I decided to pick Sam Ivy as my first ever dog training company because it was the company most recommended by others on Google for dog aggression and training in general. My dog went from terrified of other people approaching me or her (she would growl) to simply ignoring the stranger's existence thanks to our trainer, Alexis. She was very patient with Rini and it was very surprising to me that they instantly became best friends within two training sessions when before, Rini would never allow any stranger near her or in the home without growling and barking. It has put my mind at ease knowing my dog will not be as stressed around other people and how to handle her correctly. We did Proper Pack Behavior Training and it has turned her into a much more obedient and happy dog. I am thinking of moving onto the next set of lessons! Thank you so much Sam Ivy and Alexis for being wonderful to work with.

We hired Sam Ivy to have Miguel train our Rhodesian Ridgeback and we could not be happier.

I looked into a few trainers here in South FL, and ended up going with Sam Ivy. I'm not going to lie that I was not warry. I had a skittish pup that I could not control, and I feared we would never want to leave the apartment. After 4 weeks of training and a lot of work on my part! My pup and I can go on long walks, and in those moment's that he gets skittish I'm able to control him rather then me making it worse. Kudos to Sam and Claudia! Thanks much, Tiffany, Ruby & Taz!

Five stars is not enough... Sam Ivy K9 Consultants is a great company for getting results! Our trainer Jackie Ingraffia is ideally gracious, friendly and stern with us. We wanted our dog to be manageable around our home and in public. We have achieved both goals! Jackie's patience with us and Spirit has been very rewarding for all! We have completed Proper Pack Behavior and Intermediate On-Leash Behavior. Onward to the next program in a few months!

Gina is an excellent trainer! We did proper pack training with Bella. We did spot training and leash training. I never used to be able to walk her on a leash; she would pull and go in all directions. Now she walks next to me with no problems! We also worked on her barking. She now hardly barks at all at the doorbell. I would definitely recommend Sam Ivy to anyone looking to properly train their furry friends!

We began looking for a trainer for our 6 month old blue heeler, Kona because we were getting ready to move to Colorado and we wanted her to be better with listening to us and obeying our commands when on hikes, out on the lake, etc. She was never a bad dog to begin with but she pulled on the leash when we walked and thought it was a game when we would try to get her to come inside from the backyard. Though Sam Ivy training was a bit pricy, we felt it would be a good investment if it meant not having to worry about our dog's safety when outdoors. We were very lucky to have Alexis as our trainer. Kona instantly took to her and would always get excited to see her, she really seemed to want to make her proud. Alexis was very easy to talk to and helped guide us with how to gain Kona's respect. She explained the reasoning behind everything we were doing and was very flexible with our schedule. Kona became a much better listener as a result of our training and I would recommend Sam Ivy to anyone who wants to take their dog's training seriously.

This is seriously the best money I have ever spent! I was having behavioral issues with my dog and really needed help. I found Sam Ivy K-9 Consultants and couldn't believe how great the reviews were, so I decided to give them a call. Once I started working with my consultant Miguel, the changes in my dog were almost immediate. One of the issues I had was my dog would take off running down the neighborhood if he got the chance and of course I would have to chase him down. My dog had actually gotten away from me a few days after our training had started and when I called him, he stopped immediately and came back! That's when I knew this was going to work. We just finished Advanced Off-Leash Obedience and I can't begin to explain the feeling of walking a dog in public places around people and distractions without a leash. The relationship I now have with my dog is better than I ever thought it could be. My only regret is not calling them years ago.
