This is my deaf shelter seal Daisy❤️ we came to SamIvy because we started service dog training with a different company and they did not have the experience to teach a deaf dog. I really was relieved when we got paired with Hollie who has ample experience training deaf dogs and had seen an improvement in Daisy after the first lesson. Her leash walking gets better everyday, she mastered spot with a little sass, currently learning a few manners in the obedience portion and even polished up her crate behavior. I am so grateful for Hollie and cannot wait for Daisy to ace her PSA exam!

I was walking in the park with my reactive dog, she's just hyper and playful and wants to say Hi to everyone, but nonetheless it is embarrassing. In the distance Im looking at a dog that is off leash laying on the grass playing fetch with his owner. I said to myself that is how I want my dog to be. That's when I came across a SamIvy sign...the beginning of a great behaving dog. I have been in the program for several weeks and Im already feeling so proud of my dog. I wish I had come across SamIvy when I started my training journey with my Zira. I would have saved so much time and money. Thank you so much!!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Hollie! Ben (my French Bulldog) and I have been working with her to help address many different issues. The progress Ben has made is incredible! Hollie has been extremely supportive, patient and kind throughout the entire process. Seeing the change in Ben has made me so happy, I’m forever grateful! Thank you so much!

I want to give a big thanks to SamIvy and to my trainer Gina. I was having a hard time with my chihuahua Luna, she would show aggression towards people and animals to the point where I couldn’t take her on walks because of that she grew a hatred towards collars and with the help of Gina, Luna allowed me to put a collar on her for the first time in a long time and it made both of us happy to be able to walk her again. I am very grateful for the journey we took.

I took my training classes with Treena, and from the very beginning, I realized the sessions were just as much about training me as they were about training my 80lb pitbull. Treena went above and beyond in explaining the reasons behind my dog's behavior, helping me truly understand his body language and communication. One key lesson I learned is that you need to set emotions aside if you want to effectively train your dog. I'm incredibly grateful for the experience, and it's clear that consistency and maintaining the habits we've built are essential for long-term success.

We are so grateful to have found Sam Ivy, and especially to our trainer, Gina! We were desperate for help with our two and half year old dog Ivy. She is one of the sweetest, smartest dogs, but we were having a hard time reigning in her working/herding dog instincts - especially once we brought a new puppy home. I had spent hours looking for dog trainers online, but none of them really seemed to meet our needs. I finally came across Sam Ivy and spent a lot of time researching them, and it felt like they could be the right fit. But it is a big investment, and my husband was very apprehensive. He reluctantly agreed to commit after our first consultation with Enzo... and six weeks later we are both confident that it was worth every penny. Ivy has come SO far in the six weeks since we began training. She is no longer in charge around here - we are! Our home is a much more peaceful place and we have the tools, knowledge, and confidence to be better dog owners for our whole pack. Gina was patient with me and all of my fears, she is so knowledgeable and caring, and she was keenly perceptive to the unique needs of Ivy. Being paired with her was truly an answer to a prayer! I know that the training we've done and the investment we made will have a positive impact in our lives, and our dogs lives, for many years to come! THANK YOU GINA AND SAM IVY!

Team Sam Ivy has been a God send! Holli K helped my reactive GSD Chase into an obedient dog that is now part of my life! With her help Chase has become my service dog helping with my mental concerns! Team Sam Ivy consultation after 2024 hurricane season helped set up a game plan in improving my life after tumultuous year.Holli K brings a passion, professionalism and pride that has helped in all aspects of my life. A dedicated team Sam Ivy employee who plays like a champion in every session educating me on the importance of bonding with Chase! Team Sam Ivy will always have a place in my heart and I can finally say to people that I have a family member with an Ivy League education! Go Team Sam Ivy!!!

We are just half way through our training with SamIvy and have already noticed a big difference with our dog’s, (5 year old Lab/Shepherd mix) reactive behavior. We were matched with Hollie, and she is amazing. She talks us through everything and makes sure we understand, not only what we are doing, but why. I was a little hesitant about using our tools, but Hollie took the time to explain the science behind the actions and it made sense. Seeing it work is life changing for us. Our walks are less stressful and we are visiting new places and adventures. We are excited to continue our journey and see the confidence build and our relationship strengthen —— thanks Hollie!
