I absolutely love my trainer Deanna! Me and my dog Sophia (english bulldog-7 months old) have had 6 sessions and there is a complete difference in her behavior. When we first started Sophia was the dominant one between the two of us and walks were just unbearable. That changed quicky! Within 2 sessions with Deanna we were able to go for walks around the neighborhood with me being in control and Sophia following my lead! Some of the other issues I had with Sophia were biting, chewing shoes, jumping, peeing/pooping in her crate, constantly whining in the crate. Those issues are almost nonexistent at this point and she is a well behaved dog. I see a world of difference and am super excited to start obedience training with her and Deanna! I had doubts at first about hiring a dog trainer as I thought they were just going to be telling me how to train my dog with little guidance. That is the complete opposite with Sam Ivy. Deanna is here to provide me with the tools and work with me to improve Sophia's behaviors that I consider unacceptable. I am able to reach out to her at any time in between our sessions with any questions or concerns I may have and she is able to advise me on the best way to handle the situation! This was the best decision I made and I am now a very happy dog owner! Thank you Sam Ivy and Deanna!

I normally don't give a lot of details on my reviews but I think it is important for other dog owners know how great Erica (dog trainer) at Sam Ivy K9 is. I have a Great Dane/ Bull Mastiff mix giant puppy. His name is Petey and he is 16 months old. To say the least Petey is big and became a problem for me to handle. I have 4 other dogs and 9 cats. I am experienced at handling animals but Petey was too strong for me. I started looking for a trainer after Petey tried to kill one of my other dogs three times. I knew I had to get this giant under control or i would have a diaster on my hands. I look at sending Petey off for a month for training. Then I had a friend at work who recommended Sam Ivy training. He told me they train his puppy Bull Mastiff to become a service dog. I had a consult and was sold. Erica showed up for our first session (who is a small framed young lady). I thought if I can't handle Petey how in the world is she going to handle him. Erica showed me how to become the Alfa dog and that Petey had to respect me. After 2 weeks of training Petey was a completely different dog. He has been in training now for about a month 1/2 (3 times a week, at my home).in He is now in advance training. Petey and my other dog can now coexist in the same house without fighting. He is very well behaved. People can't believe Petey is the same dog. To say the least I would highly recommend Sam Ivy K9 training. It is money well spent.

Sam Ivy K-9 Consultants was just what we needed!! Miguel was awesome, he was patient, friendly, professional and very detailed.
We saw immediate changes in Abby (our dog) after day one and we are so happy that we did the Intermediate on-leash program!

HIGHLY recommend Sam Ivy! Out trainer Alexis was amazing. She gave us the tools to train our dog Rowan, so that we can continue to do so even after finishing the program. She was knowledgeable, flexible, and so fun to work with. We completed the off-leash program. Not only is it incredibly cool to be able to take your dog off leash, but it is a whole different lifestyle we have now that we are able to communicate effectively with our dog. She has made herself available for any questions we might have, even after we have finished the program. So grateful to her for helping us train our pup in a way we never thought was possible!
