We are so glad to have found SamIvy. Since the beginning Brad was super professional yet very friendly and assigned us to Holli who was been an amazing trainer! We are so happy to be working with Holli, she’s the best! Here is our fur baby enjoying a little sunshine ☀️

Holli of SamIvy is truly an angel! She is so knowledgeable and patient, and an awesome expert dog trainer as well. When we got our 2 month old rottie pup, we decided that getting him & the family properly trained with the experts would do us all some good. Our pup took to the commands quickly week after week, and did so well. I am truly impressed. I highly recommend Holli at SamIvy for all your dog training needs. Also, our pup is so freakin adorable! I had to add pics of him receiving his favorite belly rubs from his cousins (see attached).

My rambunctious little terrier pound puppy really needed to learn some control over his behaviors, and my training with SamIvy was great. Virtual training was a very convenient option for me, they provide the collars, leash, and tripod for the video setup, and my trainer, Gina, was awesome. He’s learned skills that frankly I thought would be impossible (like Spot training - so useful!) and has improved on many of the destructive puppy things that puppies do. They say you’re not really training the dog, you’re training the human, and I feel like I now know how to continue with things that still need some work or to address anything new that arises. And I can still message Gina anytime. Plus, training was a lot of fun!

Hello my name is Adrienne and I have 3 female dogs. Each one with their own personality and were a challenge. First let me start off by saying that when I first had a video call with Sam I was sold after 10 minutes. All my dogs were adopted. My dogs had prior training where they went away for 2 weeks. That was a waste of money. Now Gina the dog trainer who trained me so I could train my dog was fabulous. Each session we worked with each dog. After the first session I saw a difference. Jackie no longer uses wee wee pads. She is 14. She is a Chihuahua Jack Russle mix. Buffy the first dog had issues listening. Lexi loved to roll when I would walk her. They each had a few more issues. I was trained so I could train my girls. Everyday sticking to the training them . For example spot- having them sit and stay until I said “ok”. Letting them know it’s ok now to walk outside after I gave the command to go. Reminding them that no means no. Sometimes I had to put them in the cage and they learned that that’s where they go when they didn’t listen. Both people and dogs are not perfect sometimes they might act up but again going back to repetition and consistency. Thank you Sam Ivy Thank you Gina

Holli is exceptional! I'm grateful she helped me learn how to train my dogs. She truly loves dogs and listens to my concerns. Holli always makes sure to respond whenever I have questions, so I truly appreciate it. It gives me peace of mind knowing that she cares just as much as I do.

Ohhh is SamIvy worth every penny!! I loved our trainer Holli Kepschull & her famous assistant, Brodie! I have a 1 year old American Bully and a 6 year old mixed fur baby. My 6 yr old was super reactive to everything and my 1 yr old picked up all her bad habits along with excessive leash pulling. My bully had recently been pumping his chest around the house lately and I knew then and there I needed to make sure I had a complete handle on his behavior and strict boundaries since we are a multi dog home and he is so much bigger than my oldest. Holli was extremely knowledgeable, encouraging, patient and understanding within the whole process! She was there whenever I needed some extra advice outside of our scheduled training and always kept that door open if I needed her. I am heading into my final week and I see massive improvements in both pups for example no more excessive leash pulling and not nearly as reactive as they use to be. Holli had definitely helped build a more solid connection between my dogs and I as they look to me for direction and guidance. All in all, Holli and SamIvy will have you and your pups walking out the house feeling extremely confident that everything is under control. I would highly recommend Holli & SamIvy to others. Thank you Holli for everything!

So, our four year old half pit bull, half hound started getting aggressive with the family after a year or more of no problems. Though he caused no permanent damage we couldn’t help but feel that the situation was escalating and began to think about whether we’d have to euthanize him. Luckily we found Sam Ivy. It’s not magic. It’s no panacea. But, if you follow the training and stick to it, it can bring your aggressive dog to heel. In our case the training saved our dog. He’s still got some problems but now WE have the tools to deal with them. Our trainer, Nate, was there for us when there were rough patches and he was always willing to talk us through anything.

I have an eight-year-old Maltese purebred that I got at four years old. She had no formal training and I was having problems with her peeing and pooping in the house. I reside between Cape Cod, Massachusetts and Naples, Florida. Because of their reputation I chose to get training through Sam Ivy. Gina, who has been working with this company for 10 years, was my trainer. We met twice a week for 12 weeks and I have a completely different dog now. She is crate, trained, and actually loves the crate. She is incredibly obedient, and we’ve had no more accidents. The change in her behavior exceeds My expectations. She is now getting certified as a good citizen and will be enrolled in the companion animal program in the fall. None of this would’ve been possible without the expertise of Gina and Sam Ivy. I am more than satisfied… I am overjoyed!
