Sam Ivy K9 Consultants offers several specialized courses, all built on a foundation of personalized 1-on-1 live training sessions via Zoom. Each program includes access to a password-protected online portal with training documents and recorded sessions, an invitation to an exclusive SamIvy Insiders Facebook Group for lifetime support, and all required training tools.

The Proper Pack Behavior Course is the cornerstone, addressing all dog behavior issues such as aggression, jumping, barking, soiling, chewing, biting, digging, leash pulling, running away, and whining. It focuses on establishing clear communication and boundaries, with an average duration of 3-4 weeks.

The Comprehensive Course builds upon the Proper Pack Behavior foundation by adding a comprehensive obedience program. This course is designed for dog owners who want to deepen their bond with their dog, teaching consistent listening and focus even in distracting environments, using techniques like marker training. Its average duration is 4-6 weeks.

The Off-Leash Course is for owners seeking an outstandingly obedient dog off-leash. It requires completion of the Proper Pack Behavior training first to ensure a solid foundation of respect and trust. This program includes the full Comprehensive Obedience Course plus 4 weeks of dedicated off-leash training, with an average duration of 3-4 months.

The Service Dog Course is tailored for dogs that need to perform tasks for individuals with disabilities. It ensures the dog meets public access standards, including being calm, alert, socialized, and reliable. This customized program incorporates the Proper Pack Behavior and Comprehensive Obedience training before focusing on specific service dog skills, with an average duration of 4-6 months.
