Five-Star Review for Sam Ivy and Our Incredible Trainer, Holli
We cannot say enough great things about our experience with Sam Ivy Dog Training and especially our exceptional trainer, Holli. From the very first session, Holli impressed us with her deep knowledge of canine behavior, her clear and structured training approach, and her genuine passion for helping both dogs and their owners succeed.
Holli is not only highly skilled and professional—she’s also incredibly hands-on and intuitive. She took the time to truly understand our dog’s unique personality and challenges, and she tailored each session to meet our specific goals. Her ability to communicate complex training techniques in a simple, approachable way made the process smooth and enjoyable for everyone involved.
Thanks to Holli, we saw real, lasting results in a matter of weeks. Our dog is now more confident, better behaved, and happier—and so are we! Her calm, confident demeanor and consistent follow-through made all the difference. She is a true expert in her field, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the success of every dog and owner she works with.
If you’re looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly outstanding at what she does, ask for Holli at Sam Ivy—you won’t be disappointed!

I don’t usually leave reviews, but considering this six week training saved my sanity, I feel obligated to share my experience with others. The day I reached out I was on the verge of flying my puppy back to where he came from. Fortunately I got assigned the best trainer I could have asked for, Holli. She didn’t just train my dogs, she trained me and gave me all the tools I needed in order to take control and calm the constant noise and chaos my pets were causing. Holli made sure each lesson was understood and even reached out between sessions to ensure that progress was being made. I would absolutely recommend Samlvy to others seeking training for their pets.

We adopted two 3 year old little mutts. One was very shy and frightened and the other was aggressive and snapped at strangers and other dogs. It was difficult walking them and introducing them to new people or dogs. Nate trained us to train our dogs to respect us and stop being aggressive. There was a huge turnaround in their behaviour. We still have to use some of the tools to reinforce their training but we know what to do and I think they feel more secure because they understand what we want. They're not perfect but we are so happy with the change in them. I highly recommend this training .

Gina was the trainer for our little King Charles Spaniel, Purdy. Gina was very good with us - patient, flexible with our schedule, and quite informative about how a dog's brain works. We feel very fortunate to have had Gina as our trainer.
