Maribel was my trainer. She was always on time.
She was kind and taught me how to firmly get my dog to understand that I am in charge and he is not.
He is now friendly to other dogs in my neighborhood.
And he stopped jumping on visitors. I am very happy I hired Sam Ivy dog trainers.

We recently rescued a dog from the Bahamas as a playmate for our other dog. Our new pup came with lots of fears and as a result would exhibit fear-based aggression, growling and snapping. I knew I needed help correcting and managing her behavior and reached out to Sam Ivy. Both dogs started with the On-Leash Obedience and Erica was our Trainer. She was professional, knowledgeable and always available for questions between training sessions. I looked forward to each session and found Erica to be very committed and invested in our dogs’ success. Throughout the course, I learned the techniques to communicate with the dogs in their language, teach obedience skills, establish boundaries for behavior and take charge of situations. They now respect my direction and look to me for guidance. Due to the positive results we were seeing, we continued on to the Intermediate Off-Leash Obedience training. The program overall is an investment of both money and time, however, with consistency and dedication, it does produce results. Our dogs thrived with the training and are now easily handled, calm and confident in new situations. Highly recommended.

We were not sure what to expect with this type of dog training but what an amazing experience. Joel, our trainer, was awesome! He worked with our entire family of 5. Unbelievable the changes in our dog Stitch. We now have a well behaved dog and a much calmer house. We could not have achieved these results without the professionalism, expertise, and patience of our trainer Joel. THANK YOU JOEL AND SAM IVY. Money well spent!

I can’t recommend Sam Ivy enough! Our trainer Alexis was so attentive to the needs of myself and my dog, making sure we got the most out of each session. In our initial consult, they weren’t sure if my dog could become a service dog, but she was able to bond with my dog and instill a confidence in him that he never had before. We were able to explore all types of places around Tampa, and expose him to a variety of different situations. I’m very impressed and feel comfortable saying my dog is ready for anything. I also found this company much more affordable than other companies that offered similar trainings.
