dogs with serious behavior issues or owners who want a fully trained dog, our 49-day board-and-train program produces the most reliable results. For owners who want to be hands-on, our 1-on-1 hourly sessions are a great option.
Do you train all breeds for Waveland clients?
We train all breeds over 15 pounds. Whether you have a Labrador, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, mixed breed, or anything in between, we tailor each program to your dog's personality and your goals.
Will my dog be reliable off-leash after training?
Off-leash reliability is one of the cornerstones of our board-and-train program. By the time Waveland clients pick their dog up, they have a dog that responds to commands around real-world distractions — other dogs, small animals, and busy environments.
