Highly recommend! Amazing dog trainer!

We booked in with The Ipswich Dog Trainer to help our Romanian rescue dog who lacked confidence and was very nervous and scared of pretty much everything.

Leanne came to our house on our first session and really took the time to get to know Hamlet and his needs. We never felt rushed with his training and worked closely with Leanne to increase his confidence and to help him to relax. Leanne has such profound knowledge and never made us feel judged for mistakes that we made along the way! Each session is followed up with a summary email and links to various resources that we could use which proved very helpful to refer back to.

We also went to a socialisation walk and will continue to go to these as much as we can. These walks are very well organised and a great opportunity to interact with other dogs in a controlled environment.

Overall, our sessions with Leanne have been invaluable and we have all learnt so much and will continue to work with Leanne to maintain Hamlets progress. The difference over a few months has been incredible and although he’s still got a way to go, we are so proud of him!

Thank you so much Leanne - we would recommend The Ipswich Dog Trainer to everyone!

Delighted with the training

We have been so delighted with the advice and help we have received from Leanne our dog trainer, she has a great understanding of dogs and their owners and encourages both to be confident in handling their pet. We highly recommend her and the team.

So helpful with my 5 dogs

Leanne was so helpful. I was at my wits end with my 5 dogs and now I feel much better going forward being able to actively manage my expectations with them all and create a safe environment for myself and my dogs on a daily basis. We are not the finished article but I feel so much better managing going forward. Thank you so much for all of you help and advice.

Helping our Rescued Beagle

We've just finished three 1-2-1 sessions with Leanne. Milo our rescued Beagle had 3 homes before he came to us at 15 months old. He struggled with seeing other dogs when out on walks. After just a few sessions he's now much more relaxed, confident and doing what comes naturally to beagles, head down happily sniffing away. We feel better able to support him and understand him after some clear advice delivered in a friendly and patient manner. We would definitely recommend Leanne to anyone needing help.

Reactive dog owners perfect trainer!

Leanne is a fantastic dog trainer. We’ve had our dog Jasper for 5 years now, however unfortunately during lockdown he was attacked numerous times by different dogs and became very fear reactive around other dogs, and reverted to many of his bad behaviours which we had previously trained him out of. When we reached out to Leanne we were really at a loss as to how we could help Jasper, walking him was becoming an ordeal every time and yet when he was home he was his old loving self.

We booked a block booking with Leanne and have been seeing her now for 8-9 months and the change in Jasper is amazing. She is super patient and she knows when to push him …. And us …. And has lots of tricks and tips to keep improving him each time we see him.

If you have a reactive dog and you can’t see a way out, I would recommend booking some time with Leanne! You will soon be on long dog walks in busy parks enjoying your time out with the puppy again 🙂

We took our puppy Leo to Leanne’s…

We took our puppy Leo to Leanne’s beginners puppy course and loved every session over the 6 weeks. Both us and the dog learnt so much from the sessions, and Leanne always delivered them in a fun but informative way. I would definitely attend another course/session and would recommend Leanne to family and friends

We leant so much

We were really impressed with the service, efficient, friendly and flexible. We learnt so much about our dog and why he does what he does and we made fabulous progress in his training through Leanne's guidance.

Would recommend

Have had some 1-2-1 training which really helped us with the issues we had. Also attended the Sniffer Dog course, which was really good. Would definitely recommend and will be looking to book a couple more 1-2-1 sessions.

Just completed the 5wk 1-2-1 course

Just completed the 5wk 1-2-1 course, really pleased with the results.
Touch and recall going very well as is stay, will all be strong with a bit more time and practice. Bruno was off lead walking with leanne and myself on last lesson which is a big achievement for him. Can't thank leanne enough for her help and guidance will be doing beyond basics in the near future.

A fabulous 1-1 trainer

A fabulous 1-1 trainer, we were struggling with pulling and recall, we have now been given the tools to make these solid. So many tips given over the months too to help with the general well-being of the dog. Friendly, reliable and very knowledgeable. Thank you so much.

I attended the puppy training classes…

I attended the puppy training classes with my 5 month old lurcher. As a first time dog owner, I found the experience really valuable and have become a much more confident puppy owner. We really like that there were several helpers to give advice all the way through the lessons. Thank you!

Highly recommended!

Used Leanne's 5 week courses twice now - once for our puppy and once for our older dog. Both invaluable experiences and even with a second dog, there's lots to be learned. Leanne is a brilliant help, both at the time and via message as back up. Clearly loves what she does and makes sure she is working with both the human and animal, but in a way that brings out the best in both. Judging by how popular her classes and sessions are, I'd say it speaks for itself! Planning to do some 1 2 1 work with her too, to iron out some more persistent issues with our older dog.

Canine body language

Leanne explained and went through all the points of the course clearly. I felt like all questions were answered' and listen to everyone's comments. She made the atmosphere warm and inviting.

Awesome dog trainer!

Leanne offers a thorough and comprehensive dog training service. We had 1-1 zoom calls, we went to socialisation walks and most recently attended puppy classes which were varied and thorough. Leanne had good understanding of the needs of puppies and how to bring on their training. She had plenty of good ideas to encourage or adapt training if it wasn’t going so well too. I would not hesitate to return to Leanne in the future should we need any more training help. Thank you so much Leanne!
