We started training for our rescue dog with SamIvy. Treena was our trainer and have given us and Blue the best experienced and such great support. We are so proud to say that with Treena’s attentive guidance Blue has improved tremendously. Treena has given us the skills and confidence to provide the best support for our reactive and wild girl, and now we can enjoy spending time with our dog! Thank you Treena! We are fortunate to have met you and learned so much from you!

We had Treena as our trainer, she was great and super relatable / helpful in getting our dog’s bad behaviors cleaned up and giving us the knowledge / support to correct the issues and understand what we need to do on a daily basis after training is complete to have a happy and safe dog. Highly recommend and will be using her services again down the line.

5/5

Alysia was an amazing. If I could give her 15 stars I would. I have an Australian shepherd puppy with endless amount of energy who was difficult at best to train. Alysia guided me through the often challenging training. Now I’m gifted with a puppy that has evolved into an obedient companion that my family will cherish for years to come thank you Alysia. I highly recommend Sam Ivy.

Business response

Thank you so much for your glowing review, Maria. We’re thrilled Alysia could guide you through training your energetic Australian Shepherd and help turn them into an obedient companion your family will cherish. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Alysia and the rest of the Sam Ivy team. We appreciate your recommendation and are here if you need support in the future.

I've worked with Gina at Sam Ivy three separate times, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Every experience has been exceptional. Gina has an incredible ability to understand each dog's personality and tailor her training approach to fit their individual needs. She's patient, knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely cares about both the dogs and their owners. What impresses me most is that she doesn't just train the dog—she teaches you how to communicate effectively and build a stronger relationship with your pet. The results have been outstanding every time I've worked with her, and the skills she teaches continue to pay off long after the training sessions are over. If you're looking for a trainer who is professional, compassionate, and truly gifted at what she does, Gina is the best. This is my third time working with her, and I wouldn't trust anyone else with my dogs. Thank you, Gina!

Business response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for trusting Gina and Sam Ivy with your dogs three times. We’re thrilled to hear Gina’s patient, individualized approach and her focus on teaching owners has delivered lasting results. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with her — they mean a lot. We look forward to working with you and your pets again.
