Wow! This has made a HUGE difference in the quality of life for our pups and for us! Life before training with Erica - dreading walks, afraid of running into another dog, back yard full of holes from digging. Life after training with Erica - AMAZING! Walks are a pure joy - virtually hands free. Any minor distractions we can immediately address with a slight correction - and we’re reclaiming our back yard!
We certainly gave Erica a challenge - two 100 lb dogs - the male pulling and snarling on walks and the female afraid of her own shadow. We saw an immediate improvement within the first two weeks and it kept getting better from there. Erica tailored the experience to each dog and answered all our questions. She was prompt, professional and genuinely loves what she does. The pups love her, too!
Here’s a little secret - the training is really for the humans! Their training process works - but you have to trust the process - and put in the work to reinforce the new behavior. We couldn’t be more pleased and the pups are flourishing. The experience and the results are well worth the investment. Thank you Erica, Enzo and Sam!

Choosing Sam Ivy K-9 Consultants to train my Spaniel -Mix, Whiskey, was a great decision!
I had recently moved from a large Townhouse to a small apartment, and my poor dog was having a hard time adapting. He had to get used to new sounds and a totally new environment.
Neighbors were complaining of his barking when I would leave for work or errands. This was my biggest concern and I was not prepared to tackle the issue on my own.
As soon as we started the training sessions and he understood who was ‘alpha’ in our little pack, I noticed changes in his behavior and demeanor. He developed more self assurance and It became easier to correct bad behavior.
I’m grateful to my children for pushing me to hire a professional dog trainer. I highly recommend Sam Ivy K-9 Consultants, as well as our trainer Maribel, for her personable and very professional support.
Whiskey is now a calmer and happier dog!
Thank you.

We can not say enough positive things about Sam Ivy and our trainer, Joel! We adopted our hound dog, Murphy, who was great with us, but very fearful and at times aggressive with strangers. He also had issues with walking and obedience. We call Joel the dog whisperer because Murphy has completely changed for the better! His obedience and leash skills are amazing and we are even able to walk him off leash with no worries. He is now a friendly dog who seeks the attention of new guests and strangers, something we thought would never happen! We are so thankful for the great training we got from sam ivy and we highly recommend them!
