Sorry, I’m late posting this, but Gina is one of the best trainers ever, and Kalani had learned a lot from her and she was very patient with me and also with Kalani. Kalani can be very stubborn at times. But it was a very good experience and I recommended to everybody and would do it again.

I contacted Samivy because I needed help. My dog was growling and was biting me occasionally and was snipping at others . I was so afraid of him biting others. I spoke with a guy named Brad and with in 20 minutes or less he sold me a package. I was appointed a trainer who was going to work one on one with me 2x a week. Her name was Hollie. She was awesome. She talked to me at my level and had my dogs best interest at heart. She took her time and explained how and why it would work and assured me how that Buzz would still love me tomorrow. Highly recommend this program and Hollie.

I had an outstanding experience with Halli! From the very first session, it was clear that she is passionate and knowledgeable about dog training. They took the time to understand my dog’s specific needs and tailored the training accordingly. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve seen remarkable improvements in my dog’s behaviour. The trainer’s positive and patient approach made the entire process enjoyable for both of us. I highly recommend SamIvy and Holli to anyone looking to train their dog!

I can’t say enough great things about Holli and the training she provided for me and my chiweenie (chihuahua/dachshund) puppy, Noodle! At just 8 pounds, so many people told me it would be near impossible to train such a small dog, but Holli proved them wrong. She taught me the best tips and tricks to guide Noodle into becoming the obedient little princess she is today. Admittedly, Noodle used to yap for what seemed like FOREVER, got those exited little piddles over ANYTHING, chased our cat all over the house, and wouldn't listen to most requests for a simple sit or stay if there was too much going on around her. Today, all of the classic little dog struggles are GONE, but the sweet sassy puppy personality I love about her is still very much there. The difference in her behavior now compared to some untrained dogs I've seen is incredible. When family visits, they always compliment me on how well-behaved Noodle is compared to their dogs and it’s such a great feeling knowing that all the effort and training paid off! Thank you SamIvy and THANK YOU HOLLI for helping Noodle and me on this journey! You've truly given me the confidence and tools I needed to raise a well-mannered pup. Special shoutout to Holli's bestest boy, Brody, for the beautiful demonstrations during our training sessions.

My sweet border collie loves people and cats but for whatever reason, despises other dogs. Maybe her brothers picked on her. Childhood trauma and all. But after finishing her training with Holli, she confidently just lets other dogs walk by. Even the unfriendly ones. She scoffs. I love her confidence in herself now. And since moving from the country to the city, walks have become more enjoyable. Thank you Holli for all of your kind patience.

If you're considering paying for a trainer and you have the means, do it! Sam Ivy is has a high price point but it is worth it. We joined Holli's team early for our pup Murphy. She is incredibly knowledgable and her expertise has not only made our guy a well rounded pup, but also helped calm our new puppy parent nerves. Highly recommend SamIvy, Holli, and their comprehensive package.

This training program was a great start to training our puppy to be a great family dog. The format was new to me, since it is all virtual. However, the concept that our dog, Buster, now responds to me instead of the trainer is magical! We had Holli and she was fantastic! Her dog Brody is a big help too!

Nate at Sam Ivy has provided eight sessions of invaluable advice and training for my six-year-old mutt. I came to Nate with questions about how to create more structure in my dog's life, soothe his phobia of having blood drawn, and optimize boarding arrangements and vet visits. Nate offered helpful solutions from day one and has since continued to advise on strategies for implementation. He's especially great at advising on the best products to buy and best practices for safety. Being able to bring all my questions to an expert dog owner who loves his dogs as much as I love mine has been worth very penny. We hope to work with him again soon.
