We brought the staff at Buck Dog Training a one year old lab to train as a psychiatric support animal. I have no idea how to train a dog so it just looked like "magic" to me how fast and well they trained the dog.

I cannot sing the praises of Buck’s Dog Training Virginia enough. My Australian Cattle dog, Sadie is deaf! Double trouble, right? These girls turned my Tasmanian devil into a well behaved, focused dog that I can take anywhere! She no longer jumps on every one! She looks for commands, stays focused and on task and she will not have the amazing life that she deserves with us! I wouldn’t trust my Sadie to anyone else!

We took our 6 year old dog lilo to Buck’s for a 2 week board and train and could not be happier! Lilo went to Buck’s to learn better manners and how to interact with our new baby. On top of that she would demand bark towards us and had some reactivity towards dogs. Never in our wildest dreams did we think just 2 weeks after training we’d be able to bring her to a mall full of people and other dogs to do a family picture with our newborn!! Lilo was always the sweetest girl but now she has the manners to match! They treated her like family while she was there and I look forward to the endless opportunities and memories we now have with Lilo thanks to Buck’s!
Excellent specialist

There aren’t enough words in the world to describe how heavenly sent the staff at Buck’s are! The time, commitment, and passion they put into the dogs that come through their programs is remarkable. They even train husbands! (Just joking! Would be unfair to the staff!) Seriously though, they rock. Anytime I had questions or concerns, Stephanie or one of the staff members were ready to assist me. I was hesitant about board and train, as I had a horrendous experience before with one of my other pups. Stephanie picked up on my nerves on our very FIRST phone call (over 2 hours long, bless her heart BTW) and personally extended an invitation for me to come view her farm prior to committing. Around 2 minutes after talking to her and Jax, my guard instantly fell down. I realised that they were massive animal lovers who were there to help dogs succeed. They took care of the dogs like they were family members. Mellow melted like butter with Stephanie and Shelby as well. If I could go back in time, I would do it all over again without any hesitations! I would have brought my other pup there for their board and train program as well! I’m so glad and thankful that they were able to restore my faith in dog trainers again and I could sleep peacefully each night knowing that Mellow was being cared for and loved. Thank you Buck’s for giving me the most wonderful pup in return. Mellow also wants to thank you for helping her communicate her needs to her dad! I will be sending anyone that asks for dog trainer recommendations, your way!
