We have 2 dogs, one we have had since she was a puppy and was the queen of the house, and the other is a rescue. Both showed different dominant behaviors, but our rescue dog was showing signs of aggression towards us (not other people, unless they are jogging!l. We were at a loss what to do with their behavior and walks were miserable between pulling, stopping at every bush, and their reactions (lunging) to dogs. After some research, we found Sam Ivy K9 Consultants. Their training methods and philosophy seemed very effective and made sense. It is a time and monetary investment, but our dogs' happiness and having an orderly, happy household are well worth the the investment. We had Miguel as our trainer (as it was us who had to be trained and taught!) and he is so nice, patient, and knowledgeable. He took so much time to answer what probably ended up being 1000 questions, and he clearly loves dogs. He is such a great teacher and has helped us and our dogs get into the right order in our pack. Even after the first training session, our dogs' response was incredible...instantly walks became so much more pleasurable without constant pulling and it even tamed the lunging at dogs passing by - again, that was the result after 1 lesson about learning how to hold the leash and practice walking indoors. It is simply amazing. Also, each of our dogs has a different issue we are working to correct. Although you generally work with one dog per session, we can take the lesson of the day and just apply and work on it with each dog and it really helps resolve the different issues using the exact same training. Our dogs now see that we are the leaders of the pack, have things under control, and they can follow our lead. We could not have gotten control of our dogs without Miguel and Sam Ivy K9 Consultants. We look forward to continuing to work with Miguel on the next phase of obedience!
