Adam is excellent at helping decide if this is right for you, he is very knowledgeable about the program gives you everything about it up front no gimmicks or side sells. I'm excited to start my training with Samivy soon

I'm so proud of these girls. They go to "Spot" and stay until I release them Lucy goes to her crate and stays there a while by herself. It is becoming her safe space. The girls now stop barking when I tell them, "NO." So much quieter and controlled now. We're going to do the door this morning before our session today as a practice to their behavior. See you soon, Holli! Looking forward to the training session today! Thank you so much for all your training and coaching! We are appreciative everyday and it keeps getting better! ❤️

We have been working with Holli as our trainer for our reactive 4 year pittie mix rescue pup, Wesley, for the last few weeks and I am truly amazed at the results she has helped us to achieve. Wesley was always a sweet, loving dog at home but because of his reactivity and sheer strength, he was so stressful and frankly scary for me to walk. I never knew what might startle or trigger him and more than once, I was pulled to the ground as Wes lunged at a jogger or a cat. Because of Holli’s careful, smart and completely doable approach to training exactly these kinds of dogs , and their owners , in a matter of weeks, I have a calm, relaxed dog and I feel so much more confident and safe walking him. As a small woman in her 50s, I was really worried that I couldn’t keep either of us safe outside our house. I can’t express how grateful I am to Holli for showing me this was not our fate forever! Lastly, we had a gathering at our house of multiple families and small children last weekend. Normally, we would board Wesley because he would just be too excitable and disruptive. We put into practice Holli’s strategies and all of us- including Wesley- were able to enjoy a fun and stress free time together. Thank you Sam Ivey and thank you Holli!

We did training with Hollie for our 2 bully breeds. At the very beginning, she would tell us what our dogs could accomplish- and my husband and I would look at eachother and just laugh. Then she proved us wrong- time after time- they totally got it when she taught us how to approach it. She's incredibly supportive and just a good human. She cares about us and our pups.

Our puppy Dante was struggling with fear-based aggression. He barked, nipped, and we worried we would never have people in our home again. A private trainer we tried before couldn’t handle his size or behavior. Then we found Sam Ivy. Our trainer Jillan has been incredible. She guided us step by step, answered every question, and made training fun and manageable. She even helped us reintroduce Dante to friends and new situations with confidence. Now Dante can go to the dog park, meet new people, and even walk through the pet store calmly to pick his own new toy. He listens, respects commands, and no longer nips or jumps. The transformation is night and day. We wouldn’t have the dog we have today without this program. I don't know how I could ever think Jillan for her knowledge, kindness, and friendship.

Holli is amazing trainer! We have seen such a difference in Maple since she has started. She is extremly attentive and is the dog of our dreams! We are so impressed with Sam Ivy. We love the flexibility and their philosphy. Holli is extremely encouraging and you can really tell how much she cares!

Holli has been fantastic working with Luna on her service dog training through SamIvy. She’s patient, professional, and makes the process clear and easy to follow. Luna has made huge progress not only in obedience but also in her service skills. I really appreciate how Holli focuses on both the dog and handler to build a strong partnership. Highly recommend her and SamIvy!

Sam Ivy was such a gift for my dog Habeebi and I. I’ve had him for five years, and never had the discipline or time to really train him (and train myself). He was abandoned, so we don’t know much about his history. As a result of not training him early, he engaged in a lot of bad behaviors, the worst of which would include aggressiveness towards me (including biting) when he was stressed out. We’ve been through some very difficult times that left me feeling hopeless and trapped. I love him endlessly, and 80% of the time he’s a normal, fun and adorable guy. But that 20% made things unpredictable and at times a little scary. My trainer Hollie has helped so much, both by providing the tools we need to set boundaries, create a hierarchy (so I’m leading the pack and not my 15 lb half shh tzu :)), and keep everyone safe. She’s kept me accountable, which I think is the most important thing in training. Dogs can learn, but is humans have to learn first and then be disciplined enough to teach. She also pushed me to enforce boundaries and be the aggressive leader I need to be, in the same way that parents enforce rules with their children, out of love. She helped me off hours in some tough moments when I had family visiting and Habeebi was acting out, so there was a ton of support in between sessions too, which I was really grateful for, never really having had anyone to help or support with my dog’s issues. Seeing that my dog can learn and change has been such a balm for me, as parents of aggressive dogs know, it’s a really tough situation and hard to understand unless you’ve been there. I’m so so grateful to Hollie and Sam Ivy. We’re not at the end of the road yet, but we’re getting there.
