Great experience with Ian. He made everything easy to understand and gave us practical, effective techniques that really worked. We did a zoom consult as we’re based in Australia. Would give 6 stars if i could

Couldn’t recommend Ian’s services enough. Was really struggling to get my dog to recall and to walk nicely on the lead. It made every walk stressful. After just one week with Ian and my dog has totally transformed. Now we can walk him off the lead, perfect recall, doesn’t run off to play with other dogs. He walks on a lose lead and we can now give our dog the freedom he deserves.

Before we started, I was really struggling with my dog’s recall and pulling on walks—it was stressful and honestly took a lot of the enjoyment out of being out together.

The difference is incredible. My dog now comes back when called and walks so much more calmly on the lead. It’s made such a huge improvement. Ian got us booked in such a short time frame and communicated clearly daily with updates.

Thank you for your patience, guidance, and support completely it’s completely transformed our walks and our relationship.

Brilliant results after only 3 weeks. Helped our young staffy elevate his obedience and improve our own confidence when walking around town or just playing in the park.

Ian had our 1 year old cocker spaniel for 1 week of residential training, to focus on recall and loose lead walking. The results are amazing, he used to pull that hard he was walking on his back legs only and was always on a long lead in open spaces, today we enjoyed a walk with no pulling at all then perfect recall when off lead even with other dogs around. I had daily updates of his progress which were great to show the kids. Overall very happy with the service and would highly recommend.

IBK9 has changed our life’s for the better, we travelled down from scotland and dropped our 2 cocker spaniels both around 9 months old and 3 weeks later they went from pulling on the lead and making themselves sick to walking at our heel on and off lead. in busy surroundings they can be let off there leads and come back no bother at all. would highly recommend IBK9 training to anyone thinking of improving there dogs.

We have just completed our handover with our Staffy Nelly following her 3 week residential training and cannot recommend IBK9 enough. Nelly is now a completely different dog in social environments and fully able to enjoy off-leash freedom now following Ian’s training. However, what has also really pleased us is that we still see that Nelly’s personality and “bubblyness” is still there – just now more manageable!

Beyond the incredible results, something I’d like to call out personally is Ian’s communication throughout – he shared daily progress videos and tips/tricks throughout Nelly’s stay, which give comfort and a feeling of involvement in the process which is brilliant. Now the onus is on us to build on the foundations that Ian has helped establish, but knowing that we are able to stay in touch with Ian for life is comforting for advice/support as we move forward.

If you are thinking about sending your dog to Ian to train, DO IT.

Sending Lexi to Ian was the best decision we made.

Off-lead walks simply weren’t possible before — now her recall is reliable and I can trust her. The freedom it’s given both of us is huge. She’s more settled, more focused and clearly thriving.

Ian kept us updated throughout, and we’ve seen such a positive change in her behaviour since bringing her home. Couldn’t recommend enough 10/10.

Just got Martin back home today. He’s a sprocker – extremely hyper and notorious for pulling on the lead as well as being the most ball driven dog I’ve seen.

We’ve just took him for our first walk and he walks off the lead by my side, his re-call is 10/10 and I couldn’t be happier he’s like a totally different dog.

Would highly recommend this company
