Sam Ivy is AMAZING! From the very beginning, Sky and Christine were fantastic getting me situated, listening to ALL of my questions and figuring out what was the best route for me and my puppy. HUGE shoutout to Sky for considering one trainer for me and then ultimately deciding Holli would be the right fit for me because WOW was that right! Holli is just the very best at what she does. She is kind and compassionate when I need to be affirmed, and she gives constructive feedback when changes need to happen. I trust her so completely with my puppy, and it’s even more comforting when I get to watch her with her dog so I know where we will eventually get to. We aren’t even that far into the training yet, and my puppy is already impressing everyone in public settings with how well-behaved he is, and he is already well on his way to becoming a successful service dog someday in the not-too-distant future. I could have never imagined all of this was possible without Holli and the team. Truly, two hands and four paws WAY up for how incredible, available, knowledgeable and committed they are. The training techniques are so unique and yet it works so immensely well! There are tons of options to choose from too, and I feel so heard, cared about and encouraged by Holli each week even from a zoom screen. I genuinely do not think you could make a better decision for yourself and your dog than this company!

What an amazing experience For me and my young Yorkie! Everybody told us not to get a Yorkie because they were “yappy” Dogs! I’ll admit I was skeptical at first when we started training. Our first trainer, we did not match well with just due to style, the person was wonderful. Sam Ivy changed our trainer to Gina. She was truly amazing. Very realistic and adjusted when we needed to adjust. Our 14 month old Yorky is now a fully trained Service dog. We went on a trip this past weekend and he did everything perfectly The airport, the plane ride, several restaurants, big group gatherings, and he did exactly as I said. it was truly amazing! It is definitely work and you have to practice, but it is well worth the rewards. They have several levels of training available. I would highly recommend Sam Ivy to anybody that has a dog.

Wow! We were at wits end when we started our journey with Sam Ivy, so I’m so happy to broadcast what a great partner they have been to get our “rotten child” on track. Our 2.5lb. Poodle, Latte, barked every time my husband entered a room, spoke or moved. Every attempt we made to stop his was ignored. Then Gina showed us how to make him recognize he was just a member of the pack. As I’ve told everyone who knows the struggles we have gone through with Latte, this was the best money we’ve ever spent! He is less anxious and responds to commands, all thanks to Gina! I highly recommend their training!

Holli Kepshull was excellent. We came to her because our dog was developing fear aggression, which needed to be nipped in the bud before it blossomed beyond fear-based growling. Holli provided the training and knowledge to us to develop us into competent leaders to whom our dog now looks for guidance. Holli understands and clearly communicates the nuances of the processes and dog psychology, which facilitated transforming our rescue dog into a respectful and fun family member. Thank you so very much.
