Sam Ivy K9 Consultants ... 5 Stars to this organization overall and specifically to Ryann our trainer!
I brought home a brand new 8 week old Golden Retrieve puppy in June ... my first BIG dog! Neighbors of mine recommended Sam Ivy to me. They are owners of 2 (" NOW" well behaved) Doodles and after completing the program the results for their dogs were astounding. It seemed like a "no-brainer" for me to call Sam Ivy for help.
It had been over 15 years since I had trained a puppy and knew instantly I could use some help. Enzo was awesome. He was the Consultant who came out and met Gracie and myself to explain how the program was structured. Enzo assured me that the Sam Ivy program was the best in town. How true! Garcie (my pup) and I signed up for the full program to included: Obedience thru "Advanced On and Advanced Off-Leash" training.
Ryann was our trainer and she was fabulous! Ryann's kindness, patience (with both Gracie and myself) , her professionalism, her calm, focused, patient demeanor ... and, her love for her job ... were second to NONE! With Ryann's help, Gracie graduated in late October. Both Ryann and Gracie are amazing!!!
Gracie is now 7 months old. She is very obedient, very well-mannered and she truly is a wonderful, well trained companion. We are giving consideration to continuing on with Sam Ivy K9 Consultants for Service/Therapy Dog Training sometime in the future.
Calling Sam Ivy K9 Consultants ... and then being connected with Ryann was a true blessing! A blessing for which both Gracie and I are very appreciative of. Reaching out to Sam Ivy K9 Consultants was truly one of the best decisions I have ever made! EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT!

We hired Sam after our friend gave him (and his trainers) a grand review. We had just adopted a Boxer and knew she was going to be powerful. My wife wanted to ensure she would be able to handle a full grown Boxer and we wanted the best investment in the Bay Area. It's been four years and we STILL receive compliments on how well behaved she is! "I wish my dog would listen like your's!" "She won't go past the curb? Really?" The quotes go on and on... I believe the best part of the training is what we (humans) receive - an education on how a dog communicates with us. Body language is SO important! Albeit one part of the equation. You will thank Sam and his staff afterwards! This investment will certainly provide a lifelong payout for both you and your canine companion(s)!

We first contacted Sam Ivy K9 to correct some behavior issues that our 5 month Old English Bulldog was having; like pulling whenever we walked her, not going to her kennel, jumping on people, and playing too rough with other dogs. Sam Ivy was a great experience for my husband and me. Our dog just graduated from Proper Pack Behavior training and she is doing great; behaving and following instructions. Alexis, our trainer, showed great professionalism, love and care for my dog and always answered promptly any doubts we had. Thank you so much and yes, I recommend it.

We just finished our "Proper Pack Training" with Noura, and couldn't be happier! Our mini Aussie was giving us a run for our money, and this training provided us with the tools to understand, and manage his problem behaviors (such as nipping at kids, jumping up on people, and chasing our cat). The spot training technique is amazing!! Miraculously, our Aussie will now sit and stay on command until released. Noura is a supportive trainer, who was amazing at including our 10, and 12 year old kids in the process. I would absolutely recommend Sam Ivy training to any busy family. They were professional, courteous, and flexible to a busy schedule. I feel that this process has benefited my entire families relationship to our beloved, (and now well behaved) Oliver.
