Update:
I've took my girl to the vet for grooming and her yearly exam and she did fantastic! We were able to go in the waiting area and past several dogs and she remained calm and ignored them. We've been out on walks in the park and her leash manners are so much better! No pulling and walking me. Still a work in progress, but I can't thank Buck's enough!
My GSD has a high prey drive and is very reactive to other dogs. I contacted Buck's for help with leash manners and reactivity. Stephanie called me immediately and set up a meet and greet with us. They observed her and listened to my concerns, and a three week board and training program was formulated.
My dog also has an autoimmune disorder that effects her nose and requires a daily med routine. It was no problem at all!
Once I dropped her off (it was like sending her to camp with all her stuff 🤣) I received pictures and videos several times each day of training and playtime. Communication is excellent during the training program. She even got to go on a field trip to town to dog friendly places as part of her training!
When it was time to bring her home I was given clear instructions and hands on training for me so we could continue at home.
The transformation has been fantastic! Taking her to the vet doesn't require staying in the car until our turn because of waiting room aggression. She's learning distraction impulse control with the proper commands. Leash manners are 💯 improved. It's one of the best investments you can make for yourself and your fur babies!
The relationship didn't just end with training day graduation. I can call with any questions, help and suggestions for new situations for her and get answers and suggestions. Stephanie, Shelby, Hailey and everyone are amazing!
I am so very happy to have found Buck's Dog Training Virginia!

Buck's Dog Training was the absolute best choice that I have made for my pup, Milo. As a 1-year-old herding breed with anxiety, he was struggling with severe leash reactivity after a cross-country move. Before his three-week board-and-train, his behavior had gotten so bad that walks became the most stressful part of our day, and we were avoiding leaving our home with him. Thanks to the incredible work of this team, our walks have become the best part of our routine, and he goes with us wherever he can! Buck’s provided him with the confidence, skills, and experience he needed to safely navigate stressful situations. They also ensured that my husband and I could continue his training through video lessons, a group chat where we can ask questions, and a mini owner training session before pick-up. Overall, we could not recommend them enough!

I highly recommend Buck’s Dog Training for any dog who has reactivity and more. We cannot believe the transformation with our pup Benny in the two week training program. Walking him is a joy instead of a struggle. The team kept us updated with photos and videos throughout! Thank you to everyone at Buck’s Dog training !!! You guys are awesome!
