We have a 6 year old Lab service dog. He is very smart, learns tasks readily, and is well behaved. We started having behavioral issues: pulling when walking, window guarding, barking when we passed dogs in our car to name a few. We were overwhelmed when he started having trouble walking past certain breeds of other dogs. All these behaviors had been escalating after he and my husband had aggressive encounter with a pit bull on a walk and our pup was bit in another encounter with a Swiss mountain dog.
We reached out to Sam Ivy for help. We were assigned a trainer named Gina. She was a great tutor. The remote virtual session were wonderful. We had trained with trainers extensively for service dog training. We always experienced our pup working well with the trainer but taking much longer to learn when working afterwards with us. The remote concept puts you in charge of the training, being guided by the remote trainer. It was an excellent fit.
In less that 6 weeks, meeting twice a week, we had the behaviors well in hand. Our pup was once again looking to us for guidance and decisions rather than trying to protect us at every turn. We learned some new valuable skills and have found life is back to a more even keel.
We are on the west coast. Our trainer was on the east coast. She readily adjusted her schedule to meet our needs. If you need help with your pup I would strongly recommend the trainers of Same Ivy, especially Gina, to get you and your pup on the right track.

Can't say enough about the level of professionalism from start to finish. The no-cost initial consultation with Brett was extremely insightful and helped us understand the Sam Ivy System. Our Trainer Holli Kepschull and her 4-legged buddy Brodie were absolutely amazing! Practical application video training couldn't be more simple. Our beautiful puppy Piper has grown leaps and bounds with proper pack behavior and obedience. We have a sense of balance in the home with a dog that minds and is willing to please. There is no limit to what Piper can accomplish and we owe it all to the outstanding program of Sam Ivey. The convenience with a busy life and family schedule was perfect and exactly what we needed. We couldn't be more pleased with the results in our first 7 weeks. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you want one on one training results in the comfort of your own home. No need to go to a facility with all the distractions, because the natural progression of the Sam Ivey training will get you there. In this day in age, there is really no other reason to look anywhere else!
Thank You Holli !!!!!!! 🤩🙌🐶

Absolutely recommend!
We have 2 Vizslas and a Pit-Lab.
One of our Vizslas, Hawk, was becoming increasingly aggressive towards our Pit-Lab, and we were at our wits end!
We would like to thank Nate for all his expertise and helping us make a change for the better with Hawk!
Our stress is nonexistent now!
If you are at your wits end, Sam Ivy will be your savior!

I'm so thankful I was able to find an amazing group of people to work with my dog, Chance. He is a rescued dog who had territorial issues and showed minor aggression at the beginning but ended up biting. That's when I knew I needed help, and I found Sam Ivy. From the first conversation, I got peace of mind knowing there was help for him. Having Zoom meetings made things easier. Our trainer, Olivia, was amazing and always very helpful and accommodating with the schedule. She was easy to work with, and she was very knowledgeable in addressing the issues Chance had. I now have a dog who has learned so much. We have come a long way! I now know how to correct his behavior, and he knows he's not in charge!! It's been a pleasure to work with Olivia, and I'm grateful for everything she taught us!
