Nick is an incredibly talented and patient trainer. He helped us turn our very excitable, reactive dog, Ollie, into an obedient, calm dog who actually listens to us! Nick was always available via phone calls and texts during his days off, and he truly cared about our progress. He never failed to check in after a session and always gave immediate, actionable feedback. I have to admit that I was skeptical that Ollie could be trained as he is almost 4-years-old, but this program truly works! I feel the utmost confidence that Nick provided us with the knowledge and tools to continue our work with Ollie and any dogs we may have in the future.

We have been working with our trainer through Sam & Ivy to address our dog’s reactivity and ensure he interacts with other dogs in a safe, non-dominant way. The training has also reinforced that we’re the ones leading the pack. Each session has been informative and effective—we’re seeing a noticeable transformation. Our dog is calmer, more responsive, and much easier to manage. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic experience with SamIvy's dog training program! The training philosophy is clear, effective, and easy to understand—it really emphasizes how important routine is to long-term success. We especially loved how the program empowers owners rather than just focusing on the dog. The weekly meetings helped keep us on track and accountable, and we never felt rushed or overwhelmed.
Our trainer, Nick, was absolutely wonderful. He guided us through each new step with patience and clarity, always providing practical real-world examples and fun training games that helped strengthen the trust and bond between us and our dog. His supportive and encouraging approach made the whole process enjoyable and incredibly rewarding.
Highly recommend SamIvy and Nick to anyone looking for a thoughtful, structured, and empowering way to train their dog!

We cannot say enough great things about out experience with Sam Ivy Dog Training and especially our exceptional training, HOLLI. From the very first session, Holli impressed us with her deep knowledge of canine behavior, her clean and structures training approach, and her genuine passion for helping both the dog and their owners success.
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 Holli and Sam Ivy. We saw real, lasting results in a matter of weeks. Adding on the service training at the end was like the cherry on top of the cake. Our dog is more confident, better behaved, and happier. SO are WE!!!! Her calm, confident demeanor and consistent follow through made all the difference. She is a true gem and an expert in her field. It is clear as day she genuinely cares about the success of every dog and owners she works with.
So happy to be apart of our journey and would recommend her to anyone that asks.
