121 Puppy Training Coventry
Helping new owners with their puppy training in Coventry, Kenilworth & Leamington Spa

Welcoming a new puppy is exciting, but if you’re searching for 121 Puppy Training in Coventry, it probably means things aren’t feeling quite as joyful as you’d hoped.
You might be wondering whether to comfort your crying puppy or leave them to settle on their own.
You knew puppies were mouthy, but didn’t expect to feel like you’re living with a land shark.
Or maybe you’re second-guessing everything from sleep routines and toilet training to how to handle biting, crying at night or accidents on the rug while trying to make sense of all the advice online. The good news? There’s a clear, kind way forward.
Maybe your puppy’s biting, crying at night, or peeing on the rug minutes after you’ve taken them out. Or maybe you’re just overwhelmed by all the conflicting advice online.
You’re not alone, and you’re absolutely not failing. I’m here to help you feel confident, supported, and clear on what to do next — with kind, proven training that works in the real world.
This isn’t just about teaching sit or toilet training. It’s about giving you the tools to raise a calm, confident dog who can cope with life — and giving you the confidence to enjoy puppyhood again.

121 Puppy Training covering Coventry
Bringing a new puppy into your home is exciting, but it can also feel chaotic — especially if you’re not sure how to get it right from the start. You might feel like your life’s been turned upside down and all you do is follow your puppy around, cleaning up accidents or trying to stop them biting everything in sight.
Whether you’ve had dogs before or are completely new to puppy life, I’ll help you make sense of it all with clear, kind, and science-based support tailored to you and your pup.
Through my 121 puppy training in Coventry, I’ll give you practical, real-life solutions to common struggles like toilet training, biting, crying at night, and overwhelming advice from the internet.
You’ll build a strong bond with your puppy, learn how to communicate clearly, and feel confident in handling challenges — all while using positive reinforcement techniques that make the time you spend together a joy.
My Dream Puppy Programme is designed to support you every step of the way — not just during our 121 sessions, but in between too. You’ll have WhatsApp access to me throughout, so it’s like having a trainer in your pocket when questions or wobbles come up.
I’ll help you understand the why behind your puppy’s behaviour — and give you the tools to change it.
My goal is to help you bring up a well behaved puppy who is a pleasure to be around that is well-adjusted, well behaved and socially acceptable dog that makes you proud
Coventry’s No.1 Puppy Training Specialist – bringing you the Dream Puppy Programme to solve problems before they start
Your puppy is learning from the moment they come home, so by starting your puppy training at home, we’ll be setting your new puppy up for success from the very beginning.
Inside the Dream Puppy Programme, we’ll cover:
Toilet training routines that actually work, even if your puppy wees the minute you bring them back inside
Mouthing and biting — how to reduce those needle-sharp nips without damaging your bond
Crate training and sleep support, so everyone in the house can get some rest
Understanding your puppy’s emotions and why early support now prevents bigger problems later
Socialisation done right — including what not to do when introducing your puppy to the world
Handling over-excitement or overwhelm, especially in busy places or when children are involved
Nutrition advice to support behaviour, gut health, and overall wellbeing
Building confidence early — to help prevent separation anxiety as your puppy grows
Learning your puppy’s body language, play style, and stress signals
Creating calmness at home, so your puppy learns how to switch off as well as have fun
And because this is personalised 121 puppy training, I’ll tailor everything to your home, your lifestyle, and your puppy. No cookie-cutter advice here.
Book your free 20-minute breakthrough call and let’s set your puppy up for success from day one.
Not sure what to feed your puppy? You’re not alone puppy nutrition is one of the most common worries new owners have, and it’s something I often support clients with during our 121 sessions.
I’ve written a helpful blog called “What Should I Feed My Puppy?” to guide you through the basics.
You can also explore the All About Dog Food website to compare different brands, although it can feel a bit overwhelming, so don’t worry if it leaves you with more questions. I’m here to help make sense of it all.

What do the sessions look like?
We’ll start with a 90-minute Puppy Starter Session, where I’ll come to your home and help you get set up for success right from the beginning. Together, we’ll cover essentials like toilet training, crate settling, puppy biting, sleep routines, nutrition, and how to start socialising your puppy safely and calmly.
After your starter session, you’ll have the option of 2 or 4 follow-up sessions (approx. 45 minutes each), where we’ll continue to build on your puppy’s learning and introduce core life skills to prepare them for the real world.
Throughout the programme, you’ll also have WhatsApp access to me, so whether you’ve had a wobbly night or a breakthrough moment, you’ve got a trainer in your pocket who genuinely cares about your progress.
Because I work on a 121 basis in your home, everything we do is tailored to your puppy, your lifestyle, and your goals. No generic plans just kind, thoughtful training that works in real life.
When you’re ready to get started, just book a call and we’ll begin building your puppy’s bright future together.

