Highly reccommend Sam Ivy! We worked with Gina and she was great! We originally went looking for help because our dogs (2 great pyrenees) did not listen and they had aggression issue with people coming to our house. We went through their "intermediate off leash" program and it was worth every penny. They are totally differnt different dogs now, thank you Gina!

I can not say enough good things about this company and the training program they use! My 3.5 year old German Shepherd, Max, and I have been working in Deanna; she is amazing and has changed our lives for the better! In the few short weeks since she has been in our lives Max has transformed from an incredibly high energy, anxious, Tasmanian devil of a dog to a much calmer, more obedient dog who is a joy to be around rather than a stressor in life. Probably most importantly, Deanna has been calm and patient teaching ME how to work with Max. She is flexible with schedule and always available for questions between sessions.

After looking around and checking reviews on dog trainers in our area Sam Ivy stood out from the crowd.
Our companion “Boss” was fairly well behaved but began to exhibit aggressive tendencies. Sam came to our house for a consultation and effectively and clearly identified the causes of Boss’s behavioral issues and the solutions.
After thinking about it over night my wife and I decided to move forward with the obedience program. It was expensive but if it prevented our dog from biting one person - it would be well worth it.
Sam assigned Joel as our trainer. Upon meeting Boss, Joel seemed to connect with him immediately. With each lesson we were given assignments to practice and clearly defined goals. We saw immediate improvement and with each lesson the behaviors that concerned us started to diminish.
By the end of the program Boss, was a different dog. As with any training method it is the dog owners responsibility to put in the required effort. However, the methods employed by the Sam Ivy team absolutely worked. For these reasons I highly recommend them.

I highly recommend Sam Ivy K9 if you have any dog training needs. I rescued my dog Milo in January of 2019. He immediately began to show signs of fear based aggression towards other dogs. He would lunge and bark aggressively at dogs on walks and I had no idea how to handle it. Thankfully I contacted this company and immediately one of the team members came to our home for a free consult.
We were set up with Miguel as our trainer for the intermediate on leash program. Miguel was absolutely amazing! He truly cares about all of the animals he works with and would always answer any questions I had immediately, even if he wasn’t working with us that day. Milo’s aggression has calmed down so much since we started and I am very confident on how to handle him now. It’s an ongoing process, but I am so happy with how far we have come and so thankful for everything Miguel did for us! The skills they teach you will benefit you as a dog owner for life, no matter what kind of dog you have. I highly recommend using Sam Ivy, it is well worth it!
