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!!

Our trainer Gina, with Sam Ivy K 9 Consultants, was great. I decided to do virtual training and loved it. It is a super easy and affordable and I highly recommend. My lessons with Gina provided me with the tools to get my very large dog under control and listening to me.

We recently got a mini goldendoodle and have been wanting him properly trained from day one. We choose sam ivy after we tried a different personal trainer and we were very satisfied with our decision! Freddie was our trainer and he did an amazing job at meeting our needs with flexibility and always being available. It is not often that you see people invested deeply in their work and Freddie is one of those people. I truly believe that Sam Ivy has instilled a quality recruitment policy to pick top notch trainers who understands exactly what your needs are as a dog owner. Within 2 sessions, our dog was much more calm with far less behavioral issues. We are now looking to go to the intermediate and advanced and eventually train him into a service dog as he gets older with Sam Ivy. 100% recommend!
