We highly recommend Sam Ivy and especially our trainer Gina Coughlin. We were struggling with our girls with regards to behavior and listening. They were aggressive towards others and wouldn't stop barking when we would tell them to stop. Working with Gina our girls did a complete 180 change. They are more confident in themselves and in us. They listen, stop barking when we tell them to, and don't show aggression. We were so impressed that after we graduated with intermediate on-leash training we immediately asked to go onto intermediate off-leash training.
Gina was fantastic to work with and our girls loved her. We highly recommend her as a trainer. She was patient with us and our girls. She answered all of our questions and she was always there for us when we needed her. She was on time and very professional and friendly.
We would refer Sam Ivy and Gina to anyone looking for help with their dogs.

As first German Shepherd owners, we decided to hire a company to train him (and us). Sig (the dog) was 12 weeks old when we made the decision, because he was truly running the house and out of control. Alexis was our trainer and she did an OUTSTANDING job. We thought that because Sig was a puppy that we would get marginal results. To our surprise, Sig has changed a LOT (eg. walk off leash, barking controlled, etc) and for the better. Alexis is VERY professional and she takes all the time needed to support us and the dog. Sig is now 5.5 months old and he LOVES her. Very pleasant experience and we recommend Alexis wholeheartedly. One of the best investments we've made. Extremely satisfied. Thanks a lot Alexis for everything! Very much appreciated.

I have a year old sheep-a-doodle and he began showing several behaviors that concerned me, the worst being dog aggression on the leash and major aggression in the car when he saw people and /or dogs on the side of the street. I saw the Sam Ivy advertisement in my veterinarian’s office and decided to give them a try. It wasn’t long with Gina,our trainer working with my family and our dog that we began to see Auggie become the dog we dreamed of having . Auggie now knows that we are his pack leader and he listens well to our instruction. I am thankful for Gina’s patience, her teaching ability, and encouragement throughout our training. The best gift Sam Ivy gave to us is a training tool known as spot training. It has worked wonders in our very active, quirky, lovable dog. Thanks Gina and Sam Ivy!
