If you’re looking for dog training across Coventry and Warwickshire, Carrie’s Canines & Friends provides personalised one-to-one training and behaviour support designed around you and your dog. From puppy training and adolescent dog support to behaviour consultations and separation anxiety programmes, I work with owners across Coventry, Leamington Spa, Kenilworth and surrounding Warwickshire locations, helping dogs and their owners achieve lasting results through tailored, reward-based training.

Every dog is different, which is why all programmes are tailored to the individual dog, their behaviour, their environment and their owner’s goals. Whether you’re struggling with recall, lead pulling, barking, reactivity or puppy foundations, support is designed to deliver practical results that fit everyday life.
Training takes place in real-world environments where dogs can learn and succeed around genuine distractions, helping owners build confidence and achieve lasting change.

Many owners are surprised to discover that personalised behaviour and training support is available closer to home than they expected.

Successful dog training is about more than what happens during a session. That’s why support is delivered in locations that reflect your dog’s everyday experiences.
Depending on your dog’s needs, training may take place in suitable local environments where real-life distractions can be incorporated into the programme. This practical approach helps dogs build reliable skills that work outside of controlled training settings.
Puppy training provides the foundations for a confident, well-mannered dog. Support covers common puppy challenges including biting, toileting, lead walking, socialisation and recall.

Many dog owners come for help after trying generic advice that hasn’t worked. My approach focuses on understanding the whole dog, not simply the behaviour you can see on the surface.
Training is tailored to your dog’s personality, breed tendencies, environment and emotional wellbeing. By combining practical coaching with owner education, the goal is to create long-term success rather than temporary fixes.

EXCELLENT Based on 84 reviews Posted on Google brian parrittTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Artemis and Alejandro had 5 days training with Carrie what a improvement she has made for these 2 Dalmatians i’m glad we went with Carrie I would recommend her to anybodyPosted on Google RichardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had some great training sessions with Carrie with noticeable results. She took the time initially to really understand our cocker spaniel’s personality & our needs & then formulated a training plan to help. Carrie was at hand if we needed any further help between training sessions & always responded promptly with some encouraging advice. We feel Carrie has now given us all the training tools needed to embed those right behaviours. Many thanks from Jenny & RichardPosted on Google VicTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carrie was extremely helpful and patient with training ideas for our VERY lively puppy.Working with him and adapting to our needs and requirements as we went along. It’s obviously a work in progress but we feel there has been a lot of progress and we are definitely getting there thanks to all her help and advice. Would definitely recommend !!!Posted on Google ShannonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carrie was amazing, always listened to my concerns and shown ways around them! My puppy picked up so much with the programme we went with! Thanks so much CarriePosted on Google jotinder dhillonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing work with Carrie - So good with my dog and for all her tips etc - would highly recommendPosted on Google Marta LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have contacted Carrie 10 months ago as we had behaviour issues with our 4 year old dog. Inka had huge anxiety problems, was scared of fireworks, loud cars on the roads, loud exhaust pipes, any bangs, shooting sounds, sounds of closing the car doors, you name it. These 10 months have been a journey full of ups and downs and if not Carrie's support, patience and encouragement I think we would have given up a long time ago. Although our journey to help Inka has not finished yet, thanks to Carrie, we have found out that her behavioural issues are caused by health issues, as Inka has been diagnosed with enteropathy. Inka is now on a new diet, medication and with continuous training we have been noticing improvements. Carrie is an amazing trainer and has wealth of knowledge which she shares with everyone. Her dedication to help dogs and their owners is amazing and we would not hesitate to recommend her to any dog owners.Posted on Google Natasha HoleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to Carrie through a recommendation and I’m glad I did. My Sproodle Murphy was doing okay but we really needed some guidance on lead walking and impulse control. We soon worked out that he was a quick learner and ended up working on some basic gun dog training. Since going to Carrie he has really improved especially on his impulse control and his recall, but most of all my confidence which I think was part of the problem. I now have the tools to continue our training on our own, but knowing I can always go back when I encounter any problems that we need guidance on.Posted on Google lauraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Carrie was really helpful. She listens to your concerns and issues and gives you advice and skills to help. I have learnt a lot about how to get the best out of my puppy and it was a great investment.Highly recommendPosted on Google Samantha ColleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We cannot thank Carrie enough for the judgement-free advice on handling our overly boisterous golden retriever Hugo. Teaching him to be calm with positive reinforcement, finding techniques that work for Hugo and our lifestyle too. We have done so much work on improving our relationship with Hugo, working on recall, lead-work, guarding behaviours and how to be calm. Our home is so much more relaxed with Carries help and my only regret is that we didn’t ask for her help sooner. Thanks Carrie for genuinely caring!Posted on Google Christine HurcombTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carrie has been amazing in helping us train our Lakeland terrier, Bracken. It was a difficult 1st year but with Carrie's calm approach and wonderful training we got there in the end. She is always there to offer help and advice when needed. We cannot recommend Carrie enough to anyone looking for an excellent dog trainer.
