Sammy has learned so much from Holly , She has to be one of the very best! Our Sammy has come along way with his training and when we are in session he can’t wait to impress her. Without her we would have never known how smart our boy Sammy really is. Thank you Holly, we can’t wait for graduation!!!

SamIvy had been a wonderful experience for me and my dogs! Hollie is amazing to work with and is always very encouraging, patient and knowledgable. I used to dread someone coming to the front door and walking both dogs was such a stressful experience. Now I feel so much more confident and the situations I used to dread are so much more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this program!

Ryan with team Sam Ivy was an absolute wonderful training experience!!! How Long is a wonderful service dog and has excelled with Ryan training me! I was not sure about online zoom training, however Ryan made it feel so personal like she was in our home! Thank you Ryan & team Sam Ivy.

I rescued Bernie from an Amish Puppy mill he was there 3 1/2 years no human contact bed or toys. He was just a business for the Amish, and he was the worst behavioral dog I’ve ever had. I contacted Sam Ivy & can he listen to my needs he had a perfect match for me and Bernie her name is Holli. She is the Best & very knowledgeable. She listened to all of my concerns taught me to have patience with Bernie’s needs, mentioned he needs consistency & guidance. Holli trained me well so I can train my fur baby. One of my first goals is for Bernie to walk on a leash. We have more good days than bad days. Baby steps with Bernie he has come a long way with Holli’s expertise. Thank You so much Holli from the bottom of my heart

We turned to Sam Ivy after some dominance issues cropped up in our pack. We worked with Holi and she led us through making some dramatic changes in the way we related to our dogs. She helped us face our fears and take control. The journey is just starting, and Holi's flexibility, support via text between lessons, and her no nonsense, firm guidance has been instrumental in setting new habits that help us all.

We have 4 dogs in our home so it is constant chaos the majority of the time as none had any formal training. Our youngest is a boxer who is 8 months old and new to the pack. We had two attacks between our boxer and one of our other dogs, a frenchton who is 3 years old. Our Frenchton has always been on the anxious side and jealous but I never thought in a million years he would attack our new pup as they had been playing normally for 4 months prior to these incidents. I panicked after the second attack and was ready to just give the puppy away in fear that they could never live in the same home together peacefully. In a last ditch effort, I decided to reach out to our vet for her recommendation and she suggested Sam Ivy. I was very hesitant with the whole virtual training but I have to say, it was convenient and worked just like have a physical person in our home. We had Gina as our trainer and she provided us with a wealth of information and encouragement throughout the whole process. She was always available for any questions we may have and continues to be available even though our classes are complete. We are astonished at the changes in our dogs behavior in such a short amount of time. Are they perfect? No, but with continued practice with the skills Gina provided we will get even better. I think the self confidence I gained from the training is worth the money alone. I was afraid to be alone with my dogs in fear that another incident would happen and I’d have zero control. But now I feel I’m in control and the dogs view me as a leader. We will eventually train our other 2 dogs through the course and hopefully have a house full of well behaved dogs. I can’t thank Sam Ivy enough, especially Gina for helping our family get through this difficult time.

After hiring two different trainers during Lily's first year, we finally found a trainer who changed our lives. Ryan at SamIvy was a godsend. She was professional, encouraging, and totally supportive during the 12 sessions - and always available. Lily is like a new dog. People are amazed when I tell them about the success we had with a Zoom-based trainer. But this method really taught us how to do the training and, because we met twice a week, ensured that we did our homework between sessions. I can't give enough praise to Ryan and to the SamIvy method.

Our boxer, Frankie, had become very reactive to anyone he could see out our back window, and would excitedly jump on people who came inside that he was happy to see. He was also nervous going on walks. Holli, our trainer, was very thorough and articulate when explaining Frankie’s low confidence and teaching us how stop his unwanted behaviors. I was skeptical about training via video, but it actually worked great. Frankie has stopped barking and scaring the pool guy, stopped jumping on guests, and he’s walking past scary lawn maintenance trucks more confidently. Our training with Frankie will continue even though our work with Holli is finished, but I feel that we have the knowledge and tools to keep Frankie on the right track.
