The training was not carried out by 'The' Ipswich Dog trainer - I asked for a refund for the second session which I did not attend as the first one started late and was not by the person with all the experience, but two people who apparently have the same training
Maureen Duffield, August 2024
We have had a wonderful one to one puppy training with Zee for our little cavapoo puppy and we are now doing beyond basics. We have all learned so much and Magic is a really well behaved and happy puppy because of it.
Zanya Mann, August 2024
Was great on 2x courses we’ve done 😊
Richard Mann, August 2024
I had both my puppies trained with Leanne. She made the training easy to understand enjoyable for us and the dogs.
Debra Melhuish, August 2024
We are just starting on our 1-2-1 training with Leanne for our Romanian rescue dog Winnie. All our correspondence with Leanne has been very positive and she has given us confidence that we canget our beautiful but scared rescue to live a happy fulfilled life with us. She is very knowledgeable and always offers this to her clients without judgement.
Jane Mayne, August 2024
They are excellent dog trainers
Mary Southgate, August 2024
I found their training methods simple, informative and applicable to the needs of me and my dog.
Sarah Lambert, August 2024
Leanne is an amazing trainer and not only considers the dogs she helped but really gets to understands the owners feelings and the training they need to. She goes way above what her clients pay for. She has gone out of her way to help my dog at her doggie day care by attending there and watching how my dog behaves and advises them on how to help my very nervous reactive dog. She’s made such a difference to our lives and she deserves this award not just for her skills but for her compassion for owners and dogs alike. I don’t think we would have seen the difference we have with ny dog without her dedication and support
Wendy Matthews, August 2024
Leanne is a very knowledgeable dog trainer (and owner trainer!) and achieves great results with her patience, tuition and understanding. We thoroughly recommend her and her team.
Louise Baldry, August 2024

Christine Coe, August 2024
I have attended 3 workshops and all have been run brilliantly and professionally. The trainers are really knowledgeable and provide great advice on a one to one basis.
Glenda Parry, August 2024
We completed the up to 6 months puppy training. We all learned so much and Z is so knowledgeable, caring and interested in you and you fury friend doing well.
OLIVER COE, August 2024
Great training and approach to trying alternatives if tge first suggestion was not succesful. Leanne has really helped us with our dashund who is really set in her ways after being a rescue. Really deserving of our vote.
Louisa Harris, August 2024
We were previously with another dog trainer and she used to call our dog ‘the mad dog’. The first time we laughed it off but when it continued it began to knock our confidence, which we already had little of. I discovered Leanne and we haven’t looked back. She and Zee have always been so supportive and understanding, and helped us to recognise what we are doing well.
Laura Everett, August 2024
Leanne and Zee have been amazing for helping us with our new puppy. They are professional and really friendly. They have suited the training to also include my 2 young children so we can learn and train as a family.
Kim Anderson, August 2024

Leanne and her colleagues are endlessly patient , kind and positive when us humans are learning to communicate with our dogs . We have a 18 month Lab called Lily and we have been with Leanne since she was 5 months old . Lily and I have learned so much together. Ifingers crossed for The Ipswich Dog Trainer , they very much deserve to win .

June Alexander, August 2024
Becoming an adopted dog mum to Walta a 10 yr. Old romanian street rescue who was blind, a bit deaf , had a broken leg which had set badly, half a tail and ptsd or maybe dementia....I needed help! I received straight forward support and help in the first vital weeks when i needed to help him cope.He was included and not excluded and all questions were confidently answered by one of the team.They even have glasses of water and comforting words for teary dog mums who get a bit emotional. How can i not vote for them?
Kryssy Lay, August 2024
Because they have always been ready to help even as short notice
Robin Hatt, August 2024
Leanne and her team, are very professional and knowledgeable on every aspect of dog training, from socialising walks through to tracker training, all of which go towards helping your dog to become calm and confident. I would have no issue in recommending The Ipswich dog trainer to anyone wanting help with their animal.

Leanne is a fantastic trainer. She has helped me turn my very reactive rescue dog into a dog that loves almost everyone! I can take him out walking and to cafes and pubs without worrying anymore. I have had one to one sessions with Leanne and have also been to group classes. We have really enjoyed all the training and have learnt a lot. Thank you.
Amanda Brown, August 2024

Leanne has been amazing with all our spaniels, our younger boy, and older girls. Loads of experience with reactive dogs, great advice, and very supportive, plus all training is force-free, non-aversive, and led by the dogs. Have learned so much from her, would recommend to anyone.

