Excellent, service and results. I was stressed out and at my wits end with my pups behavior and Claudia helped transform her into a perfect lady. I highly recommend Sam Ivy K-9.

I absolutely loved our experience with Sam Ivy and having Ariel as our trainer. Our family adopted an 8 month old, high drive, very confident, female German Shepherd named Sadie. This was our family's 3rd German Shepherd - 4th for my husband - and we thought we knew it all! Fast forward to Sadie at 15 months!! Sadie is fun and silly but we could not get rid of her ALPHA behavior. She was a barking nightmare on walks!! Each of our family members were getting so frustrated going on walks with her. I work at a veterinary clinic and have certainly heard about many different training techniques. I'd seen other friends and employees use Sam Ivy with great success. Honestly, the cost was a concern and I was still sceptical it would actually work for us and be worth the money. When we signed up for the program, we met our trainer, Ariel at our home. (I LOVE that the training is done in your own home.) When we opened the door and saw this tiny, little trainer (Ariel) we thought there would be no way she could tame our wild Sadie! Well let me say, the system WORKS and Ariel showed us how!!! It doesn't matter how short or tall you are. What matters is that the owners be disciplined and consistent themselves. Pay attention to the details! Your dog wants order too and is happy knowing you'll be the Alpha. The amount of effort you put into it is what you will get. We have now completed the program. In hindsight, I wish I'd signed up sooner. I do believe that the cost is correct. They have great trainers. Part of your cost includes a pinch collar, an e-collar and a leather leash. Best of all, they come into your home to assess YOUR lifestyle. They find out how to make it work for your family. **The e-collar is very strictly regulated. They don't actually give it to you unless they believe you are ready to use it correctly. It has very, very limited but effective use. It was only used for a severe behavior where there was danger involved. I am 100% against animal cruelty so I felt the need to clarify that.** I also want to push high marks and kudos to Ariel, our trainer!!! Ariel is WONDERFUL!! I loved her attitude. She was firm, disciplined, consistent, always on time and really funny once you get her going. If you have cats, she'll know if you're really doing your homework based on how comfortable your cats become in your home. Our cats are much happier now! We almost gave Ariel our little grandma kitty as a thank you gift but....we decided against it! :). We really loved having Ariel in our home and we'll really miss her. She's awesome!!!

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!
