From the moment I enrolled my seemingly hyperactive pup in Sam Ivy's training program, I had my doubts. I felt like I had just tossed a hefty sum into the wind, hoping for a miracle cure for what I thought was my dog's ADHD-like behavior. Little did I know, this decision would be one of the best investments I've made for both my furry friend and me. Sam Ivy himself set the tone for the journey during our initial consultation, generously spending two hours patiently guiding me through the program and easing my anxieties about training concepts. His reassurance was a lifeline when I felt utterly lost and worthless in my attempts to train my dog. After reading rave reviews about Holli, I specifically requested her as our trainer. She promptly reached out to schedule our sessions, and from that moment on, our progress soared. Now, as we near the end of our 12-session program, I'm astounded by the transformation in my pup. Thanks to Holli's expert guidance, my furry companion has grasped boundaries, making our daily interactions smoother and more enjoyable. Even my reluctance for crate training dissolved as I witnessed my dog not only embrace his crate but genuinely enjoy spending time there. Holli's patience, kindness, and unwavering support have been invaluable throughout this journey. I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked wth her and hope our paths cross again, perhaps in an off-leash class with my newly well-behaved companion. If I were to offer a critique, it would be regarding the absence of a collar clip in the training kit provided by Sam Ivy. While it's a small expense, approximately $15 on Amazon, it felt like an unnecessary additional cost, especially considering the investment already made in the program. In retrospect, my skepticism about the program and its cost seemed justified. Yet, Sam's professionalism and genuine care, coupled with Holli's expertise, turned what I considered a gamble into a wise investment. Through Sam Ivy's program, I've not only witnessed a remarkable improvement in my dog's behavior but also deepened my understanding of him, strengthening our bond immeasurably.
