We have 3 dogs that have been working with Claudia from Sam Ivy for the past few months. We have two Pitbulls and one German Shepherd and we couldn't find anything negative to say, even if we tried. Claudia is so calm and has an amazing personality. We forget sometimes that we can't humanize the dogs, and Claudia helps us get back on track. Sometimes we don't always practice as much as we should be, and instead of being critical she professionally explains why it is so important to work with the dogs between sessions. We weren't skeptics, but we were sure our dogs were so stubborn they wouldn't get it. THEY DID, WE DID and especially our 4 month old German Shepherd. We are continuing on and looking forward to even more progress. We have never hired a trainer before, but now...we would never use anyone else.
