Adrienne Krouse
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!

So, our four year old half pit bull, half hound started getting aggressive with the family after a year or more of no problems. Though he caused no permanent damage we couldn’t help but feel that the situation was escalating and began to think about whether we’d have to euthanize him. Luckily we found Sam Ivy. It’s not magic. It’s no panacea. But, if you follow the training and stick to it, it can bring your aggressive dog to heel. In our case the training saved our dog. He’s still got some problems but now WE have the tools to deal with them. Our trainer, Nate, was there for us when there were rough patches and he was always willing to talk us through anything.
