Five Senses Dog Training & Walks
TRAINING WALKS | PUPPY TRAINING | ASSISTANCE DOGS | PET SITTING
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 and Puppies. I can also help with other dog training and behavioural issues, including loose-lead walking, recall & reactivity. In addition to this, I offer Solo Dog Walking, Pet Sitting & Overnights.
Sessions are based in Knutsford.
I'm passionate about helping dog owners develop 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 my clients.
Maggie
Naomi is fantastic and we honestly couldn’t recommend her more highly. She regularly walks and pet sits our spaniel, Maggie, and it’s such a comfort knowing she’s in such good hands.
Naomi really understands Maggie and always knows exactly what she enjoys and needs. She takes her on brilliant walks, gives her lots of attention, and genuinely cares about her wellbeing. Maggie absolutely adores her and gets so excited whenever she sees her!
Naomi is also incredibly reliable, professional and trustworthy. We always feel completely at ease leaving both Maggie and our home in her care, knowing everything will be looked after perfectly.
It’s clear that Naomi genuinely loves what she does, and that shines through in the way she cares for Maggie. We feel very lucky to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful dog walker or pet sitter.
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!
Mikki
Naomi is absolutely fantastic. Her kindness and patience put us at ease. It’s clear how genuinely she connects with the dogs. Our Puppy adores her. He lights up the moment the doorbell rings because he knows Naomi is there just for him.
Naomi knows how to engage his mind, calm his worries and give him the stimulation he thrives on. The change in him is remarkable. His confidence has grown, his recall is impeccable and he responds beautifully to everything she teaches.
Naomi has a natural ability to make training feel fun, positive and effortless. Her intuition, confidence, and genuine love for what she does shines through.
For any dog owner looking for someone they can trust completely, Naomi is the person you want. She is reliable, professional and wholeheartedly dedicated to the dogs in her care. You feel safe handing your dog over to her, and even safer when you see the results.
Thank you Naomi for everything you’re doing. Your care and the kindness you pour into your work have made such a difference. We’re so grateful for the joy and comfort you’ve brought.
