From the bottom of our hearts, we can not thank Steph and Laura and all of the trainers at Buck’s Dog Training Virginia enough for everything that they did for our babies! We never worried for one minute about how our babies were being cared for. We could tell from the moment we first communicated with Stephanie that they truely love what they do and care for each animal like it’s their own. Shadow and Aurora needed some behavior modification on top of their service dog training. They did an amazing job with them! The long drive from Florida was well worth it! We are going home with 2 amazing service dogs! A special thank you to Jax for some last minute leash manners tips and giving me more confidence with my girl.

Absolutely Life-Changing Experience!
I cannot say enough good things about Buck's Dog Training! We enrolled our two Dobermans, Kingston and Nyxon, in their training boot camp, and the transformation has been nothing short of amazing. Every single trainer who worked with our dogs was incredibly kind, caring, and knowledgeable. It was clear they treated our dogs like their own.
A special shout-out to Stephanie, the owner—what an incredible person. She was patient, understanding, and so supportive while we worked through some unexpected payment issues. Her compassion and professionalism were deeply appreciated.
Our Dobermans came home well-behaved, calm, and responsive—it’s like we have two completely different (and better!) dogs now. We finally have peace of mind knowing they listen and respond appropriately in any situation.
If you're considering training for your dog, look no further than Buck's Dog Training. They truly go above and beyond. We’re forever grateful!

I’m beyond impressed with the boarding training experience at Buck’s Dog Training. I enrolled my dog Meeko for the boarding training program and the transformation has been nothing short of amazing. Before training Meeko, had some behavioral issues like pulling, jumping and excessive barking, but when I picked him up after training, he was a whole new dog! If you’re looking for a safe professional and efficient way to train your dog, I highly recommend Buck’s Dog Training boarding training program. It was worth every penny and I couldn’t be happier with the results!

So, about a month ago we took our 2 babies, separately to Stephanie and her team. Our dogs have litter mate syndrome( which is a real thing). They didn’t walk nice, they are 80lbs and can pull a freight train. After 1 week at Bucks, it’s like day and night. They get along well, don’t chase their brothers, the cats, and best of all one of us can take both of them for a walk without fear of being dragged into the bushes when they want to go on their own. I would definitely recommend Bucks Training for all your needs.

Wow! What a difference the training we received made in our 2 dogs. Our dogs were reacting to each other causing a complete crate and rotate scenario in our home. Normally friends these two decided to become friend-enemy’s. With the help of the lady’s at Bucks Dog Training Virginia our dogs are back to being friends again. Once a part of the pack you’re always considered family. We also received a complete e-collar class. I was always scared of using them. They calmed my fear and I learned they aren’t so bad after all. Since the first training experience I have done several other trainings with them too. Once graduated from training Buck's host other events at the farm. My 2 dogs love summer camp! They get to go swimming, do arts and crafts, spa day, agility, and lots of off leash running. They are given lots of love and attention while there, and we are sent lots of pictures and videos of them having their best summer ever! We love the people at Bucks Dog Training and they love us, and our dogs in return. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for training. If you’re on the fence don’t hesitate, just go for it. Your dog with thank you!
