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 received from clients I have worked with.
Pepper
Naomi is amazing!! She has taken the time to get to know our nervous pup and she’s now more excited to see her than us every day! She is extremely professional & always offers help and advice with any training queries we have. Communication is great & we feel very comfortable leaving our dog in her capable hands. We would highly recommend Five Senses to anyone in need of dog walking or training! Pepper loves her walks & loves Naomi!!& loves Naomi!!
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.
BIKER GIRL DOG TRAINER
I am partnered with Olivia who is positive reinforcement trainer, specialising in reactivity. She can also help with other more complicated, ingrained behaviours; such as aggression, separation anxiety and resource guarding.
You'll often find me often working at her puppy classes at Bramhall Methodist Church on Saturdays. To find out more/book see here.
