Amazing!! We were having a few issues with Jackson after adopting him, such as walking properly on the leash, getting distracted by the tiniest things, or even just paying attention to us sometimes. Our trainer Ariel is amazing, she taught us how to teach our own dog. Now I get compliments everyday how well mannered, well behaved, and what a gentleman he is! He is like a whole new dog, would recommend to everybody! Thank you guys :)

In a word - excellent. The training program is simple and very effective. It's designed for anyone to follow and implement - step by step. We tried other training programs in the past, without good results - the other programs were just too complicated to fit into our busy family routine and work on a consistent basis. As a busy family man himself, Sam understands this, and has developed a common sense approach that dovetails perfectly into the lives of busy families and is truly workable. Our dog has quickly transformed into the ideal family pet. Our favorite part is "spot" training - awesome. Our friends and family cannot believe it's the same dog! I only wish we had called sooner!

Our expectations of Lolo's training were more than exceeded. Ryann has done a wonderful job with all 3 of us. In 5 short weeks we have seen a total transformation in Lolo's behavior. We are now doing things I never thought possible. Didn't know we could love her more than we did! Thanks for the great experience!!

Our new black lab puppy Tusco is a high energy and a highly confident dog. He really believed he was in charge of the house! My husband and I have had other dogs so we were no strangers to puppy behavior, however Tusco was especially disruptive and destructive. He constantly nipped at me and caused bruising. Housebreaking wasn't going to well either. Having read everything about puppy behavior on the web...'they grow out of it'...it wasn't getting better, it was getting worse, and he was getting bigger. I am so happy we decided to go with Sam Ivy K9 Consultants. Tusco is becoming a wonderful and obedient dog! Jackie, our trainer, has taught us not only how to deal with the bad behavior, but also how to enjoy walks with our boy without dragging us down the street. He no longer jumps on guests and now acts like a little gentleman. We feel we have the confidence and tools necessary to handle whatever comes our way. I am glad we started training with Tusco in the puppy phase! If you have a high energy and highly confident dog that is beyond simple training...the folks at Sam Ivy K9 can help you. Jackie is fantastic and we all enjoyed working with her. Our little boy Tusco has changed for the better! ...and ask them about the 'spot' training. It is awesome!

We have two boxer pups, Brodie who is 20 months and Bentley who is 6 months. We had previously used 3 other trainers for Brodie, none of which were able to help control his anxiety and dominance issues. During a google search I found Sam Ivy's website. Admittedly I was a little hesitant with the program, as it his would be our 4th trainer, however, we agreed to take the plunge. Our trainer, Claudia, showed up the first day with both dogs out of control..... excessive barking when she rang the doorbell, jumping on her when she came inside, whining for attention, etc. Walking Brodie was a chore at that time, constantly pulling and barking. Now as face our last appointment tomorrow night with Claudia, our boys are completely different dogs. Both sit on spot when he doorbell rings, walking has turned into a pleasant time with our dogs, both know basic obedience, and most importantly, both dogs are calmer and more respectful. All of these things I could not imagine possible before this training. Claudia was patient and took the time each week to work with each issue, with and without distractions. The best thing is, both of our dogs maintained their very unique personalities, while learning in a very regimented style. We have our sanity back, and truly enjoying our pups! Thank you Claudia and Sam Ivy!

We are so thankful to Claudia and the Sam Ivy team. Claudia was our trainer and she was wonderful to work with. Our boys loved her and you could tell that she loved them just as much. When our boys first started training it was hard to do anything because all they wanted to do was play with each other and had no interest in listening to us. Claudia was so patient with us and the boys and coached us every step of the way. I had the hardest time taking the boys to the store or vet because they were constantly pulling on the leashes. Having two 60lb dogs tugging on you isn't easy as you can imagine. Now we can take our boys anywhere and they are so well behaved. They have both completed obedience training, off leash training, and service dog training. We can't thank you enough for the time you spent with our family.
