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.

We have 10 dogs in total all was great until cheech and chong came along . at 9 weeks our baby bulldogs were presious and energetic. But at approx 6 months old. Chong became aggressive with our other male english, our 90 pound pit ,his brother and our 14 year old shnauzer. It was so stressfull. Before the puppies we could have all the kids out together and it was fun and chill. With the puppies it was dificult , took more time, and we were both stressed out after a few close calls. We called sam ivy and Claudia was assigned as our trainer. Wow what a difference now. Thank you so much Claudia. What a great learning experience . claudia gave us the tools to be a strong pack leader. and all the kids are out playing together again. Thanks again claudia and Sam
