Board & Train Program
Professional Board and Train tailored to your dog's needs. Your dog lives, eats, and trains with us on our 18-acre farm. Drop off a dog, pick up a transformed companion.
Buck's Virginia has the right training option for your dog
Dog Training in Suffolk and surrounding areas. We don't just train dogs, we transform them — and the Board and Train program is where the deepest transformations happen.
Multiple structured training sessions every day. Sleep and meals in a clean, supervised environment. Pack walks, off-leash runs, and dog sports exposure on 18 acres. The dog leaves home patterns behind and learns new ones, away from the distractions that broke training the first time.
Balanced training built around your dog's specific case. We assess on day one, then layer obedience, behavior modification, and real-world generalization across the program. Our team rotates so your dog learns to respond to multiple handlers — not just one.
Every effective tool, used humanely — slip lead, prong, e-collar, treats, food, structure. We explain every choice on the consult.
CATCH CCDT, AKC CGC Evaluator, Pet First Aid, NePoPo® Gold School graduates. Continuous professional development.
Multiple credentials across the team plus a Service Dog Coordinator for ADA-compliant work.
Trusted across Suffolk, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, and Franklin.
1-week, 2-week, 3-week, and Puppy 2-week — picked on the consult based on your dog's case, not on which one we want to sell.
Calm, reliable, off-leash dogs. We do not stop until the goals we agreed on at drop-off are met.
Walking trails, frisbee field, nosework area, agility and games yard, saltwater swimming pool — your dog moves and learns.

Four tiers: 1-week Foundational, 2-week Transformational, 3-week Aggression/Behavior Modification, and 2-week Puppy. We recommend the right tier on the free consult call.
Yes. The 3-week Aggression/Behavior Modification tier is built for severe reactivity, aggression, and separation anxiety. Bite history must be disclosed in writing on the program agreement.
You see daily updates in a private chat throughout the program. The hand-over lesson at the end is where you see the transformation in person. Sustained results require you to apply the methodology we transfer at go-home — refreshers exist for the inevitable handler-drift moments.
Yes. The Puppy 2-Week B&T is residential and covers a foundation other puppy programs cannot build at home. For non-residential puppy work, see our Puppy Training program.
