Joel with Sam Ivy is amazing! He took our crazy Chesapeake Bay Retriever pup and helped us turn her into the best service dog in town in less than 3 months! She goes everywhere with us even when we fly! He worked with us and our little kids. Even they can now walk her without any pulling!

I chose Sam Ivy K9 based on their reviews to correct my rescued dog extreme barking behavior. The day of his evaluation he barked for about 45 min. He is a stray dog rescued from the streets, apparently never lived in a house, and was abused to the point that his tongue was completely cut off. Jewelle was our wonderful trainer and from the first interaction she was able to calm our dog. She knew exactly how to deal with the issues that we presented to her. She was very knowledgeable and I can say that I have a complete different dog now. He is calm, respond to basic commands and does not bark at every car or person that passes our street. He learned how to walk on leash and going out with him is more enjoyable.

Our trainer Jewelle has been amazing! Our dogs are under control and well behaved. It had been a life saver for our home.

Ever since we chose this company to help us with our English Bulldogs aggressive behaviour all I can say is I'm very satisfied. Claudia the trainer taught us what k9 language is all about. We thought it was going to be impossible for our dog to learn but he did. Their program is amazing and worth it. Great job Claudia and Sam Ivy. Thank you.

I had joel as my trainer and he was great! Within just 1 week I already saw a change in my Australian shepherd Diego's behavior. He used to jump on people alot and pull on the leash so much but now he is perfect! All my friends and family always tell me how much of a good change they see in my boy and I'm so proud to say I am now a owner of a dog I can take out in public without him pulling, barking and jumping all over people and other dogs. I would definitely recommend Sam ivy k9 consultants!

We couldn't be more thrilled with the results we got with the training of our 9-week old pup, who was more than a little rambunctious and defiant. Jackie was great--she provided exceptionally personalized attention to not only our dog's particular training needs but also to us in terms of being the best parents we could be. We saw tangible results after only 4 sessions. Highly recommended!!! Eric and Jeremie - Ft. Lauderdale, FL

Would definitely recommend. We came to Sam Ivy as a last ditch effort to correct aggressive behavior between my two pit bulls. Before beginning training, we were isolating both dogs in seperate parts of the house and living in a switch-and-pray-for-peace type of method. Now we have three little angels, who get along and have better behavioral habits than ever. No more leash pulling, running out of the door or digging holes in the back yard and best of all, no more aggression. Miguel was awesome, and was great at answering any questions we had about anything. Super professional and always on time.

In September I adopted a 6 year old mix from the shelter to give my 11 year old some companionship He was pretty aloof when I met him but he was beautiful and calmer and the right age. The shelter seemed a little nervous adopting him out. But I took a chance. I got him home and he was very nervous and completely attached to me. To the point he wouldn’t let Sky get any attention from me. They were growling and snappy. At one point he “took her down” although she didn’t seem phased by it. At different points they each seemed scared of the other. I started looking into training because Max was now family so we were all going to get along! Max was also a puller and despite their not getting along in the house, Sky had suddenly decided her big brother would be back up for her to growl at all the neighborhood dogs. Not awesome! Alexis to the rescue. Sky the 11 took a little more time but she caught on quicker than I would have thought considering she’s been the little princess her whole life and now she actually had to have rules. As of today they are best friends, walk nicely without a pinch collar and mostly don’t bark at other dogs :-). The biggest thing I got though was training for myself. I am much more confident that I can handle them in any situation! Thanks Alexis!
