Excellent trainer with the dog and human!

Leanne is brilliant not only with the dog that is training but the humans too, I reached out to Leanne after my Labrador started going through a regression period and not being able to get her recall after being perfect. I also wanted advice on some other things which Leanne has helped us on. I loved doing 1-1 sessions because of my own anxiety I find groups more difficult which my dog could pick up on. The sessions were totally tailored to us and what we needed/wanted to gain. If we thought of any other questions, she was always happy to answer or give advise. I also really like the fact she sends over breakdowns of the sessions, this actually really helped to able to relay information to my partner and remember bits from the session I may have forgotten. Leanne is kind, patient and very informative. I would highly recommend her, she's helped us greatly and I will definitely use her again in the future!

We had 1-2-1 training at home.
We learnt a lot and are practicing the techniques and starting to see the results. All the advice on feeding has been invaluable. Costa is never going to make feeding easy, but we are getting there.
We would and do recommend Leanne.
Thank you for all the support and advice, especially the follow emails.
Thank you again.

Excellent 1-2-1 Puppy training

I had 1-2-1 Puppy training, which we did in my garden and was very pleased with the help and support I got. I would recommend Leanne and will be using her again when my pup is old enough for the advanced training!

Excellent trainer

Really good experience with 1-1 training over zoom. Very knowledgeable trainer and ready to answer any question and tailer training as required. Having not had a puppy for over 30 years it was a great confidence builder for me and him. Thoroughly recommend.

Absolutely Fabulous 1-2-1 training

We arranged three 1-2-1 sessions for us and our MBT as this breed is known for being excitable and somewhat stubborn, as well as being a strong a solid dog. From the outset the puppy (Smurf) loved Leanne and we had 3 highly successful sessions where we actually learnt more than the puppy did - but this is the idea!!
It's been a fantastic help as we need to be able to control him and keep him out of harms way, especially being a misunderstood breed.
We will be continuing training as needed, you can never know too much.
In my opinion, this service is worth every penny - thank you Leanne.

1-2-1 Puppy Training Success

We done the 1-2-1 puppy training programme with Leanne. The changes we’ve noticed with Oreo whilst and since doing this has been amazing. Leanne had also offered invaluable advice on how to prepare him for the birth of new baby. Wouldn’t hesitate to get in contact with Leanne if Oreo required any future training. Definitely recommend!

Highly recommend 1-2-1 puppy training course

We enjoyed the 1-2-1 puppy training course provided by Leanne. The five weeks flew by and both puppy and I learned so much. The nutrition advice has been
invaluable, as has learning about enrichment which was put to great use during a period of self-isolation. I would definitely recommend this course.

Fantastic experience throughout

We have completed the 1-2-1 puppy training course with Leanne and have been blown away by the support, knowledge and adaptiveness of Leanne. There has been a noticeable change in Luna, which is making the journey of puppy parenthood all the more enjoyable. I would really recommend Leanne and will be reaching out in the future if there are any further training requirements we have.

Great Training with a lovely person.

I have done both the puppy training course and her canine body in language course. Even as an experienced dog owner I found her training invaluable. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Canine Body Language course

I thoroughly enjoyed Leanne's course on Understanding Canine Body Language. It was informative, entertaining and immersive with video and photo examples. After the course, I felt impassioned to learn more and seek out my dog and other dogs to put my new knowledge to the test. Thank you Leanne!

Absolutely brilliant

Absolutely brilliant. We have a deaf and partially sighted puppy so all of the course had to be adapted for her. Leanne did this easily nothing was too much trouble, she also gave us extra tips and advice and still keeps in touch now. The course was easy to understand and the commands were easy to use. I would definitely recommend the Ipswich Dog Trainer to anyone.

Effective puppy training!

Despite the numerous lockdowns, we have managed to make progress with regards to training our puppy, or rather, Leanne has been effective in training us! Although not new to dogs, our new puppy presented us with challenges and Leanne was able to suggest numerous ways to move forward with her, and also point us in the right direction for suitable harnesses, and boredom busters for her most lively moments. Leanne willingly answers all questions and shares her experience and suggestions. All conversations and lessons are followed up with pdf's for future reference. Having had some experience of group training classes, I would recommend a 1:1 course which focuses on your dog, your specific issues, and how you communicate with your dog. Most importantly for us though, was the fact that my husband and I could both be present for the lessons, all of which were socially distant. We have made good progress and I do not think we would have achieved this on our own. Thank you.

Highly recommended!

We are first time dog owners and Leanne was so helpful with training Rufus and giving us confidence. She was lovely to work with, and also had lots of advice about other aspects of looking after a puppy such as food and toys. We highly recommend her!

Our 1-1 puppy training course was brilliant! It was tailor-made to our needs to include how to avoid littermate syndrome as well as everything else you could want to know when you start out with puppies! Despite the challenges with lockdown, our whole family could join in over Zoom. Any equipment was delivered by Leanne ahead of every lesson. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

An Excellent Course...

I highly recommend The Understanding Canine Body Language Course. Leanne is professional, very knowledgable & presented the course exceptionally well, involving the group & giving out very good advice. I learnt a lot & feel I am now much better equipped to deal with situations involving my own & my client’s dogs. Thank you Leanne 😀

This was an informative, comprehensive course. Most useful! I will definitely be able to apply what I learned and give the dog's I work with more positive, happy experiences. Leanne was most helpful, friendly and professional whilst delivering the course. Thank you!

Excellent Advice

Leanne gave us excellent advice on training our rescue dog, she is extremely knowledgeable having been through it all herself. She recommended some fantastic products and we will definitely be back for more help if needed.

We had issues with our 2 dogs barking and so we contacted Leanne, we had a consultation over the phone and arranged an appointment...from the initial phonecall right through...Leanne has been so helpful, kind and patient. In our first session she went 'above and beyond' to help me and give us no end of really useful advice which we are now going to work on until we see her again...which we will...because she was amazing. I already feel more confident in handling the issues my dogs had and they are already starting to respond in a positive way. I cannot recommend Leanne highly enough, she is full of knowledge and absolutely exceeded my expectations. THANK YOU LEANNE!
