I can’t say enough good things about Buck’s. Not only did they do a great job training my newly adopted rescue, but they made her feel safe and they loved her like she was one their own dogs. Being able to leave my girl with Buck’s for two weeks without a single doubt that she would be very well taken care of meant everything to me. The entire staff was excellent, the daily communications (texts with pics and videos) were awesome to let me see the work in progress, and the difference in my dog’s behavior and confidence are night and day. I highly recommend Buck’s dog training!

This was such a great experience for me and my pup. He has come such a long way and we can hang out and go places. The staff is responsive super sweet and loved on my boy for the 2 weeks and beyond really. I would definitely recommend! The summer camp is also a great treat! It was great to see him have such a great time with his friends.

I brought my 1 year old frenchie to Bucks hoping for a miracle. Coda had no recall, no impulse control and did not play nice with others. After working with the team here, he now can do group play, recall and is leaps and bounds better socially all around. Coda loves going to Bucks for day care and reinforcement which allowed him to handle a situation recently when 3 dogs got out from the neighbors and surrounded him and I. Coda remained calm, did not react at all and it all worked out! So kudos to the amazing Virginia team for the great work they do even to the most stubborn! Coda cries every time we leave Bucks. Highly recommend them!!!!

My husband and I took our 2 dogs to Buck’s Dog Training Virginia. Merlin is a 1 year old Boxer Australia Cattle dog and Maggie is a 2 year old Boxer mix. Both great dogs, great with people, and other animals. Boy are they a handful, Merlin has energy and likes to bounce around like crazy and Maggie has separation anxiety and didn’t know her name when we rescued her.
Stephanie and her staff were absolutely amazing. Talk about great customer service. All the staff were extremely knowledgeable, patient, very professional, friendly, and willing to answer any questions no matter how small. Both dogs stayed for roughly 3 weeks as they needed some work. The facilities were amazing, such a nice set up. We received pictures and short videos daily. Along with updates, how things were going, all pros and cons. We were well informed. The dogs have been home for about 7 hrs now and we can see the difference. Thank you for all the amazing work. 🤗🐾♥️
