We signed up for training for my aggressive German Shepherd who was more in control of me than the other way around.
After working with Alexis and going through the advanced on the leash training program. Chase has been Transformed! I now know how to handle him and he has also become much more relaxed and trusting around our family, friends, and co-workers.
Not only has Chase been trained but we have been trained as well.
Would highly recommend Sam Ivy for any dog training needs you may have.

We had a great experience with Sam Ivy K9 Consultants! My wife and I originally just wanted to correct some puppy behaviors because our pup (Remy) was energetic at home and liked to bite on things. Turns out Remy was a good candidate for service dog training. We started with the basic proper pack behavior course and went all the way to the service dog level. We are now able to take Remy to any place that a regular person can go to.
Sam assigned Joel as our trainer. You can tell Joel is a dog lover and is very passionate about his work. Our sessions went from training at home, to walking around the neighborhood, to going to high distraction places like the airport. Joel would identify areas that we could work on Remy with and we would practice. For example, Remy was initially scared of balloons. Joel went out and got a balloon so that we could get Remy accustomed to being around it. Eventually balloons were no big deal to Remy. Joel also brought his own dog (Griffon) along sometimes. Griffon was great for making sure that Remy followed commands properly even when another dog was around. It was also cool to see how well trained Griffon was, something for us to strive for with Remy.
Overall, it was a fun journey taking Remy from a naughty puppy to a well-behaved service dog. Thank you to Joel and Sam Ivy K9!

Our trainer Joel was exquisite with our german shepard puppy! He is intuitive and knows the breed well and understood what level of discipline to give her in each scenario so she would not feel discouraged and insecure in herself during the process. The program is perfect! My sister is now using Sam Ivy to train her German Shepard based on her impression from our well behaved dog. I cant recommend them enough!
