I can not thank our trainer Gina for all her help!!! I was ready to get ride of Benji because he was out of control , barking, showing his teeth at anyone that came in the house! Bitting me, so I decided this class would have to happen and soon. Went on Google found Sam Ivy and watched his video. They were interesting, but would it work doing this class FaceTime on my phone??? I must say I am completely surprised at the results in 4 weeks! Benji stayed on spot today, I rang the doorbell, when outside and he did not get off of spot!! I am totally AMAZED that this happened with my dog that I was ready to give up! I have had him for all move two years and this was his second time at a class. So I would say the first was a waist of time I can’t wait to keep working on these classes! Again thank you Gina GREAT JOB!!

Our trainer, Gina, is wonderful. She is always on time and available to answer all of our questions anytime. I admit, I was hesitant about a completely virtual training program, but it has been amazing. This program is a lot of work for both the dog and the human, so if you’re not willing to put in the work and understand that training is everyday, then this may not be for you. There are many nights my puppy and I are in bed by 7:00pm because of the mental stamina required with this training. I have learned how to set boundaries and enforce them and my puppy has become more confident and relaxed now that he knows who is in charge. I am so glad I found Sam Ivy. He has brought serenity in our home with my five month old lab who was a wild child prior to starting training.

We were extremely satisfied with our trainer Thuylinh for helping us train our new puppy who began the course at 4 months as well as some refresh for our 5 yr old dog. Within a couple months we had the puppy listening to many commands, staying on spot, and even walking outdoor, off leash. We would highly recommend her for your dog’s training.

What can I say - SamIvy with the aid of our trainer Gina allowed for our family to keep a rescue dog and allow there to be peace and harmony in our family with 3 dogs. Each dog had its own issues - two smaller dogs - one 11 yrs, one 5 yrs with insecurities and anxiety and a 11 month old rescue border collie who is an epileptic and puppy! Our house was crazy and Gina helped us manage all three personalities and we have even moved onto advanced off leash training - all via zoom session! We could not have been more pleased with our experience with SamIvy and Gina! They have provided us with the tools and insight and skill set to adapt to issues that exists as well as address new problems and work through them. Beyond blessed to be able to keep our new border collier rescue and while meeting the needs of the smaller older dogs!

Working with Sam Ivy and specifically are instructor Miss Gina was amazing for our dogs. One of our dogs struggles bad with anxiety and through our training sessions we found several ways to help reduce his anxiety and build his confidence. With both of our pups Miss Gina was able to help make them more calm, more confident, and significantly better listeners. We were able to do all of this online through Zoom classes as well which made training during a pandemic seamless.

We have 3 dogs and felt like we didn't have control of our household. There were some behavioral issues surrounding food/space aggression, and our youngest dog very energetic and experiencing separation anxiety. Usually, by the time you finally ask for help you feel like you're at the end of your rope and that's the point we were getting to. We didn't think it would be possible to turn around bad behaviors that have been heavily engrained into our dogs. Sam Ivy and our trainer, Gina, changed that all for us. We took control of our pack, and once the tools started working it was like magic. We don't run into issues now, because we have the tools to be proactive. We put a lot of work into training, but looked forward to meeting with Gina each week. She tailored the training to the individual needs of our dogs - we really got so much out of it and wished we'd done this training sooner! Every dog owner should do training with Sam Ivy. It gives your dog structure and a support system, and also is a great bonding tool for the owners/dogs. We are sad that our training has ended, but excited that we now have lifelong tools for our dogs!
