This week we completed our training sessions with our trainer Holli at SamIvy, our experience with Holli was amazing. She understood our concerns, our needs, and the importance of our training being effective. Our dog Max is not your typical dog, Max is 145-pound Bull Mastiff who is powerful, very confident, and can be dominating. The challenges that developed because of this led to an incident between Max and my wife. This forced us to seek out help with training and that brought us to SamIvy where we met Holli who guided us with clear instructions and positivity that empowered us to have the confidence to institute the changes in ourselves and help Max be the best version of himself. Throughout this training we were able to learn the correct way to institute the proper behaviors. Throughout our 6 weeks of training, we focused on reestablishing the hierarchy of pack mentality in our house, fringe behavior, counter surfing, leash walking, and not attacking the vacuum. I can say with confidence that Holli’s training regimen was able to make all of these things happen for us. We are well aware that Max’s and our training did not end at the 6-week mark and we will have to continue the journey, but with the tools and knowledge that Holli instilled in us we can continue and be successful. Thank you, Holli, and SamIvy for everything!!
