My rambunctious little terrier pound puppy really needed to learn some control over his behaviors, and my training with SamIvy was great. Virtual training was a very convenient option for me, they provide the collars, leash, and tripod for the video setup, and my trainer, Gina, was awesome.
He’s learned skills that frankly I thought would be impossible (like Spot training - so useful!) and has improved on many of the destructive puppy things that puppies do.
They say you’re not really training the dog, you’re training the human, and I feel like I now know how to continue with things that still need some work or to address anything new that arises. And I can still message Gina anytime. Plus, training was a lot of fun!

Hello my name is Adrienne and I have 3 female dogs. Each one with their own personality and were a challenge. First let me start off by saying that when I first had a video call with Sam I was sold after 10 minutes.
All my dogs were adopted.
My dogs had prior training where they went away for 2 weeks. That was a waste of money.
Now Gina the dog trainer who trained me so I could train my dog was fabulous. Each session we worked with each dog. After the first session I saw a difference. Jackie no longer uses wee wee pads. She is 14. She is a Chihuahua Jack Russle mix.
Buffy the first dog had issues listening.
Lexi loved to roll when I would walk her.
They each had a few more issues.
I was trained so I could train my girls.
Everyday sticking to the training them . For example spot- having them sit and stay until I said “ok”.
Letting them know it’s ok now to walk outside after I gave the command to go.
Reminding them that no means no. Sometimes I had to put them in the cage and they learned that that’s where they go when they didn’t listen.
Both people and dogs are not perfect sometimes they might act up but again going back to repetition and consistency.
Thank you Sam Ivy
Thank you Gina

Holli is exceptional! I'm grateful she helped me learn how to train my dogs. She truly loves dogs and listens to my concerns. Holli always makes sure to respond whenever I have questions, so I truly appreciate it. It gives me peace of mind knowing that she cares just as much as I do.

Ohhh is SamIvy worth every penny!! I loved our trainer Holli Kepschull & her famous assistant, Brodie! I have a 1 year old American Bully and a 6 year old mixed fur baby. My 6 yr old was super reactive to everything and my 1 yr old picked up all her bad habits along with excessive leash pulling. My bully had recently been pumping his chest around the house lately and I knew then and there I needed to make sure I had a complete handle on his behavior and strict boundaries since we are a multi dog home and he is so much bigger than my oldest.
Holli was extremely knowledgeable, encouraging, patient and understanding within the whole process! She was there whenever I needed some extra advice outside of our scheduled training and always kept that door open if I needed her. I am heading into my final week and I see massive improvements in both pups for example no more excessive leash pulling and not nearly as reactive as they use to be. Holli had definitely helped build a more solid connection between my dogs and I as they look to me for direction and guidance.
All in all, Holli and SamIvy will have you and your pups walking out the house feeling extremely confident that everything is under control. I would highly recommend Holli & SamIvy to others.
Thank you Holli for everything!
