Buck Wild Dog Training

Buck wild is the only place I trust to care for my dogs! This family run business doesn’t only love your dogs like they are their own, but they ensure your dog’s safety in a way that no large boarding facility can do! While I’ve only used Buck Wild for boarding, I’ve seen the impact of their training programs. Anyone would be hard press to find another trainer that is on the same level as Victoria. You may see their prices and think they are a little high, but you are paying for the safety and care of your fur babies. It is worth every penny! I cannot recommend Buck Wild enough for any of your dog needs!

Victoria trained my second service dog after both he and I were under socialized due to Covid - she has taught us so much about communicating with our dogs, and training, and even socializing so as to start them off on the right foot. My dogs also love boarding with her on the rare occasion we have to travel without them and look forward to running and playing all over their giant property. We trust her so much she's about to start working with our second dog any day now.

Victoria and her crew are the best! She trained both our rescues, one specifically for fear based aggression and the other in a board and train. Our dachshund/beagle mix was becoming aggressive, particularly towards my husband when he returned from his duty station. Victoria takes a holistic approach and we switched his seizure meds, got his diet under control and worked on building up the relationship between him and my husband and things are so much better! We also did a board and train for our new pittie mix who was scared of everything - she would only go outside to pee and then run back to the house. 5 weeks with Victoria and she’s a confident, brave girl who loves to sniff and explore the city now! Victoria was also very responsive with check ins and sent regular updates.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Buck Wild Dog Training and Victoria! From the very beginning, her kindness and genuine care set her apart. She takes the time to really get to know not just the dogs, but the people behind them, making you feel completely supported every step of the way. Victoria goes above and beyond in everything she does—whether it’s patiently explaining techniques, checking in to make sure progress is on track, or celebrating even the smallest wins with the same excitement as her clients. It’s obvious how much she loves animals, and that love shines through in the way she trains, encourages, and guides both pets and their owners. If you’re looking for someone who is compassionate, dedicated, and truly invested in helping your dog thrive, look no further than

I did the 4-week board and train program with Buck Wild Dog Training, and even just two weeks after the program ended, I’ve already seen a major difference in my dog’s behavior. To start, I had a consultation with Victoria at her facility so she could observe Bruce and understand the areas I wanted to improve. He’s always been very well-behaved with solid obedience skills, which I've had previous trainers say is “good enough.” But Victoria picked up on the anxiousness and over-arousal that sometimes led to leash reactivity and poor dog-to-dog manners. After discussing my goals, Victoria recommended the 4-week board and train program, since they did not have to work on obedience, but rather to focus on behavior and emotional regulation. Throughout the four weeks, Victoria sent me regular
