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!

Our trainer Miguel was the sweetest and most understanding, I’m the owner of our dog and I have really bad back and I just had SI Joint Fusion surgery. Miguel helped us train her to pick up thing on the floor and our puppy did it . Miguel is the best trainer , he knows everything about training, he is so sweet to our puppy. If your looking for a trainer ask for Migue he is Definitely worth it. Miguel is a five ⭐️...
I am so grateful that we had Miguel because he totally understood my health issues . I would never leave my puppy with anyone, however, I would leave our puppy with him becoming I trust him and our puppy has a Bond With Miguel... Thank you Sam Ivy and thank you Miguel for being you.

My dog was amazing pre-Sam Ivy training (me? biased? no chance)— but now he’s truly on his way to becoming exceptional. From my first in-home consultation with Sam, to each session with our trainer Deana (who is amazing!!!), my relationship with my pup has improved tenfold in only a few months. With the proper tools and training, I’ve become the “alpha” and our quality of life is so much better! I receive countless compliments on his behavior when we are out and about in Tampa— it’s a wonderful feeling. I’m so grateful for this program and highly recommend to everyone.
