Meet Carrie – Award-Winning Dog Trainer in Coventry
I’m Carrie Stuthridge, owner of Carrie’s Canines & Friends. I understand how overwhelming life with a struggling dog can feel, which is why my approach is supportive, non-judgemental and focused on helping you understand the why behind your dog’s behaviour—not just the symptoms.
For over 9 years, I’ve helped dogs and their owners build stronger relationships through personalised, reward-based training. Every programme is tailored to the individual dog, their home and their owner’s goals, creating lasting change rather than quick fixes.
As an IABTC Accredited Behaviour Professional, SA Pro Behaviour Consultant and Pet Professional Guild Member, I use kind, evidence-based training and regularly complete Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to keep my knowledge up to date.
My work has been highlighted on ITV’s This Morning, I’ve provided training and support for assistance dog teams with Dogs for Autism, and I’ve been recognised as one of the Top 3 Dog Trainers in Coventry for eight consecutive years.
Together, we’ll build the skills and confidence needed for a calmer, happier life with your dog.

1:1 Puppy Training – Dream Puppy Programme
Your puppy starts learning the moment they arrive home. My programme begins in your home, then progresses outdoors to build recall, focus, and calm walking skills. This sets you both up for a lifetime of success.

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.
"I'd recommend Carrie in a heartbeat - whether you're new to owning a dog or someone with a specific problem, I guarantee she will be the best person you could call. It's difficult to over-state the positive impact she has had on Penny's life and Penny's owners lives as a result."
