Dog Training

Highly recommended trainer who takes the time to listen to your specific requests as well as teach actual practical techniques that will help you and your dog develop and grow.

Offers a variety of services and challenges for your dog as they get more confident. Have seen massive improvements in a month with just a hour a week with Simon to re-enforce and assist with things to do.

Dog Training

Hi just to let you know that Simon has been working with us and Basil for some time now it started with one to one and when it was aloud in group setting. Simon has helped us greatly as Basil was going through a very stubborn time when we started and he always got over excited when meeting other dog and although he was never aggressive it was just a real big problem. Now he greets other dogs in a sensible way and other dogs greet him back instead of turning away, he responds to us now instead of ignoring us and doing his own thing. We still go to training as I think it is good for him mixing with other dogs and learning more things( it is also good for us to learn more). Basil loves Simon he feels really chilled with him and Sarah. I have and would again suggest Simon and his training methods to any one. Thanks Simon and team. More...

I cannot recommend Simon highly enough, he is wonderful with our pup Max, and you can see how much Max adores him. The group classes have been great to help with socialising and the 1 on 1 sessions are extremely helpful. If you are looking for a trainer who will love your dog as much as you do then look no further. More...

Simon is wonderful with Max and has trained him since he was a puppy. He helped us iron out any issues we had when he was younger and helps us with tips as we get older. Max absolutely loves him and is so excited when he sees him as he has such a great way with dogs. I cannot recommend Simon highly enough. More...

If anyone is looking for a dog trainer who cares passionately about his work - look no further Simon is your man. His classes are a joy to be in and his approach both professional and informative. We have found the group work for our 5 month Collie’s socialisation and the information to solve specific problems invaluable. Thanks Simon More...

Dog Training

We cannot recommend Simon highly enough. We sought guidance with training just before our puppy was fully vaccinated. Simon responded quickly coming to our home and providing us with loads of useful 121 guidance. we’ve followed this with attendance at group sessions which are so much fun and fantastic for socialisation for the whole family as well as training. Our puppy loves Simon and the classes and we receive daily compliments on his behaviour. Many thanks to Simon & co and to our class mates. More...

If Simon can train Freddie (full name Andrew Flintoff) he can train anyone!! . Simon, Sarah and Jess have been brilliant with Freddie since he was tiny and he loves all of them to bits- so much so that when they look after him for a day when we have to work in London all I have to mention are the names Simon, Sarah or Jess and he trots to the front door as he cannot wait to get there. I would hugely recommend Simon (and his family) not only as great dog trainers but lovely people !!! More...

Simon has been great with Arnie the chocolate Labrador, helped us no end, always helpful and attentive and seeks a solution to any training issues whether big or small.

The group sessions are fun and useful for training, and it's good to see and speak with other dog owners who Simon has been helping.

Can't recommend Simon highly enough!

Dog Training

Simon is a fantastic dog trainer he has been working with my working cocker spaniel since he was 16 weeks on both a one to one basis and in group sessions. Pablo has responded well to all the sessions and absolutely loves working with Simon. Pablo is a very active dog and he has come on leaps and bounds with training with Simon. Simon’s teaching has also helped me work with Pablo and it’s great to see such fab results. I would recommend Simon to anyone. Thank you More...

Simon has been amazing at giving advice and training to Ronnie in both 121 sessions and group classes. I can not recommend him enough our pup is constantly praised for how well behaved he is and this is down to Simon

Simon is like a dog whisperer. Amazing with our dog Bailey . He has helped learn good techniques with training Bailey and how to be consistent in the correct way. I would highly recommend Simons class and one to one lessons More...

Simon has always gone above and beyond to help my dog and us as owner's, we can't believe how lucky we were to find him xxx

Really impressed with Simon when we first met our puppy was very happy and took to you straight away you are a lovely and fantastic dog trainer but I have felt the last few months you haven’t wanted to train my GSD seems to have favouritisms towards other dogs

Dog Walking

Simon has been a game-changer for us. Our very reactive french bulldog has become a different dog in all the best ways - in only two weeks! Simon and his family have such passion and kindness towards dogs and it really shines through in their approach. Simon adapts his methods to best suit each dog, which has worked wonders for our rather inquisitive, overexcited and bold frenchie! We have used Simon for dog sitting, stooge walks with his own dog and solo training walks. Simon's optimism has had a big impact on my anxiety around walks (those people with reactive dogs know what I'm talking about!), I now feel relaxed and excited to watch my dog improve, every single walk. He really is the dog whisperer! He's incredibly switched on to reading dogs and understanding individual character traits and what will work best, offering bespoke solutions and is very much a hands-on trainer. We'll be continuing to work with Simon and recommend him to anyone who wants real results delivered in a fuss-free, relaxed style. Thank you Simon (Sarah and Jessica) for all that you have done for Darwin and for showing us that there is light at the end of the tunnel! More...

Been working with Simon for about 5 months now, he literally changed our life! Owning Boris had become a massive chore and i didn't think I could cope much longer, until we started training with Simon!
Nothing was too much, not only did he help train Boris, but he also helped train us! Our lives are better and we owe this to Simon (The Ipswich Dog Whisper)

Dog Training

What a find! Simon 'the dog whisperer' is the perfect dog trainer and we couldn't recommend him more highly. We have been working with Simon since just before Christmas and the difference it has made has made to us, and Pumpkin, has been staggering. Each week we build on skills, commands and games. Pumpkin loves Simon and really enjoys her sessions (as do we). They whizz by and we look forward to the following week, practising the homework skills each day. Simon has become a dog friend and when one session ends, we look forward to the next. The sessions are very much a partnership, and very relaxed, and after a bad experience at another group, this is exactly what we were looking for. Don't hesitate, Simon is a great find - one who will help you work with you dog in a fun and caring way, building yours and your dog's confidence. More...

Really impressed with Simon. Our puppy is a little nervous around n new people. Simon walked in and she went straight up to him. By the end of the session she had learned new things and they were firm friends. More...

Q&As

Being able to work with dogs and their families.
Seeing the difference effective, positive training can have on a dogs behaviour and how it can build a strong, long lasting bond with their family.

Dogs have always been a huge part of my life and being able to work with them to create a positive difference is a pleasure.

I put my all into every case and love to see the change in the dogs and their families as progress is made.
I am always available for additional help and questions at any time.

I am happy to provide online services using video chat for customers requesting this type of training.
I can provide video clips for training specific behaviours along with written descriptions to assist clients.

I offer online services for customers who request it.
I also always wear a mask for the saftey of customers and am happy to provide training outside where necessary.

Services

I make healthy treats at home which are amazing for training as dogs love them.

These include tuna cake and liver cake which both have a strong smell for dogs which helps keep their attention.

These can be frozen until needed.

I sell these in batches and they last for several training sessions.
