Our trainer Alexis was excellent! Alexis and our puppy Gigi connected well, she was always excited to see Alexis. Alexis made our training easy, she is flexible and makes the training very personalized to our puppy and us. GiGi was a good puppy before, now that she has finished training she is excellent. We receive complements all time time on how well behaved she is. I highly recommend Sam Ivy training and you should definitely request Alexis!

Let me start with how amazing of a company sam ivy is in Fort Lauderdale. I had Paula and she was amazing she bonded with the dog as long as myself I had just moved from New Jersey and looked around and instantly felt they were my best choice their prices are extremely reasonable and affordable. They stay with your dog if your sessions are finished and your not satisfied and I LOVE that it’s at home training and they train not only you but your dog . Extremely recommend them my pitbul went from being slightly aggressive towards strangers and now I can walk him anywhere with confidence.

We had no idea that Mirabel could assist us in training our Labradoodle as quickly and with such results. We had just moved from a large lot that she had to her own to a high rise building with so many dogs. It was a bit of culture shock for her to have to share elevators, hallways and doorways. She and we owners were getting a bit anxious. Our dog was also showing a bit of aggressiveness to our surprise. I googled dog trainers and after much research we chose Sam Ivy. Our doodle isn’t as anxious and her aggressive behavior is fading away. And we owners have a much better peace of mind. Thanks Mirabel

Best decision we ever made as pet-parents! We have had many dogs before, but we knew we needed some help with this one. I truly cannot believe the difference it has made! If you follow their plan it will work! Our trainer, Maribel was amazing! She is professional, knowledgable, and very passionate about what she does. Worth every penny. Highly recommend!

Not sure where to start, but we had an absolutely incredible experience. Our two dogs are rescues at about 2 years old and we had just recently moved to the St Pete/ Tampa area in June from CO. Our dogs had created a very large weight on our lives and we had delayed getting them trained for so long because we had no idea whether it would really work or not. We had looked at a few programs but once we found sam Ivy online and read some of the testimonies, it seems all too similar to our situation and we could identify with many of the “before” stories and it gave us hope that maybe we would have a chance to have “good dogs” someday.. all too often I received the “Who’s walking who” joke all around the neighborhood. They pulled, barked, couldn’t sit still. It had gotten worse as they had gotten older and we feared as their aggression started to amp up that they may be a liability to others despite how much we loved them and how sweet they could be with us seperatley. We lost so much furniture due to our jack Russell / boxer mix aggressive chewing and anxiety, and there was so much stress in so many areas of our lives caused by them. We truly were feeling tested every time people came and stayed with us in our house and we felt embarrassed as they acted out. They were jumping all over, humming each other and more and more it felt like we were living in their house.. we had tried seemingly every training tactic we had heard or read about.. insert Sam Ivy.. he came to our house and assured us we could turn things around if we put in the time and effort...we were hooked once we could see the research and evidence and felt that this was truly the right move for our family, we signed up for the Intermediate On Leash training and trainer Miguel —- wow, we LOVE our dogs! Three months later, we feel like we have our lives back and actually love coming home to our pups! The foundation of how the course is created is research based and with a high integetry approach on how to learn how to engage with your dogs..We were able to establish solid respect from our dogs we never had before which enabled us to take their behavior and obedience to an entirely new level. zero destruction anymore, our walks are enjoyable, our dogs are HAPPIER (of course we are too), and we are now getting compliments from strangers on how good our dogs are. They’re obedience is impressive and their tricks and spot training are just icing on the cake. Our only regret is we wish we had done this sooner. Thank you very much Miguel & Sam Ivy, you are the best!

Sam Ivy is AMAZING!!! First off, I was never a dog person. My wife wanted a new puppy so bad to add to the family and I was very reluctant about it, but you know what they say “Happy Wife, Happy Life”. After completing the intermediate on-leash program, I genuinely have been converted to a Dog Lover. When we first picked up our Doodle Scarlett, we were excited but anxiety quickly set in after the accidents in the house and the nipping and biting. It got to the point where our two children (7 and 9) did not want anything to do with the dog and would literally cry because of the jumping and the biting. That’s when we reached out to Sam Ivy. Our Trainer Miguel exceeded our expectations, worked with our busy schedules, and gave us such peace of mind about the entire process. Our kids love to be with Scarlett now, and would get excited when they knew Miguel was coming over for training. His love for dogs was evident and we are thankful for him and the entire Sam Ivy staff.

Highly recommend. We had Alexis as our trainer for our 4 year old pup and she was fantastic! Very knowledgeable and friendly, she gave us tools we can use for life.

Horrible dog perfect after 2 sessions with Marybelle P. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes. Now Tucker can be a positive part of our family.
