Stephanie helped us from the first phone call when we didn’t know what to do with our dogs not getting along and we were in crisis mode as a family. We adopted a new dog from the shelter and everything was going well until our original dog decided to nip at him and he reacted by attacking. It resulted in my son getting bitten. Both dogs are now are practicing the manners that they learned at Buck’s and the dog that reacted has gained confidence. We appreciate everything that you’ve done to help us out from the first phone call to our training on generalization of skills in the home. Thank you so much!

The folks at Buck’s Dog Training are the most amazing people. Their love and passion for what they do radiates in their work. They have trained two of our dogs. Their work has provided a better quality of life, not only for our dogs, but for us! They’ve taken our “little wolf”, Mila, in for boarding on several occasions. And she comes home better each time! I highly recommend Buck’s for your training needs. It’s a game changer.

This is by far the best dog service trainer team in the area. We took our puppy here when she was just 10 months old and she built a relationship with Stephanie and Shelby. She then went back at 18 months old for a brush-up for Summer camp and had a blast. Both times were an excellent experience. She has a blast and learns so much. We love to get the pictures and see her progress, and she is treated like she is one of their own dogs. I receive comments about how well-behaved my energetic dog is in public all of the time. She is a border collie, so that says a lot. She knows her commands and is smart and follows directions. Bucks tapped into her potential and has set her on the right direction to a full life of service for my little Coco. We love this company and have a great relationship with this company and are so thankful to have found this gem in southern Virginia!
