We cannot say enough wonderful things about Buck’s Dog Training! From the moment Rock arrived, the entire staff treated him like family. Because Rock is a brachycephalic breed, we were especially concerned about the extreme summer heat. The team went above and beyond to ensure his safety and well-being, carefully monitoring him and making accommodations so he stayed safe and comfortable. That level of care and attention gave us complete peace of mind. When Rock came home, we were absolutely amazed. The transformation in such a short time has been incredible! Not only is he already demonstrating the skills he learned, but it’s obvious that the training was built on consistency, patience, genuine care and love for each dog. What truly sets Buck’s apart is the people. Every staff member we interacted with was kind, knowledgeable, encouraging, and clearly passionate about what they do. They didn’t just train our dog—they invested in his success and in ours as owners. The communication was TOP-NOTCH. They provided us with constant updates throughout the day with pictures, videos and messages. The response time for messages was also amazing!!! We are beyond pleased with Rock’s progress and are excited to continue our journey as part of the Buck’s Pack! If you’re looking for a training program that combines exceptional results with compassionate, personalized care, Buck’s Dog Training is the place to go. Thank you to everyone at Buck’s for taking such amazing care of our boy. We are incredibly grateful and recommend you without hesitation!

I cannot say enough amazing things about the training my puppy received at Bucks Dog Training! Five stars is not enough! Before we started, I was struggling with our chaotic little bundle of energy, but the transformation has been absolute night and day. The trainers didn't just work wonders with my pup; they actually took the time to teach *me* how to communicate effectively and keep up the progress at home. My puppy is now confident, well-mannered, and listens so beautifully, all while still keeping that happy puppy spirit. Hands down the best investment we've made with our puppy. Worth every penny! If you want trainers who genuinely care about your dog's success, look no further. They are true professionals who clearly love what they do. You'll get daily pics and videos that show progress and joy. It doesn't take long to realize that you and your pup become a part of their family that will last forever. Huge thank you to the whole team. xoxo Tammey Nielsen and Betty White

The board-and-train program exceeded our expectations. I came in because my dog struggled with reactivity, barking and pulling on walks. They are an excellent team of dog trainers! Professional, knowledgeable, and truly cares about the dogs. I received regular updates, photos, and videos throughout the process. He is been home for couple days and I already see huge improvement in leash walking. Highly recommended!

I have two very strong dogs. Both of them pulled on walks, and it was not a good experience for any of us! One dog was reactive. The other dog just had no manners at all. I sent both dogs to Buck’s VA to learn basic obedience and leash manners in a 3- week Board and Train. I am super happy. They worked on not only basic obedience but also the reactivity. The dogs came home and there is no more howling at the fence at the neighbors or the other dogs. We can walk with the dogs by our side hardly holding the leash. They have a great mastery of all the doggie basics like “sit”, “down”, “place” ,”off” and “out”. We now feel like we have a better relationship with our dogs as they look to us for guidance.
