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.

As a dog mom of an "old soul dog" (I know you tiktok peeps know what I am talking about) and also my best current title of a reactive dog mom with a humble heart I can say SamIvy and Gina have become the extra set of angels my family needed. We reached out to SamIvy after the multiple incidents with our reactive dog Kobe. In the first 2 sessions we started seeing a difference, and we are currently at our 8 sessions and it has been a relief, joy and overall happiness to see Kobe become an all star. The program in itself has helped us understand how dogs communicate, create manners, improve his confidence (and ours) and improve his obedience. If you are ever in the situation, my family and I know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I will recommend SamIvy 10/10 with no hesitation, if/buts or ands. It has been a pleasure to work alongside Gina and we are so excited to continue to learn more tools to help Kobe (2 year old) and of course our old soul Kylo (4 year old). "Thank you Gina for all the cool tricks you taught my parents and now I am living my best life" - Kylo & Kobe.

We cannot say enough about Holli, our coach and trainer, with Sam Ivy. We have a very lovable (and very big) bernedoodle. We recently moved across country and our buddy, Miloh, was having issues with aggression and protecting his new territory. We desperately needed help to correct this new behavior and Holli was a lifesaver! We were skeptical as to how a dog training program over zoom would be effective but after a short time with Holli we understood. She worked with my husband and me and taught us how to train Miloh. We are now the alphas in our house and Miloh is much more enjoyable to be around. Holli showed us so much care, compassion and grace throughout our 3 month program! We wouldn’t be where we are today with Miloh if it wasn’t for her. It is obvious she loves dogs, her job and helping people! Thank you Holli, for everything!
