Our dog walker let us know about Sam Ivy K9. Our Golden Retriever puppy was then 3 1/2 months old. We were seeking training to reduce/remove her behaviors such as biting, jumping, barking, and pulling while being walked on a leash. Alexis was our trainer. She is great. Very knowledgeable about dogs, patient, understanding, and a great pleasure to work with. The training was individual and was in our home for the first few weeks. At the end of each training session, we noticed immediate improvements in our dog’s behavior. After 6 sessions, our dog’s biting was almost non-existent and she would listen to commands to stop, she was walking by our side, she was not jumping on people, and her barking was reduced.
The final sessions were outside: a park to interact with other people and dogs, a pet store, and at an outdoor restaurant so our dog would lie down during a meal.
Alexis was great reminding us of what we need to do so our dog knows what we want. We enjoyed working with Alexis and highly recommend her as a dog trainer.

We hired Sam Ivy and we we're lucky enough to get Gina as our trainer. Our dog Max was scarred of the world when we got him as a rescue and his fear of everything caused him to have a miserable life. Gina was very patient with my wife and I and Max and helped us how to build Max's confidence and show him that we we're the "pack leaders." Gina was very good at explaining how our actions were causing Max stress. Over the course of the training Max blossomed into a new and more confident dog. With Gina's instruction we were able to conquer Max's fear. Max now goes everywhere with us, parks, restaurants and public places. Taking Max to a busy outdoor restaurant was unthinkable until Gina trained US (more than Max) on how to give him confidence and direction. Max even looks different now. He is no longer permanently tail tucked, ears back and hiding. Gina from Sam Ivy saved our dog and our sanity.

This company is amazing. My dog has completely transformed. My trainer was Miguel and he walked me through every step so not only did my dog get the training he need I also learned how to train him. I adopted Thor about 2 months ago and he immediately started showing aggression towards other dogs including my roommates dog. So I called Sam Ivy and a month later I have the perfect dog. He doesn’t show any more aggression. He doesn’t pull on walks, he listens to me, and now he knows some tricks on top of it all. The best thing is that if he does show any bad behavior is the future I know how to correct it now. Totally worth the money for a wonderful dog and a peaceful house.

Maribel was an amazing trainer. Fantastic personality and full of energy. Really helped us out with our 2 dogs. Very pleased with our training. Would recommend her to everyone. Spot is life!! It’s so great to be able to cook and and eat dinner without 2 dogs under your feet.
