I had looked at a few online dog training courses. Sam Ivy spent about an hour answering question and asking about my other dog and general family. He was by far the best potential trainer I spoke with. Treena was the trainer that was chosen for Lucy and I . What a sheer delight to work with. I was allowed to ask questions, sometimes she would provide real world examples of how that specific trading would help. My other dog was brought into the picture any problems that would arise. Both dogs were included in the price. I had some aggression issues with my other dog, Treena helped work thru those issues, she was great. My dog Lucy, was adopted from a shelter in October/November. Lucy is a terrier mix with all kinds of of puppy energy. The unique thing about Lucy is she only has 3 legs. Before we adopted her, she was hit by a car and that is how she lost her leg. We had a few different challenges to work thru, but they were honest about never having worked with a “tripod” dog. Few changes were needed to supplement my “special” dog’s unique situation., I could go on and on, but these people, this company are amazing. My dog is really moving towards being an exceptional dog and I will continue to train, looking into other courses that would be beneficial for my dog and family. Erin Gibb

My fiancé recently passed away a couples months ago. We have a 5 year old pitbull rescue named Akilles, and a 4 month bull terrier puppy named Lyra. After she passed Akilles anxiety had gotten worse then when we first got him. He has bad separation anxiety, was abused, and periodically would bite my fiancé and I. We swore we’d never give up on him. We had to get him an impact indestructible crate because he would chew and tear up the house. When I returned to work after her passing, I’d come home and he would be chewing through the metal crate until he bled, chipping his teeth, and his crate and him would be covered in saliva. I came home one night and he had threw up all over himself in his crate and he was bleeding out of his rectum from stress while I was at work. That was the straw that broke the camels back and I broke down. It hurt so much because I was contemplating getting rid of him due to both of us not having a good quality of life, when I promised I would never give up on him, and my fiancé would be rolling in her grave if I hadn’t done everything I could for him. I was so hopeless and even as I’m writing this tears are pouring down my face. My mom and separately both saw a Sam Ivy video and took that as a sign. I scheduled an appointment with Enzo, and he was so empathetic to my situation and made me feel comfortable to give it a try. Holly, is my trainer and in my opinion an Angel sent me to help heal my broken home. I’ve been working with her for a couple weeks now. Akilles and Lyra are not fighting anymore, Akilles anxiety has gotten tremendously better where I can leave him roaming in the house while I’m at work without worrying about anything being destroyed, they’ve been so well behaved, I have peace in my house, and more importantly control over my dogs. For the 1st time since my fiancé had passed, I’ve cried tears of joy instead of sorrow. Im eternally grateful for what Holly, Enzo, and Sam Ivy has done to help my family heal from the most traumatic experience we’ve ever gone through. I have my family back and I know my fiancé is looking down on us so happy and proud!

Sam Ivy has been a God send. This program is personable and individualized. My goals going in were Behavior Training combined with Obedience Training. Those goals were accomplished. The zoom program for me was very convenient and incredibly effective. I loved the fact that all the sessions were taped so you can conduct reviews of prior sessions. Nate showed great patient with me. I now have an amazing well mannered dog and a wonderful bond with Cutie. IT’s everything I hoped for. Thank you so much.

We are very happy with the results we got from Sam Ivy K9 Training. We have had dogs in the past that we could train to behave but our two new puppies were beyond our expertise. The video call method worked really well allowing us to be inside our home, outside in the back yard, or walking down the street, whatever was needed. Our trainer Emily was fantastic and we would recommend her to anyone. We now have two well behaved dogs. It’s not cheap but it is effective.
