Our fearful 2 1/2 year old rescue lab mix was becoming more and more reactive to people coming in the house, reactive to people or dogs walking up to the fence, fearful of cars on walks, barking excessively when approached by people and even nipping them. We were using positive only reinforcement training with mild gains but the minute we were outside of a super controlled environment, he would lose his mind and all knowledge of commands. We were to the point of looking to rehome him. We found Sam Ivy K9 and decided to try this approach to training, focusing on reestablishing proper pack behavior. We are beyond ecstatic to say we have encountered several people outside the fence, have passed people on the street, passed cats outside, stopped and talked to new people outside, and no reaction!! He is so much less stressed! It’s like he’s sighing a sigh of relief that he doesn’t need to take control of situations and that we’ve got it handled for him! It was a little adjustment at first to incorporate some of the new ways of life in to our routine but definitely worth it! I highly recommend the program!

My partner and I needed help with introducing our dogs to each other before I moved in, all with a time frame of a month. Her dog is reactive to other dogs, and my dog would become unfriendly when he got too close. With the help of our virtual trainer, Haley, we were able to have both dogs calm and well behaved in both the backyard and within the house. It was great having the option for virtual training. We had a tight time frame we needed to dogs to be friendly by. Having Haley not present let her see how our dogs behaved in live time and was able to coach us how to train our dogs. We are very thankful for Sam Ivy. Our precious babies are now comfortable with each other.

They are the best, they trained my two Siberian Huskies and I am very happy with the trainer and the training, their service is professional and highly efficient, I'm happy I hired Sam Ivy to train my pups!

We had a terrific experience with Sam Ivey K9 training and especially with our training instructor Mr. Joel Frawley. We have a high drive German Shepherd puppy who was extremely hard to train in my usual way which worked well on two previous GSDs. We learned a lot of very valuable methods to continue Nikkos training. We can’t speak highly enough about this training and Joel who is a professional in every sense of the word. His patience and care for Nikko was apparent from the start to finish. Nikko is always excited when we tell him Joel is coming. I give Sam Ivy and Joel my highest recommendation and suggest anyone who needs Professional training for their pups for any reason to contact them. We have already passed this information to friends who have seen the astonishing difference in Nikko and the in house training is a huge plus. You won’t regret a decision to go with this outstanding company and instructors.

Hi, I cant say enough about Sam Ivey K-9 consultants. We worked hand and hand with Thuylinh Nguyen who is amazing. I have a very sweet 8 year old Shepard/ American dingo mix who aggressively barked at anything that moved outside her yard as well as if she seen another dog you would think she was trying to attack it. As well as a 12 month old large and very nearotic 12 month old German Shepard who was impossible to walk. Through 12 training sessions my dogs have transformed into well behaved dogs. I have been taught how to properly handle a leash as well as correct and give praise to my girls. I couldn't be happier. Thank you Thuylinh Nguyen

Amazing experience! My dog's philosophy is that every canine and human is simply a friend I haven't met yet. Wonderful, but very hard to keep him in line. I was fighting him and "being walked" all the time. After 12 sessions with Sam Ivy, I literally have a new dog, and am so excited. I had no idea virtual/online training could be so effective. I hesitated that a Zoom call could help me train my obstinate, stubborn 9 year old Basset Hound. But the transformation was incredible. He's literally a different dog. I can take him with me on the Riverwalk, to babysit my niece or anywhere else. If you are at the end of your rope with your pup, definitely give these guys a call. They were incredibly professional and respectful and helpful. Thank you!!!