Can’t describe enough the effort and hard work Leanne puts in day in and day out.
Her care for each and every dogs needs is heart warming.
Jo Withey, September 2023
Leanne and the rest of the Ipswich Dog Trainer team have been fabulous with our dogs. We had three rescue spaniels, and Leanne was amazing helping us to integrate the third and unpick his issues. Sadly we lost him after eleven months but we still see Leanne and the team at the regular socialisation walks and wouldn't hesitate to enlist Thier help with any of our dogs in the future. An amazing team who all have the best interests of the dogs as a priority and have so much experience helping people to understand the needs of their dogs.
Sadie Kempster, September 2023
Amazing company and know what they are taking about and helped with Getting my nervous puppy confident again thank you
Tracie White, September 2023
Amazing team who work tirelessly.
Jade Symonds, September 2023
Had 6 months worth of training from the Ipswich dog trainer and we now understand our dog so much more which in turn has led to much improved behaviour. Our dog is now much more confident, happy and content with great skills. We worked on nutrition, confidence, reactivity, understanding behaviours and much more! If you need a dog trainer these are the people to go too!
Richard Kingdon, September 2023
I'm a retired senior training assessor and I've been on a few of Leanne's training courses, she points out all the positives that you and your dog are learning. Always has time to discuss any issues you might have with your dog, she's an all round very nice person and certainly knows what she's on about. If I was doing an assessment on her training I doubt I could find fault.
Hollie Podd, August 2023
Brilliant trainer, so much love for the dogs, helpful, positive and so friendly.
Margaret Baxter, August 2023
I am so grateful David has helped my 5 month old Maltese and my senior old dog has shown interest watching pups training.This is just what I needed as coming to my house is so much better for me.As transport is a problem.Also good value for money .

I love the fact they are fully force free. Being an unregulated industry means anyone can be a dog trainer but Leanne, David and Zee are happy to show their qualifications.
Sharon Hume, August 2023

Andy Cowell, August 2023
We took our newfoundland for puppy training classes with The Ipswich Dog Trainer, and they were absolutely fantastic! Loved every session!
Dionne Bond, August 2023
Highly knowledgeable, friendly and always put dogs safety and well being first. Helping owners and dogs have build a strong bond and teaching owners to read the dogs ques is the foundation of what they do at The Ipswich dog trainer, Leanne and her colleagues are all fantastic and I know myself and my dog are in safe hands working with them.
Richard Kingdon, August 2023
I've done quite a bit of training with leanne and all positive for my dog and I shes always on hand if you need any information or help.
I am also a qualified senior Training instructor assessor and I can not fault her.
Louise Bradshaw, November 2022
We use her to train our dog so friendly and helpful. She’s very knowledgeable in dog behaviour
Jo Withey, September 2022
Leanne has been amazing with our rescue spaniel and helping our existing dogs get used to him being around. She has also been so supportive to me. Really looking forward to getting on with the 1:1 sessions and the classes!
William Mayall, September 2022
Leanne uses methods that help both dogs and owners to be friends. The older methods once so fashionable for training, like forcing a dog to comply using harsh treatments are definitely not used by Leanne as those measures are based on force and fear. The, "Top Dog" approach based on a group of dogs unknown to each other finding their own leader to the detriment of all the other dogs is also not allowed. She advocates a dog being a friend to and part of the family group. Happily enjoying and growing up in a loving environment.
Sharon Hume, September 2022
Leanne is very knowledgeable and has helped us train our rescue pup.
Very much recommended!
Tina Culley, September 2022

Leanne is an amazing trainer and not only has she helped us with the reactivity and nervousness of our dog, she has provided us with the understanding of our dogs needs.

Louise Bradshaw, August 2022
Very knowledgeable and supportive
John Stacey, August 2022
Took puppy class and then beyond basics lessons
It's not just the training, lots of help and advise plus confidence building for both of us. My labrador was off lead at 4 and a half months and I had total faith in him and his recall. I had never used positive reward training before but am now 100% in favour.
Richard Kingdon, August 2022
I have been on nearly all the training courses including UK sniffer dog, Leanne and her team are genuine friendly dog lovers and help you and your dog become best freinds.
Leanne will help you with ALL You and your dogs needs anytime.