Here is what our customers say....
We have just completed the 6 week dream puppy plan with Carrie after she was recommended to us. We have learnt so much from the classes and also the online… read more resources available to look back on at home. As first time puppy owners it was one of the best decisions we have made as we have seen a huge improvement in our puppies behaviour and also given us heaps of knowledge and understanding. The classes cover a wide range of things from basic behaviour and recall to tricks and also fun games. Carrie demonstrates everything on her own dogs which is really helpful and gives you a clearer understanding of how to do things. Carrie is professional, friendly, patient and extremely knowledgeable. Nothing is too much trouble, we have been able to reach out at any time for advice or recommendations and always get a quick response. Carrie even went out of her way to catch us up after missing a session which we are extremely grateful for. We will definitely be recommending Carrie to anyone we know with a puppy/dog!

May 13, 2023I would definitely recommend Carries puppy training, she worked wonders with my cockapoo Alfie and certainly made me feel much more comfident in my handling of him.

April 19, 2019I have worked alongside Carrie in a professional capacity shadowing behaviour consults and is the only behaviourist I trust in the immediate area to help me with my own dogs… read more reactivity issues that surface within a class environment. Not only that, but her hard work, passion and talent is more than obvious when her own dog, lovely Maisie moo comes to my own advanced classes! It is so lovely to have such a fantastic working relationship with another local trainer and behaviourist, and to have someone who I trust to refer on to if I feel that I need to refer upwards for behaviour consults. I don’t just consider Carrie a professional colleague, but a friend too. Carrie is conscientious, knowledgeable, committed to her own professional development and as a result only uses the most up to date force free methods. She is also hilarious to work with!

February 2, 2017Highly recommended! Carrie has been an invaluable support for us and our spaniel pup, who is almost a year old now. We’ve done lockdown Zoom puppy training, had 1-2-1 advice… read more and outdoor group classes – building on basics and loose lead training. Throughout Carrie has given lots of support and help when we needed it. She has lots of materials to back up the face to face work. Reading materials and refresher videos relating to what was covered in class and the reasoning behind it are made available. Aside from this the philosophy is very much understanding the dog and working through the stages of puppy development. This is really helpful and develops a strong life-long bond with your best furry friend! ❤️

June 21, 2021Zach our Labrador pup began training and socialisation classes with Carrie from the day his vaccine program got completed. In the 6 week program Zach has grown from a shy… read more to a confident, well behaved pup. Carrie guided us during these 6 weeks sharing her knowledge so that we were able to make sure Zach was of to a great start at home. Would strongly recommend Carrie especially to first time dog owners.

September 15, 2020My contact with Carrie began many weeks before we brought our new pup home and she could not have been more helpful with providing a wide range of advice and… read more support. In the last few weeks Carrie has visited our home for a 1:1 session, which was brilliant and helped us a great deal, especially as this is the first time that we have ever had a dog. Carrie’s advice on establishing a sleep routine was fab and our little pup now sleeps throughout the night without a peep. Carrie has also provided very prompt and helpful responses to all of my follow-up queries. I would highly recommend Carrie’s support to others. She is patient, knowledgeable and shows great passion for the work she does. Thank you Carrie!

August 11, 2020We can’t thank Carrie enough for how much she has helped our 1 yr old Boston Terrier with his confidence issues. We had a few 1-1 sessions and already, we… read more are delighted to see that Buddy is like a different pup! Walks are now enjoyable and stress free and he’s so much happier (and so are we!) Carrie is patient, full of great ideas and advice and knows exactly how to help in unique situations. We now feel we understand Buddy and his anxiety and we are confident to know what is right or wrong for him in different situations. We’d recommend Carrie’s Canines to everyone! Thank you for all your help!

October 24, 2020Thank you so much for looking after our cat Angel!! After our 2 week holiday we came back to a very happy puss!! For a very highly strung cat who… read more can’t cope with a cattery your service is an ideal solution and we are grateful we have found someone who we trust to look after our cat and put our minds at rest while we are away. The photos you send and put on FB, Twitter etc help do this as well!! Fantastic service!!

Helen Hughes
September 24, 2016I asked carrie for her help after we adopted a puppy and spoilt her rotton so she became a little monster. She asked how often our puppy was walked… read more and didn’t judge when it became obvious that she wasnt getting enough exercise. We set off on our first walk and ran into carrie by chance. She showed us a fab hour long walk which we do every single day. My other dog who is not a little monster is now good friends with carries dog and one of carries charges and carrie has helped turn walking from a chore into a chance to spend two hours in the woods every day and enjoy the company of my dogs. She has tips for every single behaviour I have asked her about and she has helped me have confidence in myself as a dog owner. I now have happy dogs. Carrie takes pleasure in your victories and is a fantastically supportive lady. Carrie is fantastic with all dogs and knows all the dogs and owners on our route.
