We just finished two levels of training, Proper Pack Behavior and Intermediate Training, with Sam Ivy K9 Training and their wonderful trainer, Jackie. We had a wonderful experience and would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a dog trainer. Their services are worth every single penny. We have two rescue dogs, Asha (almost 2 years old, Catahoula Labrador) and Chloe (6 years old, Chihuahua Mix). Our main concern was truly Chloe's barking. It didn't matter if it was a person, a car, a knock or even if the wind blew too hard - she would bark incredibly loudly and aggressively for an extensive period of time without any way to calm her down. This really hindered us from taking her out to festivals, dog-friendly restaurants, long walks or even opening the door to our patio to let fresh air in. After only a few visits, this was taken care of. Now she very rarely barks at all no matter if we are home or out and about. She is very well behaved and calm. Asha had trouble walking on a leash without pulling and had some confidence issues. She has been more of a skittish dog since we adopted her. She was a stellar student and has come leaps and bounds with her walking and has learned an extensive set of new skills. We are so happy with the investment we made with Sam Ivy. From the consult, through graduation, everyone has been so nice to work with and Jackie, our trainer, was absolutely amazing. Training sessions are done one on one, they come to your home and work with your schedule. It is not only about learning to train your dog, you will also receive training. We cannot say enough nice things about our experience and how far our two pups have come. If you are looking for a trainer - give them a call!
