My wife and I started with the intermediate leash training. Our chocolate lab Kahlua was 10 months old and had serious resource gaurding and was sometimes aggressive toward me and my son, but not towards my wife. Kahula had even bit me!
Maribel was/is our trainer and she has an outstanding personality, she is very professional, and truly understands what was needed to help us correct our issues. It worked!!! Sam Ivy K9 is excellent in dog training, so much so, that we are going to continue to train our Kahlua to be a service dog for me.
You will not go wrong with choosing Sam Ivy K9

We were desperate to find a solution to our 6-year-old French bulldog, Georgia’s, aggression/behavior problems. We have a 10-month-old baby and Georgia began showing signs of aggression/jealousy towards our baby as soon as she started crawling. I was hoping to find a board and train program where Georgia could be trained off-site since my schedule is so hectic with work and a young baby. After reading several reviews online, I decided to reach out to Sam Ivy K9 Consultants. I was very skeptical about online, virtual training and having to do all of the training myself; however, it was the best decision we’ve ever made. We were in control and were able to address all her issues in the environment where they needed to be corrected. Our trainer, Thuylinh Nguyen, was OUTSTANDING! We saw results in Georgia’s behavior almost immediately. She used to get very jealous around the baby, attack visitors and packages at the front door and also attack the vacuum/broom. Now, with the tools and techniques that we learned through training, we can open the front door to get packages, welcome visitors, vacuum freely and play with the baby in the same room as Georgia. We are so happy that we found Sam Ivy – it has truly changed our lives!

My family and I cannot recommend Sam Ivy enough – specifically our trainer Thuylinh Nguyen. We have a 6-year-old French bulldog, Georgia, who has a history of being aggressive towards visitors, attacking the vacuum/broom/packages at the front door, the list goes on. We were initially skeptical about virtual training, but it worked so well for us. Prior to training Georgia was often triggered by unfamiliar people coming into our house and it would take a long time to get her to settle down. By having the training online in our own house, we were in control and were able to address all her issues in the environment where they needed to be corrected. Georgia now knows and respects boundaries in our house, has a “spot” and listens to us when we say “No”. We didn’t think we would have such great success being that Georgia is now 6, but we have a completely different dog. We are still working with her being that she has an aggressive past, but we now have the tools and techniques to address any issues that arise. Thuylinh truly enjoys and loves what she does and genuinely cared about Georgia’s progress!

I am over the moon pleased with my Sam Ivy K9 experience. I got my puppy right before the pandemic happened. My dog is basically now a miniature pony - he is a 10 month old Bernedoodle in the 65-75lb range. Being that he is so big, we really struggled with leash walking. He was running the show, not listening to me, pulling me all over the place and jumping around when he didn't get his way...he really did not take to the word "no" either.
I found Sam Ivy by doing a google search. After reading many reviews and doing a lot of research, I reached out for my consultation. Shortly after I called back and booked intermediate leash and obedience training. I was a little nervous doing everything virtually, but our trainer Erica was incredible.
Each session was full of learning and productivity. Nash took to the training so well and life became so much easier! I now feel totally in control of my dog. We have the best walks with no pulling or jumping! He listens to me and respects me...now know how to talk to him in a way he does understand. He graduated not too long ago and we are already considering doing more sessions to continue to train our dog in different skill sets. It was truly so exciting to see him progress and so relieving to finally watch it all click!
I would highly recommend Sam Ivy and team! Thanks again!!
