Great experience! We went to Sam Ivy because we loved our dog very much but honestly we just didn’t like him anymore because of his bad habits, such as peeing on our furniture and just not listening and following our direction. Having a dog was something we started to question if we really wanted! Sam Ivy taught us how to take back control of our house by teaching us the techniques to get our dog under control. We are back to loving our pup and enjoying every minute with him. Thank you Sam Ivy and our wonderful consultant Nate!!

We went through advanced off leash training and service dog training through Sam Ivy K9 Consultants. Our trainer, Maribel, was very professional, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond throughout training. We were provided with all the tools needed to properly train our dog Winnie. Thank you so much Maribel and Sam Ivy for this amazing experience and opportunity! -Hannah and Hunter

My trainer, Quantrena, was amazing!! My senior dog had recently become aggressive towards other dogs and this training helped her tremendously, as well as with obedience. I liked the course style, I was the one teaching my dog while Quantrena was teaching me how to train her in a 1:1 virtual style. The class helped my dog trust and respect me even more. ❤️

My wife and I purchased the Sam Ivy Consulting Pack behavior training in dire need of help regulating our 11mo old Rottweilers behavior. With trying to balance work, a new born, and a puppy the stresses had my wife and I completely over whelmed and on verge to re-home our dog (2nd child). I was very hesitant of the virtual learning setting but at the end made COMPLETE sense. You learn so you can then implement and not have someone else doing it! Our trainer Nate was awesome, very understanding, and most importantly patient throughout the whole training. I am a visual learner and Nate clearly communicated the training material and lead by example. The best was getting a consultation with each session and combining personal day activities how to properly be the leader of your pack! Would highly recommend Sam Ivy program to anyone needing help with their 4 legged companions!!

We were skeptical about a dog training program that was fully on zoom but the program had great reviews so decided to give it a shot. It was a little awkward at first but very quickly we got to know our trainer Thuylinh (we call her T) very well and always looked forward to our sessions. We rescued our dog Andy from a woman who could no longer care for him. He was nervous and protective and ended up biting our neighbors little girl(not bad) when she ran into our yard to chase a balloon. He was afraid to go into the backyard and would hide under our bed if he thought he was going out there. After our training he is much more confident and friendly and loves to hang out in the backyard. Like I mentioned earlier, the idea of a zoom training program put us off a bit but it’s actually great. You don’t have a stranger training your dog, it’s in your own home and they train you to train your dog so there’s no gap in training, everything moved at our and our dogs pace. Between our sessions T was always available to help us and we consider her a friend even though we haven’t met in person. We highly recommend this program. It is quality, convenient and comprehensive. It was everything we didn’t know we wanted in a training program. Jeff, Nina and Andy S.

Just finished the puppy training course. I am so happy that I signed my dog up for this training course. They helped me with crate training, leash walking and puppy biting/nipping. I couldn’t be any happier with my trainer Holli she was amazing!

Sam Ivy K9 Consultants is truly a special program. My wife and I decided to adopt a new pitty puppy and realized now more than ever would be a great time to refine our older dog's training and start fresh with our newest addition. Sam Ivy's team, really knows how to make the clients feel comfortable. Our trainer, Holli is absolutely fantastic! Our puppy has been making incredible strides in just the 6 weeks we’ve been in this course. She started the program not having focus on the leash when she walked, to not even walking with the prong collar. With Holli’s help we tried different methods and in just 3 weeks Bella went from having the prong collar flipped prongs out to the prongs in and is heeling like a champ! Bella now keeps eye contact and focus and really is making amazing progress. The biggest concern for my wife and I was the virtual aspect, but once again they are so willing to work with us and do what’s best for us and the dogs at the end of the day. I think our biggest praise to our trainer Holli is that she gave us confidence in what we are doing with our dogs. There were times before the program that we would get frustrated that there was no light at the end of the tunnel with our dog's training. But Holli has really turned that around and let us know that things can get better. We both feel extremely confident and comfortable to take our dogs out of the house without having to worry how they will behave. There is so much more I could add but overall I would recommend this program to anyone that even thinks about dog training, especially those who have pitties!

Wanted to share our story to hopefully help someone like us make the right decision in selecting Sam Ivy for training! Those that went through the program before us and left reviews definitely helped us make the decision for a consult and once we met our trainer Holli, we knew we were in the right place! If you don’t have time to read further… just know 100/10 would recommend, ESPECIALLY if you have pitties like us. Holli K. is AMAZING, we are so thankful for her support to help us achieve the goals we’ve set for our 2 pitties. Almost 4 years ago now, we adopted Bleu our blue nose, who was the most chill bundle of joy puppy I had ever seen. Initially my husband and I enrolled him into some basic puppy classes, took him to the dog park often and on errands with us for exposure and training opportunities. Bleu adapted well in the first year and a half but when Covid hit we had to cut back on several of those exposure opportunities. We did more walks around the neighborhood instead. Which ended up creating bad experiences for Bleu. We always kept him on leash during these walks but there were several instances where off leash dogs would run up and attack or attempt to corner Bleu while on these walks. After 4 attacks in a short period of time, Bleu became very anxious to go anywhere or be around other dogs while on his walk. Pitties already attract a lot of negative stares (even though they are the absolute sweetest dogs). Bleu’s anxiety drew even more attention while on walks. It took time to address the anxious aggression created from such events but we still weren’t where we wanted to be when it came to our on leash walks. We wanted to find a trainer that could help Bleu focus on walks and refine his current skills so that we could work towards off leash training and eventually service dog training. As we go through this program with our trainer Holli, my husband and I gain more and more confidence and peace of mind with each lesson. We wanted our dogs and ourselves to feel comfortable on their walks, be able to focus when distraction is present and enjoy the different adventures we hope to take as a family. I was soooo skeptical about the virtual aspect of this program and wasn’t sure if it would have any positive impact. I can honestly say that it does have a positive impact that creates results. The proof is in the pudding, and because of this program so far, Bleu is able to interact with his new puppy sister Bella (our black and white pittie) without any anxious aggression, we can go on longer walks where his focus is on us not the barking dogs in the window or sidewalks, and is more refined in heeling. The Sam Ivy programs are an investment, but an investment that’s worth it because you are given the tools, support and confidence to achieve the goal(s) you set.
