When we got them back they went from completely untrained to trained in every way! Door manners, in the car, on the leash, and other basic commands, you name it! They were crazy about food and now they will sit in front of food and wait to eat it when they are told. It's amazing! We then brought them back for a tune up when our son was born. It was awesome knowing they were with people who knew them and loved them. Our dog Charlie ran and jumped in the lake immediately! Happy as can be. A huge shoutout to Derrick! When our son was born 4 weeks early he went out of his way to pick our dogs up when we were stuck at the hospital. He truly loves the dogs and cares about the families. You can tell this is his passion and it shows through his work! Lastly, Anthony has been fantastic to work with throughout too! Due to him and Derrick we will continue bringing our dogs back here when we need boarding knowing they are in the BEST hands. If you're looking for a great training facility with the best people, look no further. You found them!

Fasr forward to now, I called Julie, a little panicky because my spouses Parkinson's was progressing making it harder to make Willow as happy as she could be. Julie took Willow for a week long boot camp and what a change after a few days. She came back to us much happier and more than willing to do what we ask of her. She is much more cautious around my spouse and the incessant barking has stopped. Julie even spent time in our home giving us tips on Willows behavior and triggers. Julie is a wonderfully patient trainer, not only with the dogs but also their parents! I would take Willow back anytime .

Our family adopted a dog named Bear. He was not well behaved and was causing a lot of stress in our…read morefamily to the point we considered re-homing him. Fabian at the Dog Wizard was able to turn everything around for us thankfully. We boarded Bear at the facility in US 64 and Fabian worked with him daily. What he graduated from the program he was sitting and lying down in his place every time we asked. Before training he refused to go on walks because of his intense fear. Now, we take him on walks around the neighborhood every day. Not only was Fabian effective but he has repeatedly offered to meet up with us to work with Bear for no extra charge. Every two weeks we also can attend alumni classes on a Saturday at local parks which helps Bear keep up his training. I can't say enough about how great of a job Fabian did. He saved Bear's life. We are eternally grateful to him for that.

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

I realized that my review of Southeastern Guide Dogs isn't accurate now. Unfortunately even before…read moreCOVID-19 they removed their program that lets the public interact with their puppies. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't heartbroken by this. Playing with the puppies and learning about how they could grow up to be service dogs was such a wonderful activity. We did it more than once and just loved it. Probably a couple people didn't act properly and ruined it for the rest of us. In spite of this I still donate money yearly to Southeastern Guide Dogs. They provide incredibly trained dogs to help those with visual impairment, veterans with PTSD and other disabilities, and children with huge challenges for FREE. The dogs that don't pass the program are adopted to loving families. I miss those puppies but I still support them and their mission to help others.
