Meet Carrie

Carrie has always had a deep love and respect for dogs, and her journey into training began through hands on experience rescuing, fostering and rehoming street dogs while living abroad. Working with dogs from a wide variety of backgrounds taught her the importance of patience, trust and understanding every dog as an individual. Her own rescue dog, who became a much loved companion, played a particularly important role in shaping the way she works today.

Inspired by these experiences, Carrie decided to turn her passion into a career, retraining as a professional dog trainer and completing qualifications with both the IMDT and the Dog Training College.

Before working professionally with dogs, Carrie spent several years teaching English in the Middle East. Working with both groups and individuals helped her develop excellent communication skills, patience and the ability to adapt her teaching to different learning styles. She now brings these same skills into every training session, helping owners better understand their dogs and feel confident throughout their training journey.

Today, Carrie works with dogs and their families across Kent and also trains puppies for ‘Autism Dogs’, helping prepare future assistance dogs for their important roles. She is passionate about helping dogs and their owners build calm, positive and lasting relationships. Her approach is always kind, patient and dog centred, focusing on building trust first and creating training that is enjoyable for both dogs and their owners.
