Team Sam Ivy, Hollie, specifically is amazing! After extensive research of dog training, after a frustrating stretch of time with our Frenchie, I accidentally came across Team Sam Ivy. The initial, presumably with a sales person, as quite impressive, particularly as compared to all of the hands on trainers I had talked to. Their philosophy around trading the owner to train the dog really resonated with me. We were struggling with an Frenchie was was unpredictably snapping at people and really not following any commands but sit.After just 2 sessions we were noticing significant changes in our dog’s behavior. She was recognizing that she was no longer “in control” and quickly adapted to the new routine. Now, having finished 6 sessions with Hollie, I am confident in executing on what we learned, Lucy is calmer and much more predictable. She is listening and obeying commands, surprising me every day! I’m so proud of how far we’ve come and I have the tools to continue our training, enforcing what we’ve learned. Hollie has been awesome-she relatable, sincere and truly committed to helping. Throughout our training she’s always been available for advise, she asks inquisitive questions to really understand the circumstances and has made me feel like a confident leader. I would highly recommend using Team Sam Ivy-you won’t regret it!!

We had an amazing experience with Hollie at SamIvy Dog Training. Hollie is knowledgeable, patient, and truly understands dogs and their behavior. From the very first session, we saw improvements and felt more confident as owners. She explains everything clearly and tailors the training to both the dog and the family, which made a huge difference for us. Our only regret is not starting sooner! If you’re considering dog training, I can’t recommend Hollie and SamIvy enough — absolutely worth it.

So thankful for Hollie and that we chose Team SamIvy! We were experiencing behavioral changes and aggression with our Hughie after moving. Being a puppy, under a lot of new stress, my partner and I didn’t know the best way to go about helping him. Hollie gave us the tools we needed to assist him in this transition, respond to these new behaviors in his language. We have seen him respond to every step of our training, knowing we’re finally communicating properly with him, and really putting our minds at ease in this stressful time. We had a vet visit towards the end of our six weeks with Hollie, and they commented on his behavior, saying they could tell we have been training him. It was such a nice compliment, we have seen small victories everyday but for others to notice was extremely rewarding. The training structure really provided us with a new way of life with our boy, that is better for him and us! There is so much comfort in knowing we can always reach back out to Hollie as Hughie enters new stages of puppyhood and adulthood, although we feel confident we would be able to put our tools back use ourselves! ❤️🐶

This is our first time working with Sam Ivy, our trainer is Hollie. They start with an assessment of your needs and go over ther program, expectations, and some timelines. Sessions are recorded so that you can go back and review what was covered. I like their model of training you how to train your dog, instead of the dog being trained by others. Hollie is very personable and knowledgeable about dog behaviors, she has guided us through connecting with our dog and checks in with us throughout the week. Lilo is now 9 months old, was jumping on the couch, counter surfing, not taking our “no’s” seriously. Within some weeks there was dramatic improvement, she no longer jumps on the couch or gets stuff off the counter. Other behaviors will take longer but I can see the progress, and the tools received working with Hollie are definitely going to improve our life at home with Lilo!

This is my second time working with Sam Ivy, and I can’t recommend them enough! I’ve had two very different dogs and got the same amazing results both times. The first time was for jumping and leash walking, and now I’m working with my 4-month-old pup, Tatum, on potty training, house rules, and even starting off-leash work. I work with Hollie, and she’s fantastic. She doesn’t just train my pup—she coaches me on how to train. The Zoom sessions are super convenient, and her real-time feedback and tips have been a game changer. She even showed me how to play in ways that prevent biting and stop bad habits before they start. Her method works—you’ll get results - Thank you Hollie!!!!
