FIVE SENSES
DOG TRAINING & WALKING

Hi, I'm Naomi!
I'm guessing you're here because you either own a dog or hope to get one in future, and if so you're in the right place!
I'm a qualified and insured Dog Trainer with a Level 3 in Canine Behaviour from the IMDT and Professional Dog Walking Certification from the MDWA.
I specialise in training Assistance Dogs. I can also help with other dog training and behavioural issues, including loose lead walking, recall, obedience and reactivity. In addition to this, I am now offering Solo Dog Walking & Pet Sitting.
My services are available in Knutsford and online, with occasional travel to Stockport and Manchester city centre.
I'm passionate about helping dog owners grow their relationship with their dog. I believe the best way to modify dog behaviour is to tap into their innate senses - sight, smell, sound, touch and taste - which drive their every move.
Using rewards based, force-free methods, I can help your dog develop a love for learning and overcome a range of problems.
REVIEWS
Some of the lovely reviews I have recieved.
Connie
Naomi has been helping me train my puppy with the eventual goal of psychiatric assistance dog, and I am learning so much about dogs from her in the process.
I'm impressed that the training has been adapted to meet my puppy where she's at with each stage of her development, and Naomi's positive reinforcement techniques are helping my puppy to be calm and confident in public.
I appreciate that we meet out and about so I can learn how to handle my puppy in different real-life scenarios, and I am so so grateful for the detailed notes Naomi offers so I can stay present during the session and then read all the information back after.
I can't recommend Five Senses enough!
Cooper
Five Senses have been helping me to train my 1 year old labrador Cooper. Naomi is very knowledgeable and absolutely one of the kindest people you’ll meet. Very happy with my dog’s progress in becoming an assistance dog and very grateful I went with Five Senses Dog Training.

Before our first session, Naomi asked me to fill in a questionnaire to help her understand what we wanted to achieve, and what our puppy's personality was like. This filled me with such confidence knowing that the session would be tailored to us and our pup. During the session, Naomi was so attentive and our little 4 month old puppy loved her. Within minutes of following her guidance and techniques, we saw great progress and we still use her tips to date. She provided us with a detailed report afterwards and other materials which were so appreciated as we covered a lot and it made it easy for us to then remember everything we learnt. I strongly recommend Naomi and her sessions. We are so grateful to have found her!
