When Sam Ivy takes you and your dog on as clients, they really commit. I've been training my dog with them since last summer, and they've really been there for me through every victory, every setback, everything. They've kept my spirits up when I feel hopeless about a problem we're having, and then they guide me through to find the solution. The balanced training tools and methods we've learned have brought us leaps and bounds forward in my dog's behavior as well as our bond. Their Zoom sessions are really convenient and effective, and those sessions are recorded and uploaded for reference later. Clients are provided a tripod and encouraged to film their practice sessions so the trainers can give feedback. Sessions are one-on-one so that the trainer can really focus on your dog and your needs. I can't recommend them enough.

Our dog Bandit has food aggression issues and resource guarded certain items. He also played a vicious game of grabbing items and playing keep away. Our trainer Miguel worked with us and provided us with the tools to curb the aggression and teach Bandit how to respect us as the pack leaders. I admire Miguel's knowledge of dogs and his understanding of their primal habits. Miguel taught us how to get into the mindset of a dog and become the pack leader. Within days and over the course of our training, Bandit transitioned into a different dog. He became more submissive and obedient. But frankly, the real training occurred with us humans. We are likely to enroll Bandit in the off leash training once we master the entry level obedience and aggression. Miguel, you are the best my friend! Thank you!

I was paired with Holli as my trainer and can I just say WOW!!! She has completely reshaped my home in a matter of weeks. I noticed a difference with my boys instantly. I have a pit bull and a Belgian malinios who were reactive to each other, and even to men. They had absolutely no leash manners, I struggled every day doing simple tasks with them. They couldn’t even be on opposite sides of doors without reacting to each other. My dogs are able to coexist in the same room in their designated spots no issues, I’m able to walk them without reactivity to men, and we are even working on service dog training. Holli is by far the best trainer we could have gotten and I will recommend her through and through to anyone that asks. She is down to earth, understanding, blunt, and will hold YOU, and your dogs accountable when needed. I swear by samivy and I swear by Holli !! ❤️

Gina (trainer at Sam Ivy) is the absolute best & has made our lives so much less stressful with her guidance and support in re-training our dachshund, Duke. He had serious aggression issues and worked his way through 3 other trainers with little behavioral change. The Sam Ivy method took a time and energy commitment, and was so worth it. Duke is much less reactive and aggressive toward others- so much so, we were able to have him at our wedding (even taking some pics off leash!). We can walk him without being fearful of when he will go after an adult, kid, or other dog. Cannot speak highly enough of Gina & Sam Ivy!
