Welcome to IC Dog Training

We had the pleasure of working with Isabel as our dog trainer, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Isabel impressed us with her thoughtful approach. She took the time to keenly listen to our concerns and made insightful observations about our interactions with our two dogs. Her training methods were grounded in common sense, and she had an incredible ability to explain our dogs' behaviors in a way that was easy to understand and relate to. This not only helped us address the issues we were facing but also strengthened the bond we have with our dogs. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and empathetic dog trainer, we strongly recommend Isabel. She truly made a positive difference for our family, and we’re so grateful for her guidance!

We called Isabel to help us with our young dog and her excessive barking which was proving an issue for us and potentially for our neighbours. We wanted to "nip it in the bud" and despite working on it in our own way, we wanted to gain the insights of a professional. Isabel sent us a "barking profile sheet" to fill in before she came to our home and observed our puppy "in action". She was initially able to help us withour puppy's jumping up and excitement, giving us the strategy that worked almost instantly without depriving our puppy of the attention she was seeking. Isabel then helped us with strategies to mitigate the "triggers" that result in the excessive barking and helped us implement them during a short walking lesson in our neighbourhood. Isabel was great to talk to and listened to our questions. Isabel followed up our session with an email summarising what to do in various scenarios. We highly recommend having Isabel come and help anyone with any puppy or dog problems they may have.

Isabel has been working with our 3 y.o. dog for a few weeks now. His behavior has improved markedly, and she’s given us plenty of useful tips and guidance we are using with him. She clearly explains everything we need to know to train our dog out of lunging and chasing everything that moves, and is very affectionate and patient with him. I would definitely say you should hire her for walking and training.

Isabel had an instant rapport with Crunchie, my rambunctious 3-month-old lagotto puppy. He responded to her positive training methods, such that he displayed the behaviours I have been seeking. Now it is up to me to be consistent with the same methods that Isabel clearly explained, along with the reasons behind them, and ensured that I could apply myself. However, I know that she is always only a text or call away. Thank you Isabel!

Isabel’s been great with our dog. Since she’s started walking and training him, he’s immediately become calmer, and much less reactive. She’s also taken the time to show us how to desensitise him, with great results. Would definitely recommend her.

Isabel gave me some seriously game changing tips and strategies! Looking forward to working with her again and would highly recommend 💯"

Isabel does brighten up Pork Chop's day!! We are very lucky to have someone that loves our dog just like we do! Her training has been so helpful. Pork Chops recall continues to improve after every visit with Isabel. THANK YOU!!!

Isabel is fantastic! My rescue pup loved her immediately and Isabel gave me actionable tools for me to use and great information including a detailed follow up email and brought me print outs to support our training for my over excitable pup!
