We have 2 Australian Shepherds who needed extra training to be more respectful. We were referred to Sam Ivy by Vets for Pets and couldn't be happier with the training and tools we received from them. Gina was super helpful, friendly and genuinely wanted us to be successful through out the training sessions. We definitely recommend Sam Ivy!!

We had been looking to train our furry babies for a while, tried different methods that didn’t work until we found Sam Ivy k-9. At the beginning we were somewhat hesitant but decided to give it a try. We had struggled to correct with the nonstop barking and jumping on people for over 2 years! Among other things. All of their bad habits are completely gone!! We had an amazing trainer, Maribel!! In every session she would listen to all our questions and concerns and went patiently step by step with us to correct all the bad behaviors they had. The investment is totally worth it, my babies would never stay still let alone pose for a picture, and look at them now!! Thank you Maribel and Sam Ivy!!

I’d like to leave a review for Sam Ivy Dog Training. My name is Michelle and we r a family of 5. My 3 kids were 13, 17 & 21 when we got our puppy Rizzo. We were so excited getting pictures from the breeder, dreaming of the day we could pick her up. Finally bringing her home at 8 weeks old and 8 lbs was the best day !!! Little did we realize we brought home a dinosaur. Biting and tearing cloths, jumping, lunging and very nippy. The months went by and 8 lbs changed to 40 lbs which changed to 75 lbs & now we have a real problem. Walking outside was impossible if we saw anyone. If we would tell her no for any reason she would jump on you and bite what ever she could reach. Our cute lab puppy was a nightmare & not at all the experience we were hoping for. I reached out to Sam Ivy for help & In walks sweet, little Maribel. I was wondering what magic she was going to pull out of her hat to make this behavior go away, we literally tried everything. It was as simple as a collar, leash and commands. What Maribel taught us was that Rizzo thought she was the boss, at 15 months old she was calling all the shots. Well I’m not joking but in literally 48 hrs her temperament was different. We just graduated and it’s been about 3 weeks. Rizzo does not bite, walks nice and doesn’t jump. I think the best thing we learned is to use spot training. We can now sit as a family and have a meal with out being barked at. She stays on her spot mat for 30 min!!! I can even load the dishwasher. Maribel made the training so easy & Rizzo was eager to please us as labradors are known for. We now have the most perfect dog, the one we had dreamed of. Even my neighbors noticed a difference and are so impressed. If you are having a problem and feel lost and frustrated give them a call. I was nervous and skeptical at the start but after 1 session I felt better. Was worth every penny!!!! THANK YOU MARIBEL!!!!!!!
