About Ace’s Dog Academy

What they offer

Ace's Dog Academy describes itself as a professional dog training facility in Kiln, serving Hancock County and the Mississippi Gulf Coast. It lists four programs: a 49-day immersive board and train, 1-on-1 sessions at the Kiln facility with daily homework, an emotional support dog program, and a therapy dog program that prepares dog and handler teams for approved community settings. The site says it trains dogs of all breeds over 15 pounds.

How the training works

The board and train covers sit, down, place, heel, recall and off-leash work around real-world distractions. The site describes its programs as built on the same balanced training fundamentals and positive repetition, with real video updates during the program. Owners are required to train alongside the staff before the dog goes home, and every graduate gets free lifetime tune-up sessions. Dogs boarding with the academy get obedience tune-ups during their stay.

Background

The site credits the academy with over two decades on the Gulf Coast and says its roots are in working dogs through a sister company that breeds and trains championship-caliber retrievers.
