We had our Doberman Max trained by Claudia and the results have been amazing. He is 7 months old and he is fully trained for behavior, obedience and on the leash off-leash. The training it is a great investment and it pays back easily when you see the results coming - and they come fast you need see to believe. My family at this point can enjoy much more Max in the house, outside and anywhere. In a few days Max will be finishing /graduating as a service dog and we are very proud, excited and thankful to Claudia for her dedication and Sam for designing such a smart, simple and efficient training to bring Max up to the excellence level we need it and we have now.

Sam Ivy K9 Consultants Inc. has a program that truly works for transforming dogs of all temperaments and backgrounds. My Max was a rescue from a hoarding situation with severe fear aggression which contributed to issues such as resource guarding, intense leash pulling, and incessant barking. Max now stays on spot when we have guests over or when I'm bringing in groceries, he knows his "drop it" command and NEVER shows us aggression. He heels on walks and is a BOSS at obedience. Before completing Proper Pack Behavior and Intermediate On-Leash, I dreaded taking him on a walk in the neighborhood. Now, I can take him to my husband's dirt bike races, into Lowe's, and to the park without any fear of him lashing out. He views my husband and I as pack leaders and he trusts us like I never would have thought possible.
Gina was the true key factor in helping us build a new relationship with Max by listening to our frustrations and targeting them directly. She was understanding when we needed to cancel and helped us out when we had questions via text in-between sessions. When Max hit road bumps along the way, Gina took the time to find solutions. She celebrated small victories with us and was so proud of Max for how far he came over the course of the program. I am so happy we were paired with Gina - she seemed to be the perfect trainer for our family.
Max is graduating tonight and I'm forever grateful that I found Sam Ivy K9 Consultants Inc. and Gina.

Our 4 month Boston Terrier Grey recently graduated from proper pack behavior class, we couldn’t be happier! Since the first time Ryann (trainer) came to our home she was able to help us identify the behaviors we wanted to change and gave us the proper tools for us to succeed as new puppy parents. Ryann was very knowledgeable and flexible with our times. We are looking forward to start our second course beginning of the new year! Thank you Ryann & Sam Ivy!

We adopted our rescue dog Kevin over a year ago, and he had some behavioral issues. The most concerning problem was his growling at men who would enter our home - friends, neighbors, relatives or repairmen, it didn't matter who it was. Kevin even tried to bite my neighbor of 27 years one day when he stopped by, and this situation prompted me to contact Sam Ivy. We enrolled Kevin in the Proper Pack Behavior program, and it was a worthwhile investment. We were paired up with Ryann, and she was just incredible. Ryann was patient and supportive and answered all my questions. If I was having a problem outside of the training time, Ryann encouraged me to text her and she always responded promptly. When Kevin was having difficulty with some of the training, Ryann improvised and came up with effective solutions. I am happy to say that Kevin is no longer growling at male visitors and he is much more relaxed and happy now that boundaries have been established. Ryann was so proud of Kevin on his graduation day! My adult children have even noticed and remarked on the positive changes in Kevin. I would highly recommend Sam Ivy training for anyone who is having behavioral problems with their dog. And if you are fortunate enough to be paired up with Ryann, I have no doubt that you will be very pleased with the end result.
