Not sure where to start, but we had an absolutely incredible experience. Our two dogs are rescues at about 2 years old and we had just recently moved to the St Pete/ Tampa area in June from CO. Our dogs had created a very large weight on our lives and we had delayed getting them trained for so long because we had no idea whether it would really work or not. We had looked at a few programs but once we found sam Ivy online and read some of the testimonies, it seems all too similar to our situation and we could identify with many of the “before” stories and it gave us hope that maybe we would have a chance to have “good dogs” someday.. all too often I received the “Who’s walking who” joke all around the neighborhood. They pulled, barked, couldn’t sit still. It had gotten worse as they had gotten older and we feared as their aggression started to amp up that they may be a liability to others despite how much we loved them and how sweet they could be with us seperatley. We lost so much furniture due to our jack Russell / boxer mix aggressive chewing and anxiety, and there was so much stress in so many areas of our lives caused by them. We truly were feeling tested every time people came and stayed with us in our house and we felt embarrassed as they acted out. They were jumping all over, humming each other and more and more it felt like we were living in their house.. we had tried seemingly every training tactic we had heard or read about.. insert Sam Ivy.. he came to our house and assured us we could turn things around if we put in the time and effort...we were hooked once we could see the research and evidence and felt that this was truly the right move for our family, we signed up for the Intermediate On Leash training and trainer Miguel —- wow, we LOVE our dogs! Three months later, we feel like we have our lives back and actually love coming home to our pups! The foundation of how the course is created is research based and with a high integetry approach on how to learn how to engage with your dogs..We were able to establish solid respect from our dogs we never had before which enabled us to take their behavior and obedience to an entirely new level. zero destruction anymore, our walks are enjoyable, our dogs are HAPPIER (of course we are too), and we are now getting compliments from strangers on how good our dogs are. They’re obedience is impressive and their tricks and spot training are just icing on the cake. Our only regret is we wish we had done this sooner. Thank you very much Miguel & Sam Ivy, you are the best!
