I would recommend this training to anyone who who needs dogs trained. I have Doxies that where very poorly behaved extremely human aggressive . They had not been exposed to alot of people and are very territorial. Circumstances forced me into living with other people and I was literally afraid of what they might do or what I would have to do with them for everyone's saftey. I Saw Sam Ivy had the best rating and and called I was not disappointed. I trained with Alexis she was amazing always communicated well treats your dogs with respect and is a great trainer . I can now take my dogs to the park leave them at home alone and even to dog friendly establishments without worry . I honestly was super afraid of what I was going to do with them and they helped me so much . Thank you Alexis !!!

There are not enough stars to give Sam Ivy. We are about half way through training with our dog Luke, who was really a struggle to manage with three young kids. Luke had issues with jumping, barking, chewing, pulling on his leash, being destructive, going to the bathroom in the house, and was generally all around anxious all the time. He even would bark at us whenever we opened the oven or picked up an oven mitt. It was stressful for all of us and we knew we needed to change so we could actually enjoy having a dog.
We have had 5 sessions with the Sam Ivy trainer Joel and I am blown away with how Luke has transformed. He is such a great dog and even strangers comment on how well behaved he is. We can enjoy walks now and we have learned how receptive he is to training using the tools that Sam Ivy provides. You can tell he feels more secure and less anxious in the house now that we have established appropriate boundaries and rules for him. As I write this, he is sitting calmly in his crate when even two weeks ago he would be yelping and urinating in it. We have used two other trainers in the past for him without success.
I cannot recommend Sam Ivy enough. Originally we were a little nervous about the investment and collar used, but the results are worth their weight in gold. One thing I love about them over other programs is the flexibility of the schedule. I like that we don’t need to have the pressure of a set number of classes or sessions to attend and that Joel has been able to adjust the schedule based on our needs as our circumstances changed mid-program requiring some new dates and times. If you’re looking for a dog trainer, Sam Ivy is the only one I would recommend!

Our dog Mac had horrible dog reactivity and separation anxiety. Within a few training sessions we saw a massive change in his behavior. Joel helped train us to train our dog so he listens to us. Cannot recommend enough!

We aren’t even through the program yet but I need to shoutout to Sam Ivy K9 Consultants for helping us to discover the great dog we had underneath all of his problem behaviors. We were the people who were constantly apologizing for our dog who would jump, bark, pee, chew, you name it. Within 4 sessions with Joel, it’s like we have a new dog on our hands. We enjoy more time with him, he is starting to listen more often than not, and in the last week alone I’ve had 5 complete strangers comment on how well behaved he is. We are suddenly getting a lot of foot traffic in our house and the same dog that would race to the door barking and jumping when the doorbell rang two weeks ago sat quietly and calmly all day long with people coming in and out and staying for hours. THANK YOU! We’re so excited to keep going and I’m so grateful we found you guys!
