Maribel was my K9 trainer and we used an entirely virtual training method. This is a great program and I cannot recommend highly enough. We used Zoom or FaceTime to do each class and Maribel made herself available for any problems or questions outside of the classes. From a psychological perspective, their methods are superior to other dog trainers who simply teach your dog to shake, sit, or stay. I have a BA in psychology and went to grad school for mental health counseling, which is why I knew this was the program for me and my puppy. Having another trainer physically with me could confuse the dog on who is the alpha, so the virtual experience removes this possibility. Additionally, with the pandemic, I feel safer with this method as well. Maribel taught me to be the Alpha of my pack and proper pack behavior. This is key since I live in an apartment complex where many other dogs live. You never want your dog to be the one no one wants their dog to play with. Being able to provide structure in addition to obedience training has made all of the difference. My neighbors and family constantly comment on how well trained my dog is and how well he behaves. I highly recommend Sam Ivy and their training program.

I used Sam Ivy to train my pup virtually and it was AMAZING. Nate was such a great trainer and so patient with my dog and I. I was a little hesitant because of the virtual set up due to covid, but it was just as good if not better. 10/10 recommend them!!

We signed up our 6 month old lab, Lily, in the midst of COVID after a recommendation from a family member. Lily had a lot of energy and was very difficult to train on our own. I am so grateful for Gina at Sam Ivy. Training a puppy can be incredibly frustrating, but Gina brought me patience and understood my frustration when training. Our virtual training meetings were very convenient and I felt like each time I logged on, our trainer was right there in our home with us.
Lily is so much more well behaved now. Whenever I do come across a problem at home, I think "What would Gina do?" and go back to the triangle she taught us to use. I only wish I could hug her and thank her for all her help!

We reached out to Sam Ivy because we were having some issues disciplining our brand new puppy, Audrey. Plus as a first time dog owner, I had no idea what I was doing. Our Sam Ivy consultant, Thuy, came in a quickly taught us basic skills to enforce discipline. The TRIANGLE works like a charm. Within a couple sessions, Audrey was a new dog and we were easily able to get her to follow basic commands. I highly recommend Sam Ivy and Thuy. She is very passionate about what she does and gives you lots of tips and tricks to help you develop a good relationship with your pup.
