Stacey, the founder of Buddy’s Dog School, Inc., has a lifelong passion for animals, especially dogs. The school combines behavior and obedience training to create balanced dogs and achieve fast results. They use simple techniques for both corrections and praise, enabling quick learning and immediate improvement. Their methods are effective for dogs of all ages, breeds, and backgrounds, without relying on treats. Owners are actively involved in the training process and receive support to maintain training for their dog’s lifetime.

Buddy’s Dog School emphasizes teaching the psychology of dogs and their training philosophy, focusing on behavior first to address important manners. They teach dogs verbal language to build a foundation for off-leash reliability from the first class. The business also operates a pet supply store offering premium food (frozen raw, natural kibble, canned), bones, toys, beds, and quality training tools. They are veteran-owned and offer military discounts on any training program.

Accomplishments

Stacey, the founder, developed a love for animals from a young age. She began training her Border Collie, Buddy, at age 11 in late 2002, competing in AKC, ASCA, and UKC obedience trials across Oklahoma and Texas, earning titles through the highest levels. She also volunteered in the dog obedience world and shadowed at a vet clinic.

In 2007, Stacey trained her Australian Shepherd, Crush, who earned her first obedience title in less than two months and qualified for Top Ten nationals. They went on to earn titles in the Open and Utility classes in AKC and ASCA, placing 6th in the nation at ASCA nationals in 2008. During these years, Stacey gained respect from fellow trainers and assisted in teaching classes. After graduating high school in 2010, she enlisted in the Marines for four years, providing training classes for foster dogs in Okinawa and working under a seasoned trainer in Colorado. In 2015, Stacey established Buddy’s Dog School in Oklahoma, in memory of her first dog.
