I have a four-year-old Lhasa Apso, Milo, that was so aggressive towards large breeds I dreaded taking him out for a walk. He would lunge at the dogs, growl, bark, honestly everything short of foaming at the mouth, it seemed. Realizing this is not how I wanted us to spend the rest of our life together, I did a lot of research and came upon Sam Ivy K9. The trainer Milo and I worked with is Jackie and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her! Not only is she extremely knowledgeable but at times during the process, when I would slack a little in my training homework, she was very firm with me and didn't let me get away with it –– which I appreciate!
Now, I'm able to take Milo out on walks that he and I both love! Now when we pass large dogs he barely even looks at them. When I stop, he stops and sits automatically. I genuinely can't say what a life-changing experience this has been. To be able to take Milo out and enjoy walks in the park or around the neighborhood, in a way that I never thought would be possible, is something for which I'm so very thankful. I absolutely give all the credit to Jackie and the processes in place at Sam Ivy.
I 1000% recommend Jackie & the Sam Ivy team!

There are no words to express how happy and please we are with our dog’s training. It made a huge difference in his overal behavior. Taz used to bark at everything and everybody who would walk by the house and would cry and bark every time he would be crated. Now he doesn’t bark at the poor mailman and he goes into his crate without a problem. Aside from that, he’s doing amazing with his sits, downs, focus and stays. We will continue to work with him until he’s ready to go all the way to service dog. Jackie was great, professional and patient with me. Having anxiety made it hard at times for me to work with Taz, but Jackie was so good and always helped me stay calm when training him. I highly recommend this company and Jackie of course. I’ll miss having her help me but I’m so pleased I’m committed to continue working with Taz. Thank you

Our trainer, Jackie, was amazing. She was knowledgeable, professional, patient and really flexible. I would recommend this company for anyone who is serious about training their dog.

I love working w/ Nicole! Baylee ( Bichon 3 yrs old) has about 1 week left before graduation of Sam Ivy's training. He's always been a sweet and loving dog, but he didn't listen to me and was always pulling on the leash . He also was taking my glasses and toilet paper as well as constant begging. Now he walks beside me on a loose leash , listened and obeys commands, doesn't beg or take toilet paper or my glasses. I credit this to the program and Baylee's trainer, Nicole. She is very skilled at training and has been s pleasure to work with. I give her a 5 star!
