I absolutely love this training program! I have been doing basic obedience training and training service dogs for over 3 years now.
I have never done any aggressive behavioral modification training. So when I got a 12 week old puppy with hopes of training him to be a search and rescue dog. To find out he had aggression towards dogs, put me in a panic!
After scrolling through TikTok (as one does) I came across Sam Ivy K9!
I scheduled a consultation and Sam assured me that I was not alone and that everything was going to be okay.
The same week I started training with Nate and while for me, the training never ends, but at the end of the training program with Nate I can say I have a wonderfully behaved and intelligent dog.
My pup went from reacting to any dog way down the street, to sharing the back seat and small trailer with his new dog best friend.
Thank you to the Sam Ivy K9 team!
To anyone who’s concerned, lost, frustrated, hopeless, or even just considering giving their dog away, please, set up a consultation with this team. They’ll have your back

I am so happy that we hired Sam Ivy Consultants to help us with obedience training for our one year old golden doodle. He was becoming a handful and our family was becoming increasingly frustrated. We attributed a lot to normal puppy behavior, but it was clear that some personality traits and bad manners were only getting worse. Stealing food, counter surfing, jumping on guests, barking at other dogs, eating toys and socks, and on and on. We began to feel that his training required a more formal approach than my previous DIY training. Sam Ivy explained the process thoroughly, listened to my long list of issues, and assured me that his training method would work. Gina was our trainer and she was wonderful. The Sam Ivy method WORKS. Before getting started with straight forward obedience, Gina helped me address every single one of our dog's bad habits. She found a solution for every issue and we saw progress towards better behavior in the very first week. After about two months, the changes have been drastic. The instructions were all clear, with homework to be done between zoom sessions. The time commitment was well worth it and I'm so happy that we hired Sam Ivy. Gina was a fantastic fit for our family and sweet dog. She really helped us bring out the best in him, and we are enjoying his company so much more as a result.

I called Sam Ivy looking for hope for my 5 year German Shepherd male! My German Shepherd was having aggression issues with other dogs.
We took the class with Holli,which she is a wonderful trainer! My dog, is definitely doing great! It's nice when others also recognize the change!
I would definitely recommend this training for anyone!
Thank you so much, Holli and Sam Ivy

My wife and I were at our wit's end with our new rescue, Bailey. She is a great dog but had issues with authority and excessing chewing. We heard about Sam Ivy through a friend. They had great success with the Proper Pack Behavior program and suggested we try it. We got in touch with Sam Ivy himself and discussed the issues we were facing with Bailey. After speaking with him, we decided to try the Proper Pack Behavior program. We worked with Holli, and she was an excellent trainer! All of our sessions were done via Zoom, and we have access to all of the training session recordings. The difference after the 3 weeks (6 sessions) was night and day! Bailey now walks on the leash without issue, eats on a regular schedule, has little to no issues with authority, and is fully Spot trained. We still have some issues with chewing from time to time, but overall, this program was quintessential to our (and Bailey's) success. If you are having trouble with your pup, look no further than Sam Ivy's courses. Oh, and definitely ask for Holli, she was awesome!
