I have taken both my young dogs to training with Emma. It’s not easy but you reap the benefits as it all comes together over time. I have seen amazing progress in both my boys. I have really learned that you have to put the work in at home and in the classes, consistency is key. Highly recommended
We are so pleased with all the progress made, we had a very shy puppy who is now a confident young dog thanks to your help and training.
Lola and I have been attending classes in Colchester since Lola was 16 weeks old. She's now 18 months and we've just completed the full 44 weeks. It's been an incredible journey. We've both learnt so much and I'm extremely grateful for the training and guidance we've had from Vicki. The training methods used are fun, varied and tailored to every dogs ability. Training any dog isn't an overnight process, it takes time, dedication and a lot of patience, but the bond you get with your dog during that process is amazing. We've loved every minute of our journey so far and we're now planning our next course with Best Behaviour Dog Training.
Just brilliant training - knowledgable friendly instructors and training that works - Can't recommend enough
We attended Stowupland classes and loved doing them so much. We learned loads and will be coming back to do more
Percy is a different dog after 10 weeks of mind and body work classes. Thank you from us both

We absolutely loved your Mind and Body class today! Rusty is asleep now after his mental and physical exercise and our bond is feeling even more special! Can't wait for next week, thank you 🐾
Amazing hour. Bracken thought it was easy but it soon got harder. Well done to all the puppies in our session.
I took my puppy (Ellie) to Zoe's Training Classes mainly to get Ellie socialised with other young puppies in a safe and friendly environment, which is what we got. Zoe was very friendly and approachable and had a lot of time for myself and Ellie. The classes were very enjoyable and I was surprised on how much Ellie and I both learnt. I would highly recommend Zoe to any of my family or friends with a puppy.
So proud of Coco on her 1st sleepover with a dog sitter. Just shows the training works, thanks Zoe and team.
Jeff had a very bad start to life and when we brought him home he was a very nervous and uncertain dog. I called Zoe for some help and guidance and I can certainly say all her advice was excellent, so a big thank you Zoe. Jeff suffered with separation anxiety, but with Zoe's help this is very much improved. We reward and praise all the time and Jeff now sits to command :0). Jeff is a much more relaxed dog and each day we see more of his great personality coming through.
I had a dog that I could only describe as a nightmare to train and walk. I had tried everything, training him at home, classes, residential training. But nothing worked, he just didn't listen and was becoming uncontrollable as a 40kg adult German shepherd. I spoke with Zoe and she assured me that with the right training and approach Baxter could become a reformed character. She was right! A few weeks on and the improvement was incredible. We are 6 months into our training and he walks to heal, comes when called and is a joy to walk. Thankyou Zoe it's changed our life.
Great advice but also simple to understand. Thank you for helping my Beagle with his separation anxiety.
So glad we enlisted the help of Zoe for our generally anxious 2 year old dog Florence who also had separation anxiety since a puppy. The advice was simply and clearly given and we could also get in touch anytime to ask questions if needed. Zoe clearly loves dogs and is very approachable and friendly. Our dog could not be left alone at all, now after a few weeks she can be happily left for a considerable amount of time. Florence was very anxious before we had the help of Zoe and had become withdrawn, now she is much happier, playful and very much part of our family. Thank you Zoe
Zoe and her team are amazing! I would have never believed my dog would be completing a whole agility circuit on the first day without a lead. You have possibly helped me to make a very crazy energetic spaniel focus on something for longer than a minute! Highly recommend!
Another fantastic morning for some of our dogs as they got out and enjoyed the sunny weather by getting involved with some of the Best Behaviour Dog Training sessions this morning. Great fun for dogs and people alike!!
Excellent training - highly recommend
Rosie age 6 was extremely nervous around other dogs and people. Pulled on lead and barked at other dogs and people she came across while walking. We attended Zoe's classes and Rosie soon began to behave better and with plenty of very useful tips I was able to train her at home and improve her behaviour dramatically. Each new dog is assessed prior to commencement of the classes to meet the right training requirement for each individual dog and not just become a number in the group. Zoe's way of training is all about rewarding the dog and keep them happy without realising they are at school! Zoe knows dogs very well and all her heart is in providing best service for the owner but specially the dog itself. I attended a class in the past and was advised Rosie was too old to train. She was certainly not. Strongly recommended. :-)
Zoë s classes are very friendly and relaxed. Depending on your dogs ability and age Zoë will differentiate the class so that your dog will get the most from it and improve your dogs behaviour. Zoë is always available for any queries, questions and will give you useful strategies during and after the class and is always more than happy to help. It is really enjoyable to take your dog out and about and it behaves well with other dogs and is sociable with people.
'We took our Sprocker puppy Freddie to training with Zoe and her able assistant Carl at Stowmarket. We immediately felt welcome by them and the other dog owners. The classes were fun and interesting for both the dogs and their owners and there was even an agility set up. At the first lesson we were asked to let our dogs off the lead at the half way point, which initially filled me with dread. However, we were reassured by Zoe that none of the dogs would run off. In fact they all played together close by.I have already recommended a work colleague who is now taking their dog Alfie to the Ipswich Saturday class. I would highly recommend new dog owners to attend the beginners classes.
I took my puppy to these classes and have found them so helpful. We recommend to all first time puppy owners
We contacted Zoe after having problems with our little Jack Russell Bridget who we adopted at 9 months old. She had a whole range of behavioural issues from aggression to other dogs, disappearing on walks, going to the toilet on her bed, jumping up ...the list really was endless. Zoe spent a full 2 hours understanding Bridget and then more time teaching us how to build her confidence and tackle each issue individually. She really knows her stuff and has an unrivalled love for dogs. I would recommend her to anyone with a dog that has developed any behavioural trait. She had an easy and manageable solution to all our problems. Bridget is now a very confident and happy little dog :-)
We have a 6 year old border terrier, then introduced a border terrier puppy in to the family. As she was too young for classes (not fully covered by jabs)we decided to start training early at home. Zoe was brilliant, both myself (an experienced dog owner - or so I thought!?) and my 5 year old daughter learnt so much and it's really paying off, we have a 4 month old puppy who's much more obedient than her 6 year old companion. As we're restricted with levels of exercise at this age, we use training in the evenings to both bond with our new girl and keep her mind active. We wish we'd have done this with our older dog, but he's really keen to join in and learn new tricks - especially when there are treats about:-)I'd recommend a 1-2-1 session for any new puppy owner, I'm now keen to go on the puppy course too, knowing that we have a great foundation to build from.

Good practical advice that was easy to follow and actually worked. Very happy with best behaviour, Zoe certainly helped solve my dogs problems
We attended puppy classes at Martlesham and it was a lovely setting to train my pup with lots of space and friendly people. All the training was treat based and we got excellent results doing this. We never realised it was okay to use treats like this to train. It’s been a life saver for us.
We attended 24 weeks of training and Percy has grown to be a great little dog. With lots of personality and is just excellent with his training. We are so pleased we enrolled in these puppy classes. Thankyou Best Behaviour
Thankyou Best Behaviour team, we have a well trained happy puppy thanks to all your help.
I have been bringing my puppy Spud to these classes for a few weeks and they are excellent. Really great advice and help
