Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between puppy training and dog training?
Puppy training focuses on building good foundations such as toilet training, recall, and socialisation. Dog training often addresses specific challenges like lead pulling, reactivity, or recall struggles.
How long will it take to see results?
Most owners notice positive changes after the very first session. Long-term results come from consistent training, follow-up sessions, and applying the structured programme.
Do you use positive reinforcement methods?
Yes. All programmes are based on kind, reward-based methods that build trust and confidence.

EXCELLENT Based on 67 reviews Lauren Smith2025-10-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carrie has been amazing with my whippet x greyhound, Odie. She is so lovely and friendly and has been really supportive in helping me get things right. When things weren't working for Odie (as every dog is different), she came up with bespoke 'tweaks' to the training that made the world of difference. It's so nice to walk him and be able to pass other dogs with no drama anymore! We plan to continue working with Carrie through her maintenence programmes. Only wish I'd known about her sooner! Would recommend Carrie to anyone that wants a fantastic trainer that will really work to understand their dog and the best tactics built around their personality for successful outcomes. Naomi Wood2025-09-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We can’t recommend Carrie enough! She’s been amazing with our Labrador puppy, Chester, from the very start. When he was tiny and just learning to walk on the lead, Carrie showed us how to build his confidence and make it a positive experience. As he’s grown, she’s guided us all the way through recall and even scent training. Carrie has such a great, easy-going approach and makes everything really relatable and simple to understand. We’ve learned so much, and Chester absolutely loves his sessions. If you’re looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely brilliant with dogs, Carrie is the one! Jacob Spruce2025-08-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carrie helped us tremendously, and we are very grateful for her help and support! We will continue to use her forever and recommend her to everyone!! Farhana Bhayat2025-07-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I rang quite a few companies before I made contact with Carrie. I realised with just a phonecall Carrie was a great trainer. I spoke to her for 30 minutes and this was before I signed or paid for any classes. She gave me her time and she was reassuring and supportive. Carrie is amazing with dogs, she's so compassionate about what she does and it shows, the way she was with our little golden pup, she adored her. We worked on leash training, re call and she showed us many calming games for our energetic little pup. I cannot recommend her enough. She's all around an amazing dog trainer and a kind genuine person. Thank you for all your help Carrie! ❤️ Jane Douglas2025-06-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carrie has been brilliant, working with Kibo's separation anxiety. It's hard work but Kibo has responded and progressed well in a relatively short time. Still work in progress but my emphasis is on "progress". Carrie also covered so many other aspects which have been a tremendous success.... training games, recall and Kibo's non-stop buffet habits whilst out on a walk. He's positively a different dog. Thank you Carrie! April Ross2025-05-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I called Carrie mid-walk with my dogs to ask if she could help us as I was at a complete loss as to what to do. It was the best decision I could have made. We have two very different dogs, with one being very reactive on lead walks, which was beginning to have a negative effect on the other dog, and really affecting our walks. My Husband and I dreaded going on walks and didn't know what to do for the best. Carrie worked with us over a number of weeks, to really get to know us and our dogs. She taught us so many tips and tricks that I'm pleased to say had an almost instantaneous effect and we couldn't be more happy. Our walks have completely changed and are a joy again. There is still work to do but we have the tools to do this now. Thank you so much Carrie, from the Ross family Adam2025-03-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carrie is excellent, she works out what you and your dog needs are, and tailors the training accordingly, being a first time dog owner she has been super helpful! Can't recommend enough! Aimee Megan2025-03-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing, we really struggled when we got our crazy spaniel, Carrie helped us with teaching him to settle and be content in his crate which has been the biggest blessing. He was so scared of other dogs and we have now conquered that too his recall is perfect and for a spaniel that’s no easy task. Thank you for everything!! Matthew West2025-03-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carrie has been an incredible help with Daisy, helping her become the model dog! She has helped us with: - General good behaviour on walks and when meeting people - Overcoming a fear of going in cars - Overcoming separation anxiety And many more smaller things. I would strongly recommend Carrie, and we will be making use of her expertise again when we get our second puppy! Thank you, Carrie! Robert Marsh2025-03-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had a great experience with Carrie helping us and our wonderful, but reactive Cavapoo Freddie. From our first meeting, Carrie has been ever so thoughtful and attentive when we are working together training Freddie, has lots of practical problem solving ideas, hints and tips and has enabled us to successfully target and improve key behaviours related to key triggers. There's also been lots of reading and video material shared to help us between sessions. We would absolutely recommend Carrie to anyone looking for help in training their dog!
