Thank you SamIvy!! Before I contacted you I was having issues with a dog that would not follow boundaries. I tried everything from watching YouTube videos, cookies and my own experience from my last dogs training. After the first session I noticed a huge difference. Now that I'm at my last session, I have a completely different dog. She's no longer testing boundaries or chasing her cat mates. A huge shout out to our coach Hollie for the support and guidance. She would also text during the in between sessions to check up on how Bree was responding and give more tips if needed. She is a fabulous coach. Thank you to SamIvy and Hollie!!

We’ve been working with SamIvy for virtual dog training, and our trainer Hollie has been absolutely incredible. Even though the sessions are online, she has been so hands-on, supportive, and attentive throughout the entire process.
Hollie is the best and we honestly could not thank her enough for her help! She has helped us bring structure into our home with training techniques and advice, and our 3 year old French bulldog, Obi, has responded amazingly well, even with his stubborn personality! We’ve already seen so much progress in his behavior, and it’s been such a relief to finally feel confident and consistent in our training approach.
We’re very thankful for this experience and for Hollie! For anyone who is willing to put in the work, I highly recommend reaching out to SamIvy. It’s truly been worth it for our family and for our Obi.

My experience is exactly as I hoped. I specifically deal with Holly and she is great. She is advising me on how to train my dog which was exactly what I had hoped. The transformation in a few short weeks is amazing. Highly recommended.

It is with sincere gratitude we write a recommendation for our AMAZING coach, Gina. When we decided to train our 2&1/2 year old mini-goldendoodle Ginger, again, we searched for a different approach.
From our first interaction with the SamIvy representative, Brett, we knew this training would be different. Brett’s first questions were what are your goals for training? Our puppy was leash pulling and barking as she would try to chase rabbits, squirrels and ibis on our walks. When we stopped to talk with friends, especially those with other dogs, she would jump at them and often bark.
Our coach, Gina introduced us to different tools and commands from the very first lesson, which we practiced, with her guidance, over 35 sessions on zoom. Gina also encouraged us to reinforce her lessons through daily 15-20 minutes sessions. After a few early sessions and our commitment to the SamIvy model, we discovered Ginger loved to learn and her behavior was transformational. Our neighbors commented on how calm her behavior had become. We can’t say enough about how well Gina coached us to become better dog parents!
We loved the flexibility of the on-line training where we could be anywhere for her lessons, maintain the continuity of her training and expose Ginger to many environments including the market, stores, the airport and an Alzheimer Unit.
Ginger is now trained to the level of a service dog, and we are incredibly thankful to Gina and the SamIvy Team. We will miss our twice-weekly sessions with Gina but know that she is just a phone call away.
We found our experience to be extraordinary and highly recommend SamIvy for whatever training needs you need.
With much gratitude,
Connie, Andras & Ginger
THANK YOU, GINA (& Dunkin)
