We adopted an 80-lb German Shepherd less than a year ago. She attacked our neighbor so we had to reach out to Sam Ivy for help. Sam came and gave us a free consultation and we liked what we heard. We are glad they sent us Alexis to train our dog (and us). Alexis is kind, patient, professional and very knowledgeable. We also love Marley (Alexis' dog) he is adorable! We could see significant improvement from the first couple of sessions. Thanks to Alexis, we can have people come to our house again. After the training, we can take our dog for a walk in public without fear. We are very excited for the future with our furry baby and are very grateful to Alexis for all of her help.

We found Sam Ivy online and were super impressed du omg our introductory meeting. At the time, we had a 12 week old Great Dane that we needed help controlling....specifically with our two small girls. This training has helped shape him into a great, obedient member of the family by teaching us the tools to get him there. Having him is so much more enjoyable now! Without a doubt this training was worth every penny and all the time. We look forward to keeping the principles going that we have learned from Alexis, to continue him on the right path moving forward. At 4 months old now, he is much better behaved than most dogs we come across....all thanks to Alexis and Sam Ivy!

I had been doing training for over eight months with different training companies and I still couldn’t get my dog to walk nicely on a leash. Other services were pay as you go so the longer he wouldn’t walk nicely, the more we were paying. He was pulling, lunging and reacting to every critter he would see, dogs walking in the street, bicycles, cars and trucks —our walks were miserable, I was miserable. I was referred to Sam Ivy by someone in our rescue group and it has been life changing. Our trainer was Blas, and on the first session, my dog was walking in a polite heal. As each session went by, he was no longer reactive on our walks. We now can walk past barking dogs and he maintains his controlled demeaner which gives me greater confidence to walk past a bad situation and not worry about how I am going to control my dog. People actually compliment me on my dog’s behavior, AMAZING!!! We have worked on other naughty dog behaviors and the difference is astounding, I now have a dog with manners who understands I am alpha—WOW! If you call, ask for Blas, his love for dogs really shows in his enthusiastic approach to training. He is highly motivated to work with your family to ensure your every concern is handled. He accommodated our schedule and every session he would remind us to call him with any questions we may have; we wish we had done this eight months ago! THANK YOU to the Sam Ivy team!

Sam Ivy’s services, masterfully supplied to us by Ms Alexis, were phenomenal. We signed up for our 7 y/o Boxer after his behavior became progressively unruly. Within two weeks his temperament had done a 180, and by the end of the program he had become the teacher’s pet! He still has all of his rambunctious sweetness, but he is no longer acting up; and walking him has become an almost effortless experience! I cannot say enough positive things about Alexis and the Sam Ivy program!
