I would highly recommend Team SamIvy! Gina was awesome to work with! She really invested her time and always gave her best to help us with our Frenchie.

I had rescued a dog thinking that with a lot of love and patience she would become the dog I wanted her to be. But in-spite my efforts, she was growing dog and people reactive. I founds my self starting to dread taking her for walks and doing things with her. When I contacted Sam Ivy I was a skeptical but I honestly was running out of options. Today I have a different dog. She has grown in confidence, I can literally take her anywhere and trust she is going to behave and not be reactive. She still reacts to some dogs but not to a level of aggression. She listens and follows commands. I have come to understand my dog and learned how to provide the environment she needs to thrive. I hav e also seen how my dog has come to trust me, which I believe is important with anxious rescues. I cant thank Sam Ivy enough but especially Gina. Gina has been my trainer throughout the process and I could not have asked for someone more caring and understanding. She is truly a rockstar and I am thankful beyond words for the results she has delivered. I tried other obedience courses before, but Gina and Sam Ivy are truly next level. Thank you both!

Where do I begin? This has been an incredible experience from the consultation with Sam to the training sessions with Holli. I rescued my adorable dog Hazel in January of 2024. Hazel was an absolute angel with an insatiable hunger for my furniture. Additionally, Hazel had separation anxiety from me (I couldn't really blame her…I’m pretty fun ). In all seriousness, the training was worth the money. I learned so many things that have been helpful including proper leash handling, learning crate/place and practicing obedience commands. Hazel is now a rockstar on the leash and no longer has separation anxiety from me when I leave the house. I just want to say a few things about Holli. Holli is the best trainer you could ask for. She knows her stuff, has a great personality and is super patient. I loved that she didn’t make things overly complicated—I was able to take what she said and practice on my own between sessions. Holli also checked in on me throughout the week to see how training was going and was available to answer any questions I had. You will be so lucky if you are assigned Holli as your trainer-I’m going to miss having sessions with her each week! Thank you Holli and Sam Ivy! One more thing…. Here are some pics of my sweet rescue Hazel…. Please consider adopting a Pittie or Pittie Mix… they will fill your heart with so much ❤️

We are so grateful for Holli! She was amazing from the start to the very end. She guided us on exactly how to work with our Dalmatian Zuki as she has always been very insecure and skidding when she’s around kids or when there is, too much activity going on. She started reacting aggressively with our other dog Piper and constantly was on the lookout to pick a fight. We previously had hired a trainer but unfortunately he only focused on obedience trainkng. With the knowledge we got from Holli we learned it’s all about guidance and consistency on making Zuki feel secure and correcting her when and as necessary.
We already see a change in Zuki in the short amount of time we had for training and feel confident that if we continue the same steps she will feel secure and will know how to react accordingly. THANK YOU HOLLI!
