I grew up with dogs but I just got my first pup on my own; he's a chill boy for the most part but had some behaviors that needed addressing , mostly stemming from being in a new home and being over simulated and nervy in a new place. He was terrible on his leash ( going down stairs was especially a challenge of not tripping over him) and had a bad habit of jumping up and being mouthy when excited ( I got the scratches to show for one time he got me midjump). I thought it best to hire a trainer now and found Sam Ivy in a Google search. It was a great investment in my new life as a pet owner- Olivia was great and helped me and Becket ( my rather nervy German Shepard and Lab Mix) so much. she helped me see what Becket needed, which was mostly missing mental stimulation and encouragement. Becket is a much more confident dog and I'm a much more confident owner thanks to her help!

Had an AMAZING experience with Sam Ivy. I came to Sam Ivy with an 8 week old puppy unsure of the best way to train him and ensure he doesn't pick up any bad habits along the way. Throughout the 12 week program, as he grew older and started to show his personality (both good and bad) we were able to correct any bad tendencies before they became a problem. I now have a PERFECT puppy who listens and is confident in any situation as he looks to me for guidance.

Sam Ivy training has helped us tremendously with our Jack Russell. Holli and her dog, Brody, were extremely helpful and patient. Before the training, our pup was out of control, causing stress in our household. After 12 sessions, we now have a much better dog, a happier dog, and we are so pleased with the results. We highly recommend Sam Ivy and Holli.

My German shepherd and I had a wonderful experience with our trainer Freddy. Before training my dog was anxious, reactive, and I had no idea how to curb her energy in a productive and safe way. With the help of the sam ivy program and Freddy's calm and clear instructions, I was able to completely transform her into an obedient and confident dog that I'm now able to take out in public places with ease.
Freddy was very encouraging and helpful, especially in the difficult and frustrating moments when we first started out, and that made all the difference. My dog turned out to be a quick learner with the practice and consistency of the training and I couldn't be happier. I definitely recommend the program to anyone that is scared and frustrated and worries that their sweet dog is misunderstood just because it is reactive. My girl is a sweet and happy pup and now the rest of the world can see that too
