Sam Ivy has been a potential life saver for my partner, myself, and our 95lbs pitbull mix, Thor. After having moved recently, Thor started getting possessive of the couch, growling, and snapping at me. We were getting to the point of fear in which if this escalated further, and Thor bit me, we would have had to give him up since he could do a lot of damage as an aggressive dog. I had also been afraid to walk him on leash on my own given his size and strength nearly pulling me off my feet as he reacted to other dogs. Since starting with Sam Ivy, I can now confidently walk him without issues, he does not pull on leash, hardly ever reacts to other dogs, and knows his place in the house with no more aggression or fear on either side. All the issues I had faced have been resolved even with the setbacks of Thor needing surgery and moving apartments halfway through training. No more fear in this house!

Cannot say enough about how happy and grateful we were for this company and their amazing trainers! We were matched up with Maribel, who was so personable and fun to work with ever week. She has such a great ability articulate via video and she’s full of examples that really helped out! She definitely knows her stuff! One of her best qualities would have to be, when asked questions that could possibly be a personal preference… she first and foremost provides a “whatever you’d prefer” or “if that’s what you’d like” but then follows up with any risks that could come with that decision. Essentially, she allows us to decide on how we move forward—such a wonderful trait for a trainer to have in this business. I will say though, almost always, after hearing her explanations, we always ended up doing things the way she felt was best. She was really such a great match for us! I actually looked forward to meeting with her every week, she’s so happy and she’s got the most adorable smile We are so happy with Chapman’s success, we have been recommending Sam Ivy to all our doggie parents! Chapman is such a better dog because of this training! We’re definitely going to miss Maribel’s happy smile and wave goodbye every week!!

The moment we brought home our 2 pocket bully pups we knew that sadly due to their breed they would be misunderstood and receive nothing but negative stereotypes.So, as a family we wanted to ensure they received the best training possible to assist them with breaking those stigmas. After much research we found Sam Ivy. We decided to go with the advance off leash training package and we where assigned our trainer Holli. We couldn’t be more thrilled with our decision and our training . We love how personal and informative Holli makes training sessions. We feel empowered and thus it gives us the capability to execute properly. We’re only halfway through our package and you can absolutely tell our sweet girls have received puppy and obedience training. On walks or any outside visits we receive nothing but compliments on how well behaved and obedient they are. We have no issues with poor behavior at home and even with still being puppies they make great choices! All of this has been made possible thanks to Sam Ivy and Holli. If you are serious about proper training for your dog and household they are the folks to call. The skills you learn last a lifetime.
PS they also accommodate schedules for busy families ( like ours :) )

We adopted at 10 year old dog with behavioral issues. We didn't want to give up on her and contacted Sam Ivy. Gina our trainer was more than we could have ask for . She helped us understand Didi and how to handle her out burst. We learned so much from Gina about resource guarding and teaching boundaries. We now have the sweetest senior doggo ever! I would highly recommend this program to anyone for any age dog
