We were desperate to find a solution to Marley's behavior problems. We literally tried everything or so we thought. We were going to send Marley off to puppy boarding training for 1-2 weeks and then at the last minute Ariela Edwards found Sam Ivy K9 Consultants Inc. through a referral from a neighbor. I was skeptical at first because it was advanced on-leach obedience training and it was virtual. Isn't everything now! We decided to give it a try as we were desperate. We met our trainer, Maribel, and she was AMAZING! It turns out the virtual course is better than any in-person or in-home instructor program could ever be. Marley was comfortable in his own surroundings and thrived in his own environment without the distractions of a new person in his space. The programs 3 pillars are simple and extremely effective. We saw results immediately and 14 trainings later Marley is the best version of himself that he could possibly be. Maribel actually trained us, but don't tell anybody, Ha Ha. Thanks to Maribel and Sam Ivy, we are a happy family again that loves every minute we get to spend with Marley.

Brie (like the cheese) was my foster at 15 weeks old. After a month of having her, i officially adopted her. Off the bat, Brie was an old soul and very well behaved with great manners and showed an intelligence that you just don’t see in dogs that young. My goal was to work her up to service training. She went through the initial advanced on leash and after a break, we decided it was time to start service training. I requested Miguel personally because I’d heard amazing things from a friend that worked with him previously. Miguel is absolutely amazing! His way of teaching makes concepts very simple to understand and implement. He's extremely knowledgeable about dogs, and best of all, is a perfectionist which i appreciate. Everything he teaches makes absolute sense. From how you position your hands to how you stand. It all has a purpose and a reason behind it. The Sam Ivy training process is very well thought-out. All training methods are easy to follow and incredibly effective. The fact that you get to be involved in your dogs journey is exactly why i chose Sam ivy! No one ever wants to send their dogs away to a camp. This program isn’t just about training your pets, it’s about training yourself.
Miguel, thank you so much! Brie was always a great dog but now she is extra amazing and her intelligence continues to amaze us everyday. She still loves to practice weekly and stepping backwards has become second nature to her.

We have been so pleased with Sam Ivy! We recently got a new puppy and after a couple of weeks it was clear that we needed some help with training. After some research and seeing a number of positive reviews we decided to reach out to Sam Ivy. I have to admit, when we were first told it would all be virtual, I was pretty skeptical. However, now I think that actually made it even better. Our trainer was Gina and she was phenomenal. She explained everything so clearly and addressed any questions or concerns we had. And since it was all virtual, our puppy learned to follow the commands from us rather than from the trainer and later on from us. She is a completely different dog now and we all seem so much more at ease. I would absolutely recommend Sam Ivy to anyone looking for dog training!
