Carrie's Canines & Friends

I have just finished my first block of 4 puppy classes with Carrie and I have already signed up for the next lot! From my initial enquiry, Carrie has been extremely professional and helpful. I cannot recommend her highly enough! The classes are so useful and I’m really happy with the progress. And I can tell my puppy is learning, he’s exhausted afterwards. Result! More...

We have attended 2 blocks of Carrie's training classes and couldn't speak more highly of her and what she teaches. Sully is not the easiest dog to work with as he is beyond excitable but over the last 10 weeks or so she has helped us no end to stop him jumping on the sofa, pulling on walks, recall, and most importantly getting control of his excitement levels. Although we're taking a break to put into practice what Carrie has taught us we will 100% be back for new classes in the near future. We also could recommend the training walks any higher. Seeing what Carrie does in the real world helped no end, and the DMT work has changed how Sully behaves on our daily walks :) p.s. Sully adores Carrie, and his opinion matters more than ours.

I have attended a number of Carrie's training sessions and can honestly recommend them for whatever your concerns or aims may be. The relationship between me and my dog has got stronger, and we have built her self restraint and also strategies to handle distractions and potential threats. I eagerly await the next advanced class that Carrie does :) More...

Thank 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 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!! More...

Dexter & I have been attending carries puppy school for the last few months. As a novice dog owner I was looking for a single source of information & advice which Carrie has provided time & time again. We have learnt all the basics and a few tricks. The classes are small which gives each person more attention which is great! If your looking for a relaxed puppy class where you & your dog can learn together then this is the one for you. ThNk you for all your help! More...

Carrie cared for our beloved 9 week old kitten Oliver on Saturday both in the morning and the afternoon so that we could attend a day convention. She met him beforehand so we could let her know his needs, etc. She sent us messages and photos as requested by us at both visits. On our arrival home, Oliver was happy and well fed and she has also given our other cats some treats so that they didn't feel left out. Highly recommend Carrie and her business. Thank mew. Kitty kisses love Oliver and his mummy and daddy. Xxx More...

I needed a cat sitter last min and Carrie was able to help. She immediately came round, met the cats and sorted the forms. I was a bit nervous at first, as it's the first time I've left the cats at home (they hated the cattery) and I had to convince my hubbie to give a 'stranger' access to the house. From the moment I met Carrie I fully trusted her. Both my cats are nervous so spent a lot of time playing 'hide and seek' with Carrie, but when I arrived home they had been well looked after. Carrie also kept me updated regularly with texts and photos, giving me that extra peace of mind. Would defo recommend, and plan to use again � More...

We needed a cat sitter on short notice, and we were recommended to contact Carrie. She responded promptly to our enquiry and quickly arranged with us to meet our cat. Jess is 12 now and this was our first trip leaving her alone post the death of our other cat, so we were anxious about leaving her. Jess took to Carrie immediately (which is high praise indeed) and we immediately took this as a good sign. Carrie provided regular updates during our trip and sent us photos of Jess. When we returned, Jess was well-fed and happy which is all we could have asked for. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Carrie's services. More...

I 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 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. More...

Carrie came to see our Jack Russell at home, who we got from a rescue centre 2 weeks prior, and took a lot of interest in teaching us how to train him out of some bad habits. Carrie showed us some really useful training techniques and also gave us some paperwork with further excellent tips on during the session that also helped us. After the session, Carrie followed up with regular emails to see how our Jack Russell was getting on - and then she gave more suggestions to help his behaviour as we gave feedback on how he was responding. 3 weeks on, Carrie is still keeping in touch - and our Jack Russell's behaviour is so much better. We would highly recommend Carrie - and we'd have no hesitation in booking her again in the future if our Jack Russell is naughty again in the future. Thank you Carrie. More...

Carrie recently provided cat sitting services for me, looking after two cats for a two week period, and I can highly recommend her. From the moment I met Carrie I was impressed with her responsiveness, her knowledge & attention to detail, and her professional yet down to earth personality. Carrie provided an excellent level of care to my two cats, sending us regular photos and updates about them, which was hugely reassuring. Having now experienced Carrie's cat sitting services I cannot imagine allowing anyone else to care for my pets and I will definitely be using Carrie again...and again! I can't recommend you highly enough, Carrie! More...

Carries has been brilliant with us and our pooch. She never puts him in a stressful situation and has helped us no end in understanding warning signs. She uses no scary shouty voice, or aversive techniques (which we experienced with our last behaviourist, hence getting Carrie in.)
She is good at training us too! We will continue to work with Carrie as she's approachable and continues to support us remotely via email in between visits.
I recommend her to anyone who has any behavioural issues, or anyone needing a little support in doing the right things.
Thanks Carrie �� More...

Carrie has looked after my two cats more times than I can remember now, life got in the way of me writing my review!!
I feel very comfortable to go away and know that my cats are being well looked after. They are never in a mood with me when I come home, so I know they've been loved.
She doesn't just look after my cats, she cleans up after them and I come home to exactly how I left it.
I HIGHLY recommend her, and will continue to use her lovely service in the future!! More...

I knew Carrie before she started her business so was confident she would be great to walk Harry, my dog. I wasn't wrong and he was always very happy with her. My elderly mum was at home with him when we were away and it was good to know Carrie was keeping an eye on her too! We lost Harry at the start of the year, Carrie posted a moving tribute to him which meant such a lot to me. Carrie cares about all the animals she looks after and I would have no hesitation in recommending her and hope I have the opportunity to use her services again. More...

Carrie walks our two dogs for us regularly and I highly recommend her service. Our dogs Simba and Oscar (rough collie and pointer) have very different needs which Carrie has taken the time to understand and then find ways to keep them both happy on their walks. Oscar requires a handler who can manage his instincts to go off and hunt for things, and Carrie is one of the few people I trust to manage him safely off the lead. I'm pretty fussy with who I trust with my dogs, but have never worried about them at all since Carrie took their walks over.

Book in now before the spaces run out! More...

Carrie recently house sat our cat. I can't sing her praises highly enough. It's a worry not only leaving your pet but also giving someone access to your home. All of these worries were eleviated immediately on meeting Carrie. She is extremely professional and also a really kind person. Whilst away we had regular updates on our cat and she even drew our curtains and took the post in. Carrie deserve's the 5 star rating and we will be using her and only her in the future. More...

We asked Carrie to come and help us with out new puppy on a 1:1 basis as we had absolutely no idea of how or where to start training him. Carrie came ladden with all sorts of treats and training ideas. Milo really took to Carrie and was very susceptible to all her requests. Carrie started with the basics and swiftly moved to more demanding commands. The evening passed very quickly but all her advice we took seriously and now a few months later we have a lovely obedient well adjusted puppy. Her advice was such a great help especially in areas we'd never even thought of - thank you Carrie!! More...

Carrie is a professional carer and was wonderful with my pet guinea pigs. She followed all the tedious instructions I left out and kept the place immaculate despite the hay flying everywhere! She administered medication for my guinea pig when he was ill as well. Above all, she loves animals and clearly cares for them which I think is what's most important.

I 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 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! More...
