We came to Sam Ivy after years of fights between my boyfriend and myself because my mini Goldendoodle, Breesy, was just constantly barking. We have alot of activity in our house with everyone having different schedules, doors constantly opening at all hours of the day. Sleep was being lost. My poor dog was always "on." He never relaxed. It was coming up more and more that he was a nuissance and needed to leave. Not an option in my mind. So, out of desperation I hired Sam Ivy, and based on past reviews I requested Holli. What a blessing! She is all about your dog. In one class I saw a difference in my Breesy. Let's be honest, These trainings are for the humans. She was able to train my 14 yr old son and I to become the alphas. When we were able to show Breesy he was able be a dog and not a security guard he was able to rest. Like his poodle high anxiety loosened up day by day. Barking is now a non issue. My boyfriend compliments my son and I on how well we do with Breesy now. And that is all due to Holli in my opinion. She is patient, she does not allow you to get bogged down in the negativity of everyone else, and she keeps it real. If you listen to Holli and put in the work in between classes you will have your issues resolved.
