They let our dog who was recently diagnosed with cancer come for an hour of training and agility work. The genuinely best people! If we make it through this we are definitely going back!

When beginning the search for a dog trainer to help us with our new puppy, it was the number of exceedingly positive reviews that prompted us to first contact Stephanie Loria and Buck’s Dog Training Virginia. Stephanie promptly and thoroughly responded to our inquiry about possible training options, and immediately after this first conversation, we understood why the reviews were glowing. Our positive first impression was bolstered by every subsequent interaction that was unfailingly professional, understanding, kind, genuine, patient, and accommodating. Stephanie and all of the trainers we and our pup interacted with during the two-week puppy training demonstrated knowledge, skills, and a demeanor that produced clear results in our pup and ourselves. We received multiple videos and photos each day documenting the progress our pup was making, and we were never worried about him while he was away. It was clear that he was happy and learning (and happy to be learning), and it was also obvious that all of the trainers were sincerely dedicated to helping our puppy and us—not just for the two-week stint but for the long haul. We are grateful to Stephanie and all of the trainers at Buck’s Dog Training Virginia for helping our pup make such significant progress in a short amount of time and for giving both our pup and us a solid foundation upon which we can continue to build effective and rewarding communication. We also have no doubt that we can count on Stephanie Loria and the trainers at Buck’s Dog Training Virginia with any future questions and needs.
