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.

SamIvy is an excellently executed program with wonderful trainers. We signed up our 2 dogs for various reasons including reactivity, recall, on leash walking, and more. By the time we ended our 12-session plan our trainer, Holli, had improved skills in all areas of focus. Holli was extremely knowledgeable, communicative, articulate, friendly, encouraging, and just an overall delight to work with! While we have to take a break between the initial training and the off-leash training, we will not hesitate to continue working with Holli! 5/5 would recommend for any unfavorable dog behaviors or for basic dog training - whatever your dog training needs.

My eight month old Golden Retriever puppy was out of control when a resident in my community suggested contacting Sam Ivy. Bingo! After a careful interview with me by Sam, he assigned HOLLI as my trainer … BINGO (!) a perfect pairing as my dog’s progress to date is more than had thought possible. Holli is an exceptional trainer, working with her is a dream, she loves dogs and knows her stuff. Would recommend Holli and Sam Ivy without hesitation.

This program has been absolutely amazing for not only my dog but myself. Gina has been a wonderful trainer and really has been patient with my dog! The Zoom sessions I will admit I was a bit skeptical at first but having Gina there in real time, being able to train in the comfort of our home has been a wonderful experience. My sweet boy is 9 years old and I truly thought he would be difficult to train ( can’t teach old dog new tricks….wrong). Bear has caught on to the training very well and has been able to retain all the commands he has been taught. I started this program 1) to help prepare Bear (and myself) for his first flight and 2) to help his barking. Being part terrier he can be quite yippy. This program has taken my good boy to a better boy! Highly recommend Sam Ivy (and Gina)!
