I have been so thankful to Sam Ivy and my trainer Thuylinh Nguyen for working with me on such a short time frame. I rescued an aggressive Welsh Terrier but did not realize it until we encountered an innocent dog on our walk and my pup jumped the leash and attacked. Honestly I was scared to death as I had not seen this in his personality. I considered giving him up due to I would be moving to a new country and did not know what to expect. I tried another trainer before Sam Ivy and it was not working with his aggressiveness at all. I was a bit hesitant with Sam Ivy's techniques at first but then realized the positive and immediate impact it had on my pup and his overall behavior. My trainer worked with me even after I moved overseas and my pup is getting so much better with his behavior. Sam Ivy is a top notch organization and they are definitely worth the money. Thanks Sam and Thuylinh for all your help. Jojo thanks you too!!!

I would like to extend a huge thank you to Sam Ivy and his amazing trainer, Gina for molding my Willow into an obedient girl. If you are looking for a great company, Sam Ivy is the place. Sam has invested time into his staff to make sure they are properly trained to help you and your dog become a perfect team. Our trainer, Gina has patients with both the dog and owner to ensure great success. She helps guide you and reinforces training With positive feedback. My dog and I clicked quite well with her from the beginning. The importance of a great trainer is having common grounds and someone who loves dogs. I consider Gina a dog whisperer. In the beginning when I was starting out I had moments that I had trouble getting down a few Exercises but she stepped right in and magic happened. She came in to our lives when Willow was 4 months old. Unfortunately, due to Covid, our training was postponed until the Sam Ivy’s team could collaborate with the community through zoom. That was an easy and perfect way to continue our program and to keep Willow on track. My experience was a humbling and perfect success story. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for obedience and a great journey such as mine.
Thank you, Gina for your patients and dedication to our family.

I really hope Sam Ivy can help my very Reactive 7 month old dog, she harasses my older dogs, she jumps on top of the table, she gets really barky and aggressive after bath time zooms, she will not listen or respect us without treats, and it’s getting dangerous, she also mouths us (not puppy biting, I really hope I can see changes in Mila :)

Virtual training was amazing! I contracted with Sam Ivy to help with our new rescue pup, Georgia. Georgia had some issues with jumping/nipping, aggression, separation anxiety, and she had never learned how to walk on a leash. I’m proud to say that after our course with Sam Ivy-shout out to our trainer Gina!- Georgia has become a well behaved, trustworthy member of the family. Gina gave us all the tools to work with Georgia, all done over my phone! We had zoom training sessions 3 times a week that were easy to follow and use, just had to prop up the phone and Gina could see what we were doing. I never once thought it was inferior to in person training, which I had done 11 years ago with another dog. I would highly recommend Sam Ivy and Gina!
