Meet Carrie – Award-Winning Dog Trainer in Coventry
I’m Carrie Stuthridge, owner of Carrie’s Canines & Friends. I know how overwhelming life with a struggling dog can feel, which is why my approach is supportive, non-judgemental and focused on helping you understand what is driving your dog’s behaviour, not simply trying to stop the behaviour you can see.
I look at the whole picture, including your dog’s emotions, environment, learning history and the skills they need to cope better in everyday life.
My professional behaviour knowledge and practical experience mean I can help you make sense of what is happening, work out what your dog needs and give you clear, realistic training that fits both your dog and your lifestyle.
The aim is not just to teach a set of exercises. It is to help you understand your dog more deeply, feel more confident in what you are doing and make everyday life together easier.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between puppy training and dog training?
Puppy training focuses on building strong foundations from the start, including toilet training, recall, lead walking, socialisation, focus and settling.
Dog training is for older puppies and adult dogs who need help with everyday skills such as recall, pulling on the lead, focus, overexcitement and settling around distractions.
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."
