I was unsure how a virtual training experience would work, Now that we have gone through the training I was completely impressed.
We were training three dogs, including a newly adopted rescue with some behavioral issues. Not only did this curb those issues but all three of our dogs are now following all of the obedience commands giving us control of our household again! Our trainer Gina was amazing, very patient but firm in how to handle and train our loving pups. She was great at meeting each of our dogs where they were and getting them to a successful outcome.
We have used many other options in the past and this was by far the most effective and better yet it put us in control!

Gina with Sam Ivy was absolutely unbelievable! Our dog, Pike, had been showing signs of dog aggression over the past few years and would absolutely attack (and scratch) our front door whenever a delivery driver would come to our house. We finally realized that we had to stop ignoring the problems and looked to Sam Ivy for help.
Although we were reluctant to use some of the tools that were recommended by Sam Ivy, and we were certainly skeptical about the Zoom training formats, WE WERE COMPLETELY WRONG. Our dog is a completely different pup now. He listens, doesn't try to attack dogs on walks, and he quietly sits as delivery drivers come to our door. Best of all, he truly seems happier and less anxious now.
I can go on and on, but I can honestly say that every penny I spent was well worth it. I’m quite sure all the trainers with Sam Ivy are wonderful, but Gina is fantastic. Extremely patient, funny, accommodating, sweet as can be, responsive, and attentive. Thank you Sam Ivy and thank you soooo much Gina!

We have two golden retrievers (a year old and a puppy) who were always pulling the leash and jumping on people and their adorable energy started to become a problem. After being referred by a friend we started with Sam ivy on leash training. We had Freddy as our trainer and we are very happy! He was very reliable, punctual, and professional. We learned a lot and now our dogs have much more self control and we can enjoy long walks with them!!! Would recommend Freddy and Sam Ivy to others.

My experience with Sam Ivy was beyond a 10/10.
My 1 year old corgi, Luna, was struggling with dominance issues and was barking constantly, ignoring commands, marking indoors at my boyfriends house and jumping up on guests. I was really worried about her because I have a big move coming up and didn’t want to have to deal with a misbehaving pup.
My mom sent me a link to Sam Ivy and suggested I set up a zoom meeting to get some more info.
We decided to try out the intermediate on leash program because we figured it couldn’t hurt to try. They explained how the training program works and how long the sessions are, expectations, prices and training tools to purchase.
They set us up with Gina who’s known as the “corgi lady” because to her experience with owning corgis over the years.
Gina was absolutely fantastic, she assured me that the problems I was having didn’t make me a bad dog mom and she promised to help give me the tools I needed to help Luna succeed.
Before we started the actual training Gina explained to me the root of each of Lunas problems and helped me better understand how to tackle each issue at hand.
Within 2 or 3 sessions I already saw improvements. Luna was definitely not happy about this change in authority but she started paying attention more, respecting me and slowly became much more willing to comply (with lots of treats).
We just completed our program and I seriously could not be happier with the results. Luna is a brand new dog and she continues to improve each day and we utilize the skills we have learned each day.
I was so impressed with the program I’ve decided that after my big move I’m going to sign her up for the off leash program and continue her training.
I would recommend this program for anyone struggling with their dogs behavior, or wants to sign up for service dog training!
