This is the only thing that worked.
We had a free consultation when Jackson was a puppy and ended up not going with his package. Everyone in our neighborhood knew to avoid us and our dog because he would bark at them. After 3 years of battling with a dog that didn’t listen when on leash we decided to give Sam Ivy the try they deserved.
After the first session I thought why didn’t we do this earlier.
Our trainer Alexis was AMAZING. She genuinely cared about us and our dogs behavior. She was very thorough in her explanation of the training and quickly got Jackson to behave. Alexis made trainings something to look forward to. My wife and I enjoyed the training sessions around town at Armature Works, Curtis Hixon, Sparkman Wharf, and Hyde Park during their Sunday Market! These were all places we would never dream of bringing our dog due to his behavior. After training we are comfortable bringing him anywhere.
I almost forgot, Alexis took a bunch of photos throughout the training sessions and shared them all with us when Jackson graduated. It was not something we knew was going to happen, but was great to see the different days of training and Jackson’s progression. It was a nice touch!
We got our dog back and it has changed our lives. Thanks Sam Ivy and Thank you Alexis!
