Bear is graduating tomorrow and even though Noura was assigned to me half way through (my initial trainer left the company due to personal reasons), she accelerated Bear’s obedience and triangle training immensely. Since Noura has been with me, Bear has shown an improvement beyond what I imagined when we first started training. He’s 7 months and a very intelligent choco lab/pittie mix, but with that mix comes out-smarting me and lots of energy. He now knows who is alpha and listens to me and feels safer and happier because of it. Because of Sam Ivy, Bear and I have built a trusting and respectful bond. Sam Ivy’s program is one-of-a-kind because they don’t stop after a certain number of sessions - they continue at the dog’s learning pace until fully achieved all goals discussed at the beginning of training. I could go on, but this has been an amazing experience and I look forward to starting off-leash training now!
