This training program was a great start to training our puppy to be a great family dog. The format was new to me, since it is all virtual. However, the concept that our dog, Buster, now responds to me instead of the trainer is magical! We had Holli and she was fantastic! Her dog Brody is a big help too!

I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with the recent Zoom training session we had with Christian. Initially, I was quite hesitant about doing training virtually, without any in-person visits. However, I couldn't have been more wrong about this amazing idea and experience. The training session turned out to be absolutely fantastic, and I am thrilled with how it went. Christian was phenomenal in handling our two stubborn Pitbull's. We have a 4-year-old Staffy who, at the beginning, would walk us instead of us walking him. This was a significant issue for us because we love taking walks with our children, but it wasn't a pleasurable experience when we had to constantly fight to keep his strength at bay. Additionally, we have a 5-month-old Staffy puppy who needed all kinds of training. In the end, our 5-month-old baby can do everything we set her to do. Then my 4-year-old not only walks next to us with zero pulling, but he also obtained other skills I didn’t think we could do because he was too old. Christian not only met our expectations but also exceeded them by far. He knocked it out of the park! The training provided by Christian and SamIvy was exceptional, and they gave us the tools to continue training our dogs for years to come. Our two young kids also benefited from the training, learning how to better interact with our dogs and people. Overall, I am incredibly grateful for the excellent training and support we received. Thank you, Christian and SamIvy, for making this a wonderful and transformative experience for our family.

It has been a great experience working with Holli. She is thorough, positive, and supportive and gives verbal and visual feedback throughout each session. She checks in frequently between sessions and provides reviews and links to additional videos.
Holli is firm but kind when training my unpredictable chiweenie. Joey has learned quickly, and I think I will be able to maintain her current level of behavior. I’m glad I found Sam Ivey and Holli.

My dog Louie and I had the pleasure of working with Ryann during our online sessions. When I first got Louie, he was a very anxious and sensitive dog. Overtime he did very well in obedience classes and gained a lot of confidence with positive reinforcement training, however he began to develop bad social behavior (lunging and barking at anyone and everything) around our apartment complex, and even tried to bite my roommate.
Ryann understood that Louie was a sensitive and anxious dog and really helped me learn how to correct unacceptable behavior in a way that actually boosted his confidence and made him much calmer. For me, she helped me find the missing component to our training practices and it has made a huge difference in both of us. He also has improved so much with kennel time and gets along very well with my roommate now. Thank you Ryann and Samivy for your help!
