Erica is amazing! Her expertise as a dog trainer is rare. Despite trying various other local dog…read moretraining services, none of them have given us the same results as Erica. What sets Erica apart from the rest, is that she creates an in-home training program for you that is custom to your unique dog(s), lifestyle, and overall circumstances. In our case, we have three dogs, one who has an injury. Generic dog training advice that we would find online wasn't working for us. Every training technique from Erica has been very effective. We've seen immediate improvement in our dogs. Walking our dogs used to be stressful and now it's something we look forward to everyday. Their improved behavior has allowed us to take them more places, have more adventures, and overall make them & us happier.

In March 2023, I brought home a 3-month old doxie, who was just so cuddly and adorable. I've had…read moredachshunds before and know they can be sassy, but my new pup, Norman, went from cute to nippy to full-on growling/snarling/biting/charging me in about 3 months time. He turned into a total a-hole, Mr. Alpha. Even though he was only 10 lbs, he had some sharp teeth and a bad attitude. I did some basic obedience training with him at my local PetCo, which was good for basic stuff, but he still had major behavioral issues. I thought maybe he would calm down a bit after I got him neutered at 9 months, but no go. This whole experience was so upsetting. I had never had a dog like this that was so difficult. All I wanted was to love my dog, and what I got was regularly bitten and a lot of stress. It got so bad that I called dachshund rescue places to see if they would take him - they said 'no thanks'. And I went so far as to fill out an intake form with the Animal Rescue League in August. I cried myself to sleep that night because I didn't want to give up on this dog, but it was way more stress and expense than I had bargained for. I spoke w/ Sam Ivy back in June and he told me about his behavioral program. I wasn't ready to make the investment at that point, but I liked what he had to say. I told him I wanted to wait until I got Norman neutered before investing in any more training. Fast forward to August - I was on the verge of giving Norman up and Sam texted me. I'll never forget: Sam told me to get rid of the behavior, not the dog. He convinced me to give Norman one more chance. So I made the decision to invest in the Proper Pack Behavior course. I saw all the great reviews for Holli, one of SamIvy's trainers, and requested her. Lucky me - we started training with Holli the next week. Over the last several months, Norman and I have been working with Holli, and I am so so glad I gave SamIvy a chance. Norman (who I refer to as The Whip since he's a Work In Progress) has come a LONG way. Is he an angel 24/7? No. But he's much calmer. He's more trusting of and respectful to me. He's no longer possessive of his food. Our walks are in control. His potty training routine has improved 100%. He doesn't bite me when I put his collars on. I can take him in public and he's been spot trained to sit and behave in a restaurant with me (can you say 'miracle'??). Our relationship is MUCH better and he's begun to understand that I am the pack leader and that I am the decision maker. Now - Holli is gem. She's no joke. She knows her stuff inside and out. Her expertise paired with SamIvy tools equals results. And remember at the end of the day, it is us - the pet owners - that need to be trained to manage our dogs. So this training was an eye opener for both me and Norman. If you are on the fence about making the investment to train your sassy-ass dog, trust me when I say it's worth every penny. SamIvy's program and tools are superior to traditional training or bootcamps because they understand how dogs think/operate. Kudos to you Sam, Holli, and team! Chris and Norman

When people would visit, our chunky little basset hound, and our 75 pound bulldog would get excited and jump all over guests and just be incredibly rambunctious in general. After 5 sessions, we were amazed at the amount of discipline they showed like two little soldiers who wouldn't move unless we told them to when guests came over. Our friends and family were absolutely floored by the progress, and couldn't believe that these were the same two dogs. I highly recommend having her help train your pups, because it has made a world of a difference for us!

We had our now 10 month old pit bull board with Abby about a month ago for 2 weeks. Before we…read morebrought him he was fairly well behaved but no real discipline. If we went outside he would run to the neighbors houses or try and grab stuff off of the table. Since getting him back he has been a brand new dog. He's still his same lazy, cuddly self but way more attentive and understanding. I go through most of the commands all day long just out of habit. Sometimes even putting him to the test to see how well he knows some things. I can not believe how well he took to everything and how much better disciplined he now is. I've gotten to the point now within a month where I rarely need to use the collar remote. All in all. We are extremely happy with the results and would highly recommend and use again with future dogs. Thank you Tampa K9 and Abby for everything!!!

We had to wait until someone could bring him from Orlando. They didn't even have the decency to call us and tell us he went to the vet or he had to go back to the vet after that, where he then died! Be careful with this place. You have no idea what they are actually doing with your dog.

If you care about your dog don't bring him here. I am writing this post as many friends have told…read moreme I need to let other people know. As well as the fact that Rick, the owner has not followed up with me after I told him I was at the vet and my dog was dying which baffles my mind. I brought my 9 month old puppy here to get trained on his behavior as we were having a baby and needed some help. We dropped our dog off on a Tuesday Morning. He was in a healthy state and had went to the vet 3 week prior to get his shots and flea medicine. We were told he was a healthy pup ( we knew there may be some neurological issues). On Wednesday after we dropped him off at training, we reached out asking for an update and got NO RESPONSE. On Thursday, we reached back out and got a response a few hours later advising that our dog is not doing good in training and we need to pick him up Friday, but they will call Friday morning to discuss further. We get a phone call Friday URGENTLY advising us that we need to pick up our dog ASAP as his health is going down hill and we may need to take him to the vet. I arrived to the faculty around 11am on Friday, my dog was soaking wet and had peed and pooped on himself. The facility response to him being in this state, was "Im sorry, but this is the 3rd or 4th time your dog has pooped himself we cant keep cleaning him and drying him off we have other dogs to deal with." When I spend $3,000 for a week of training I expect my dog to be handled with nothing but care and love. Instead, I got a tired group of people who only wanted to deal with "easy" dogs. So then I had to put a wet and pooped covered dog in my car. (Rick the owner acknowledged this was not good and he would talk to the his team.) On my way home, the dog pooped straight blood all over the place. We took him to the ER that Friday afternoon, where I was informed he had a temperature of 94 degrees. The vet was very concerned the way that this training facility had handled our dog. He had to stay at the vet overnight. After 1 day, he finally had a normal poop and the vet found flowers and seeds in his poop. This 100% did not come from my house as I have an artificial turfed back yard that is fenced in and it had been since Tuesday that he was at the facility. Per Rick, the dog was supervised and never ate anything besides dog food which is obviously not true. I called Rick to inform him of our vet visit and told him my dog was in very rough shape. After a short conversation with him, I never heard back from RICK with any follow ups or concern for my dog. Our dog died 1 week later. Im not saying that this facility killed my dog, as now I believe our dog may have had underlying health issues before this, that we were unaware of. However, I am saying that this facility had a lack of care and love for my dog to the point that I find the way they cared for my pup insulting and disgusting. I would never bring a dog or recommend someone who loves their dog to come. I called Rick again and received his voicemail to which Rick never followed up with me on and never followed up to see how my dog was. Im sure Rick will find out once he responds to this review/message. Also, I ended up paying $500 for this experience. What I want to know is why no one followed up with a phone call on Wednesday or Thursday when I reached out? Why was I the one reaching out for updates? Also, Why did I finally get a call Friday when it was an emergency to pick up my dog and not beforehand? Why did I pick up a dog soaking wet covered in poop and freezing cold? Per the vet, if I would of left my dog at the facility and longer on Friday, he would of died of hypothermia. No facility that claims to take care of anyones pet should leave an animal in this state. You would think a prestigious training facility such as this, would have taken better care of our family pet.
