When I reached out to SamIvy I was desperate. Our dog Riley was having aggression issues. In a matter of about 6 weeks he lunged to bite 3 different family members. Family members that lived with us and or have visited on occasions. He was becoming very territorial of me and my fiancé. So much so I was afraid if we didn’t seek help we would lose our fur baby. So I reached out and was immediately paired with our trainer Holli. I can’t express enough how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to work with her and get the help we desperately needed. I quickly learned Riley wasn’t the problem. We were. We didn’t set boundaries. And actually Riley was the leader of our pack when we must be that leader. Within 3 weeks we saw a huge difference in Riley. He started to understand boundaries along with direction. Riley today is not the same dog when we first started this program. I am forever grateful to Holli for her patience, clear explanation and her passion to help other fur parents become the best parent we can be. If your thinking of signing up with SamIvy’s team don’t think twice. You will not regret it. I can’t wait for when we are able to start off leash training. Thank you Holli!

My entire experience with this team has been amazing! Sam personally did my free one hour consultation and has been available to text and chat with me during the process. Holli is exactly what I needed. She told me from the beginning she was here to support my journey with my 3 dogs. Each dog has very different personalities and behaviors. Holli zoned in to target the best training methods to work with each of them and me! At the end of the day Holli provided all the tools, encouragement and discipline to work with my dogs now it’s up to me to continue the work. Sam and Holli assured me they are here for me in the future should I have questions or concerns. I would highly recommend them to any dog parent experiencing any issues in their home.

I did post a review before our training ended and it was excellent, but I also did say that I would follow up when we finished.
Again, this is the best training program I’ve ever used. I tried numerous obedience trainers coming to my house, as well as going to group sessions, reading many dog training books, and nothing compares to the results I got here - wow! I cannot say enough good things about my experience. This training program 100% works!!!!
My instructor Holli was very thorough with every instruction and made sure I always understood all training procedures completely. She was always available if I had a question and I could always tell she loved my dogs and really wanted to help me be successful. I feel like I can take my dogs anywhere with me now, and they will be obedient and listen to me, what freedom!
My one dog was reactive toward other dogs, and now that no longer happens. I have two large dogs and having them both under control is a dream come true.
I highly highly highly recommend Holli and Sam Ivy K-9 Consultants! Thank you for making me the best dog boss ever. ❤️❤️

Editing - everything I mentioned below is true, but the advertised support after training is non-existent. Once you are done paying the exorbitant fee, the support stops.
This training course was actually our last chance at "fixing" one of our dogs, I wish we had chosen this first. I was very skeptical in the beginning and after the second session I knew our trainer Gina Avitabile was going to be able to help us train our dog. After trying countless other programs and trainers, Sam Ivy K9 Consultants was the only one successful in bringing peace back to our pack and our home. I highly recommend this program (and Gina!) to all dog owners.
