Our experience with Sam Ivy's Consultants was very satisfying and a pleasure. It is just wonderful that their consultants come to you within the privacy of your home. Our consultant, Claudia, was an absolute joy to work with. Claudia was always very helpful, professional, courteous, and always had great determination in training our "Nutella". She taught us how to handle our puppy along with our being the "Alpha". Claudia not only offered her skills training in our home, but also trained at the dog park and shopping malls exposing our dog to different scenarios along with distractions. Claudia was always very flexible and willing to try everything we requested of her, including, helping myself with leash training using my walker. We were also challenged daily with picking up our 45lb dog and placing her up into the seat of our pickup truck, but with Claudia's training, Nutella now jumps right up onto the seat, fortunately saving my husband's back! It's truly amazing how far this training has taken us in such a short time. We are very, very satisfied and highly recommend Sam Ivy K9 Consultants for your dog training needs....you will not be disappointed!

I AM SO THRILLED WITH SAM IVY AND HOLLI!!! In September of 23, a friend of mine was trying to find a forever home for a stray dog she found in her neighborhood. The shelters near her were full and not accepting any dogs. My husband and I make the decision to give this sweet girl a home. The first month was going so good. My husband’s home is on a lake with a lot of property so Sandi, and our dog Flori, had the run of the place. In October, we go to my home in Florida for the winter and spring. That is when all the trouble started. I live in a residential area with lots of walkers, dog walkers and bike riders. Both dogs started barking non-stop! They took to jumping up on my end tables to look out the window, knocking over my lamps and everything in between. Walking them was a nightmare! They both would bark and lunge at other people and dogs. I bought anti bark devices on Amazon - didn’t work, tried harnesses - didn’t work, gentle leaders, pinch collar - nothing worked. It got so bad that Sandi pulled so hard to get to another dog that if it wasn’t for a couple of ladies that were walking by to help me, I would have fallen to the ground! I was ready to give Sandi to a shelter but when we are at home together she is a sweet, smart, snuggle bug. So, I was determined to find a training program for the three of us. I called a few local places but wasn’t feeling they would meet my needs. I started looking again and I saw Sam Ivy. Filled out the info and right away got a response. Sam set up a meet and greet Zoom meeting and I knew he understood my needs and had the right trainer in mind. Hello, Holli!! I’m so impressed with the progress I have made with training the dogs in just a couple of weeks!!! Holli had given me, not only the tools and instructions, but most of all, the confidence I needed to work with my “girls”. The dogs and I are much happier and I am so excited I can enjoy the outdoors walking and bike riding and go to the dog beach! THANK YOU SAM IVY AND HOLLI!

Our consultant Brad was very friendly and detailed in describing the training program and what it would entail trainer. Holli was extremely knowledgeable, professional and effective in helping us to teach our two Rottweiler mixes that we are the boss in the house! Plus, every session is recorded so we can always reference them in the future. Would highly recommend SamIvy for your dog training :)

We have two Standard Schnauzers, one was a puppy and a three years old. Both was being reactive to peoples aggression. We were in need of puppy love to be in control. Had an opportunity to meet Sam Ivy who insured us our high energy dogs could be trained. In addition, met our trainer Holli, who was very personable, and insured us if we were patient with the training of our puppies they would respond in an obedient way. Using positive reinforcement and specific training techniques, our dogs quickly transformed to confident and obedient dogs. We highly recommend Sam Ivy to anyone who has a dog in need of training.
