COACH CARLY ACADEMY🦮
Kind Training.
Clear Guidance. Lifelong Skills.
Coach Carly Academy is being developed as a welcoming centre for reward-based dog training, practical owner education and real-life learning.
The Academy will bring together small group classes, private coaching, behaviour support, free resources and future educational programmes designed to help dogs and their people succeed together.
Every element is being created around welfare, kindness, clear communication and practical progress.
Training Built on Trust
Coach Carly Academy believes that effective training begins with understanding the individual dog.
Dogs learn most successfully when they feel safe, supported and clear about what is being asked of them. Training should strengthen the relationship between dogs and their people rather than rely on fear, force or intimidation.
The Academy approach combines reward-based methods, practical coaching, thoughtful progression and skills that can be used in everyday life.

Meet the Coach Carly Dog Training Academy Team
Coach Carly Academy began with one woman, two rescue dogs and a determination to understand dogs more deeply.
Teddy and Moose have shaped the Academy’s values, humour and commitment to training the dog in front of us.
Carly McIntyre
Founder & Coach
Carly is developing Coach Carly Academy while completing her professional dog-training studies with the IMDT.
Inspired by her rescue dogs, she is building an Academy centred on reward-based training, clear owner guidance and practical support for everyday life.
Moose
Co-Founder & Chief Happiness Officer
Moose is a small Chihuahua with an enormous personality.
His journey from a frightened rescue dog to a much-loved family companion continues to influence the Academy’s focus on confidence, patience and celebrating small steps.
Teddy
Co-Founder & Welfare Ambassador
Teddy has helped Carly understand anxiety, communication, individual needs and the importance of adapting training to the dog.
He reminds the Academy team that behaviour always has a reason and welfare must come first.
Coach Carly Academy grew from Carly’s experience with Teddy and Moose, two rescue dogs who arrived with fears, needs and very different personalities.
Learning to understand them sparked a complete change of direction. Carly began studying dog training, behaviour, learning theory and canine communication while continuing a long professional career in executive support.
She is currently preparing for her IMDT assessment and developing the Academy in advance of her planned return to Kent.
The years spent living in the Middle East have formed an important part of this journey. They brought adventure, challenge, personal growth and the opportunity to rescue Teddy and Moose.
The Academy represents the next chapter: bringing that experience home and creating a kind, professional dog-training community in Kent.
Teddy and Moose inspired a complete change of direction in my life. Learning to understand their fears, needs and personalities became the foundation of Coach Carly Academy.

The Academy Standard

Small, Supportive Groups
Group classes are designed to provide space, individual support and a calm learning environment.
Individual Progression
Training criteria are adapted to the dog rather than forcing every dog through the same timetable.
Practical Coaching
Owners learn what to do, why it works and how to continue successfully at home.
Evidence-Informed Methods
Training is based on modern learning principles, observation and ongoing professional development.
Honest Expectations
No ethical trainer can guarantee a specific result. Progress depends on health, history, environment and consistent practice.
Welfare and Safety
Dogs remain appropriately managed, have suitable space and are never forced to interact.
Professional Development - Coach Carly
Coach Carly Academy is being built alongside continued professional study, practical development and specialist education.
Carly is currently preparing for her IMDT assessment and continues to develop her knowledge through courses, webinars, practical training and behaviour-focused learning.
Qualifications and continued professional development will be updated as further study and assessments are completed.
