Ian came to our house to help us with walking Milo my mothers Spaniel who pulled constantly – we couldn’t believe by the end of just one lesson he was walking beautifully with a slack lead. Thank you so much Ian our walks are now enjoyable….. Jackie – Soham

Absolutely would recommend – my 2 year old salukis recall was so unreliable and he was starting to show signs of reactivity. I have tried other trainers/groups before with no success. During our one hour session, Ian gave really clear instructions and explanations and straight away my dog was much more engaged. 3 weeks later and he can now walk calmly past dogs he used to react to and I can confidently let him off the lead. Clearly a very knowledgable trainer and I am so impressed by the results already.Show more

I cannot recommend Ian enough. I have two spaniels who were incredibly reactive to other dogs and any people they did not know. This meant I could only take them out locally on early walks when I knew I wasn’t going to meet any other dogs or people.Not only was it exceptionally stressful for me and them, they weren’t getting to enjoy life in the way they should, having fun at the beach, at the park and generally being the happy well grounded dogs they should be. I’ve spent more money than I dare say with dog behaviourists to very little end. Within 2 sessions with Ian my dogs have been transformed. Ian has taught me so much. He is so humble and knowledgable. I honestly never thought I’d have the dogs I do now. And all I had to do was listen and follow Ian’s lead (no pun intended)! Thank you Ian I can’t tell you what this means to us all.Show more

We had a 1 on 1 training with Ian and he was great. Our dog struggles with reactivity and high prey drive. After just one lesson with Ian our dog made big progress! I highly recommend! He was patient and he is very knowledgeable.

Really nice trainer, clear instructions and demonstrations. After my puppies first 1 on 1 with Ian I can see a huge difference already. Can’t wait for our next session!

Highly Recommend Ian – Our golden retriever had very poor recall and pulled on the lead but after one session with Ian, he is now so much better and we feel confident to let him off the lead without worrying about whether he will come back. Thank you for your help!

Met with Ian for an hour 1-1 session on Saturday. I was apprehensive, as I have never sought advise previously, but from the moment Ian took the lead of our miniature dachshund, I knew we had done the right thing. Not only did we learn more about our four legged friend, but the ways we needed to improve to support him and our other girl at home. It was the best, most relaxed walk we have had with our 8 month puppy, and we came away excited for our next walk, something I was beginning to dread. I highly recommend, and have told everyone I know with a pooch to be in touch.Show more

I booked a session with Ian at IBK9 training for our reactive bulldog whose behaviour has worsened and made me avoid interacting with other dogs when out on a walk. Ian was so patient and actually explained why a dog reacts the way he does or why they show these behaviours and how we can correct it. I was amazed at how well our dog responded in just one session and we came away feeling extremely positive. I would highly recommend Ian and am looking forward to seeing the progress our dog makes going forward.Show more

Our doberman was reactive towards other dogs and pulled my arm off constantly when walking. We tried so many different accessories such as halti, choke chains etc. 1 lesson with IBK9 and i could walk her no pulling and easily walk past other dogs no problems. Amazing trainer and really knows his stuff.

We just got our golden doodle Theseus back today and he’s so well trained! He did a complete change from his rowdy, jumpy, barking and leash pulling behavior to a well mannered dog who listens and walks along without pulling and completely losing it when he sees other dogs!

100% recommend IBk9 for getting your pup trained.Show more
