I have a very sweet boy named Dez. He’s smart, sweet and very gentle. However, he suffers from anxiety. His anxiousness got so bad that he wouldn’t even go on walks anymore. I was waking up at five in the morning just to take him out when it was quiet outside. It was affecting my work schedule, my personal life and I knew I needed to find a solution to get him confident enough to get outside. I searched the Internet high and low and found a lot of options were available to me. I wasn’t sure which was the right option for him. After taking a few calls I reached out to Sam Ivy. Maribel called me back and schedule a zoom and I don’t know what it is about that woman but I just knew I could trust her. She paired me with Holli and on the very first lesson, I was able to get him outside and have a walk schedule that fit the needs of my household. Since the first lesson we’ve exceeded expectations and were able to dive deeper into his obedience. He has gained a lot of confidence and I feel like I have my sweet boy back again. Finding Maribel was like answer to my prayers and Holli is most definitely our superhero. I don’t know what it is that made me trust them above all the other options but I will say this is the best investment I have made. They have given me peace of mind, lighten the heavy load on my heart and give us our life back. You just can’t put a dollar amount on that. I could not give a higher recommendation. Do yourself and your dog a favor and trust these people. Listen to them and follow through on your end, the results will be there. And just to say it, Holli is the best. She’s a genius.

Holli is the absolute best! From day 1 we have had nothing but improvement in our dogs behavior. We tried reaching out to a few places and never even received call backs. From Day 1 - Sam Ivy has been nothing but professional. They have the system down and their results are incredible.

A great experience with Gina as our trainer! It had been a while since we had a puppy and we forgot how much work they are. We started with Gina the day after our dog came home (8 weeks old) and it has made a world of difference. Doing the training via Zoom makes it easy, portable, and puts the emphasis on the owners and the dog. Some of the best money I have ever spent.

Quantreena was our trainer for our mini labradoodle Bella. We got Bella at 9 weeks old and were having trouble with her jumping on people and barking every time she saw a person or dog. She is a very friendly dog and just wants everyone to notice and pet her. We wanted a well behaved dog that we could take places and not be embarrassed. We are snowbirds who leave Florida in mid May so i needed to find training that would fit our schedule. I was also interested in her becoming a service dog for me. In early March I came upon Sam Ivy Zoom training program that seemed perfect for our needs because we could start the courses in FL and continue them with Quantreena (Treena) in NY! After the first few sessions people were remarking about the change in her already.....she was much calmer and not jumping on them. Treena was very accommodating with our schedule. You can train as many days a week as you want. If something comes up and she has enough notice she will reschedule if possible. If your dog is having a bad day and doesn't want to do anything she will even suggest rescheduling. Treena is very encouraging to you and your dog during training. She does expect you to follow through with practice training between classes. Another great thing about this training is that all classes are video recorded so you can go back and review any class at any time even after all training is completed. I would recommend Sam Ivy Training to anyone looking for a really good training program!

Samivy obedient This is our dog her name is Diamond we noticed she was not listening and following our commands so we went looking for an obedient training we found Samivy and was assigned to Holli Kepschull Who did a great job helping my husband and I to train Diamond we would recommend Samivy Obedience training classes because Diamond have come a long way from chewing up my furniture and any thing she could find to chew on. Thank you Holli for the great training with Diamond our fur baby.

We are absolutely delighted with our training by Holli. Our new pup, Greta, is a rescue dog so she had LOTS of issues to get over and Holli walked with us step by step and now Greta is a very happy and well-behaved girl. Rather than dread our pull-behind walks, our Greta is right next to us and our daily walks are an enjoyable experience

Our dog training with Holli was a great experience. My wife and I are able to manage our dog Diamomd much better. We would recommend the top notch service.

We adopted Rip on June 9. He is a sweet dog, but we realized immediately that he needed serious training. He pulled on walks, tried to chase cars, bikes, people, dogs and also howled at them on walks and while at home. I don't think he had ever been trained. Gina at Sam Ivy to the rescue! Gina explained the program in detail, including the tools we would be sent and how and why they would be used. In only one lesson (on June 12), Rip was able to stay on his "spot". For the pulling and howling, she explained how we could use his collars to teach him to not pull and to calm down. By the middle of the course, Rip was a different dog. By the end, we could walk him with only minimal corrections and feel confident in his actions and how to correct him as needed. He has much better manners while inside and in the yard. We use the techniques we learned to keep him calm with our toddler grandchild and with our 2 cats. Training over Zoom might seem counter-intuitive, but I was comfortable with them because it was clear that we would be learning how to teach Rip. We have had trainers in the home, but I always felt intimidated by them because of course they knew how to make the dog obey. With Gina on a screen, we were the ones actually carrying out the program and that gave me confidence. Gina demonstrated the exercises with her dog and then coached us through them. The sessions are recorded so we can go back and review them. Gina always answered our questions and was encouraging, patient, and quick with pointers and explanations. I really enjoyed working with her. She is a lovely person. I can wholeheartedly recommend Sam Ivy Consultants. I don't think we would have been able to keep Rip without the training they provided.
