I was nervous sending my pup off to any board and train, being that I have been a trainer myself and wanted to ensure that he received positive, fair and effective training. My partner and I simply did not have the capacity to train him adequately during this phase of life, give our graduate pursuits and professional demands. I scoured Virginia searching for trainers and camps that practiced positive reinforcement techniques and seemed both diligent and competent. The team at Buck's was incredibly responsive, kind, competent and enthusiastic about working with our Corgi pup Butters! He arrived at Buck's with some really unsavory habits including scavenging, prey drive, lack of recall, and hyperarousal with a lack of boundaries around other dogs. It's been a week since he has returned home and his foundations are so much stronger than when he left which is exactly what we wanted to continue to shape wanted behaviors. We have so much confidence in Butters' ability to continue to grow as we maintain all of the amazing work that Buck's trainers did with him. We received daily updates, honest feedback and progress and the pricing/payment plan was very fair! The team truly cares about the dogs in their care and I will definitely be sending Butters back whenever we need boarding! Many thanks to Stephanie and the team!

From start to finish I cannot say enough good things about the team at Bucks Dog Training. I brought my spicy 2 year old German shepherd for help with her reactivity. From my initial call with Stephanie I had nothing but positive feelings. Throughout baguettes time at Bucks I got constant videos and pictures of her progress and it was evident in every video how much care and love each of the trainers put into the pups. I would recommend Bucks to anyone looking for training for their pups. I already plan on sending my other two pups in the future. 15/10 recommend this team!

We are so grateful to Stephanie, Shelby, Morgan, Ben, and every other person who assisted in training our 1 1/2 year old slightly handicapped rescue German shepherd Banks. We were so defeated before his training with his aggressive playing (biting), listening to literally no commands, and the stress he was causing our two Great Danes. He stayed at Bucks for their 3 week board and train and has now been home for 2 1/2 weeks and he is literally a different dog. He has so much self control now and when we tell him to leave our 8 year old Dane alone when she is tired and done playing he does. He is such the gentleman these days and we are so thankful to the group for all they did. This was the best investment we could have made for our family, Banks, and our other dogs! Thank you Bucks Dog Training!
