Sam Ivy was recommended to us by our Veterinarian because our dog Ru was a rescue and we were having aggression issues. Our trainer, Gina M. Conghlin was patient and very accommodating to our schedule and expectations. We are proud to say that after completing the Sam Ivy Intermediate Off-Leash Program our dog has become a calmer and more obedient dog. A huge thank you to our trainer Gina!

Did a fantastic job with our dogs! Firstly, I would like to say our dogs were not aggressive nor did were they extremely disobedient by any means. They just needed to become more obedient and learn some things to create an even more pleasant experience. That being said, their methods made our dogs VERY good walkers and obedient. Sam Ivy gives you the tools in terms of the equipment but also the knowledge in order to turn your disobedient dog into an obedient one. Our main goal was to stop jumping and to create a wonderful walking experience and this program did just that and some! Even taught some things I thought our dogs would never be able to do.
Lastly and it's always stressed by any training program, they will not fix your dogs unless you committ to it! Yes they come to your house and give you the tools, but you have to continue it while they are not there. YOU have to create that communication with your dog.
We had Ryann Dragani, she was amazing. Our dogs really enjoyed her and she was very thorough, honest, and understanding when it came to questions. If you have her, know that you are in good hands. Thank you so much Ryann!

Working with Sam Ivy was an amazing experience. We started the program when we adopted a new rescue puppy who was a bigger breed that was constantly jumping and pulling on the lease when we walked towards other dogs.
Having a 6 year old Pomeranian already, we knew that we needed to train him early to make sure we could control the behavior before he got too big.
We searched online and found the excellent reviews of Sam Ivy. We had an initial consultation which explained a lot of our unknown misconceptions on dog training and how we interact with our pups. It was an easy sell and we were in!
Sam Ivy paired us with Ryann (our trainer) who did an incredible job of teaching US exactly how to train our puppies with proper pack behavior. She arranged bi-weekly meetings at our house and within the first week we saw amazing results (even to our 6 year old Pomeranian).
By the end of training, our dogs were completely different, respected our commands, respected us, but still stayed the same amazing, fun loving dogs.
I wanted to leave a true and honest review of our experience with Sam Ivy, as we were new to dog training, but wouldn't recommend anyone else!
