Murphy, our Goldendoodle, was sweet but very energetic. He needed to learn basic commands and manners. We needed professional help. Our neighbor recommended Sam Ivy Consultstants. I reviewed their on-line information and decided to contact them for a free in-house consultation.
We decided to engage in a contract with Sam Ivy Consultstants for help with our basic issues of Murphy coming when called, walking on a leash, spot, sit, stay, down and just general manners.
Erica became our lifeline to a puppy that was a pleasure to be around. During the course of his training
proper pack behavior, leash position and intermediate on/off leash, he learned all the skills needed to be a lovable 52 pound, 10 month old companion puppy.
There was a concern about the cost of the program but it was worth every penny. The training program was expertly planned and executed by our amazing professional trainer, Erica. She bonded immediately with Murphy and patiently coordinated each lesson to his specific needs. The sessions were an hour long, which was perfect because Murphy worked hard and was exhausted after each one. He loved his training with Erica and excelled at each one.
Erica gave us progress reports after each session and homework to practice. This was very important because it was a team effort. The specific practice lessons helped Murphy to continue to master new skills. Erica would always text to make sure our sessions were on. She maintained a great two-way communication with us, which was appreciated.
In conclusion, The Sam Ivy training by Erica was an excellent experience that far exceeded our expectations. Murphy graduated today and we will be forever grateful to Erica, who will always
have a spot in our hearts. Erica was the consummate trainer: experienced, paced, knowledgeable, warm, loving, professional, competent, creative, reliable, trustworthy, motivated, and all-round exceptional. We are extremely grateful to her for training Murphy to be an outstanding companion. We are honored to give the highest possible praise to this program and Erica.
Sincerely, Don, Colleen & Murphy Irwin
