Words can not express how thankful we are for Sam Ivy K9 consultants, especially our trainer Ryann. We have a 7 year old Chinese shar pei, Charlie, who through the years was becoming pretty aggressive towards anyone that came near him that was not our immediate family. He was growling and lounging, and even bit 4 people, we were told by many people that he needs to be medicated and that dogs are like people "the older he gets the worse he will be." Embarrassed and fearful of him seriously hurting someone we medicated him with Prozac and Xanex. But this was just a band-aid as we weren't fixing the problems. This is when we found Sam Ivy. From the moment he had our face to face interview with Sam Ivy himself I knew we were about to make a change for the better. When we had our first training session with our trainer Ryann, she couldn't be in the house with our dog in the same room. He was barking and lounging at her. Today our dog Charlie has no more aggression towards anyone that's comes to our home, we can actually walk him on a leash through the neighborhood, and to top it off we have lowered his dose of medication from 30mg of Prozac and 1 Xanex a day to now only 10 mg of Prozac. We owe all our success to Ryann, she gave us the training and the tools we needed. She was very encouraging through the entire process. We can not be more thankful!
