ABOUT ME
Hello there! My name is Olivia and I’m a certified and insured dog trainer (CPDT) with a level three qualification in Canine Behaviour and Psychology, currently studying my Level 5 with the IMDTB. I've been working with dogs since I was 18, and in 2020 decided to take the plunge and start my own business.
Working with dogs is genuinely a dream come true for me; I honestly feel so blessed when I can help owners and their furry companions live confident, happy lives together.
I specialise in puppies and reactivity. I’m a fountain of advice and information to help you and your little one get started off on the right paw. (Sorry). It’s so important to make sure you have the right knowledge and systems in place to ensure you and your dog grow together in the best possible way. Check out the videos of our classes!
With regards to reactivity this is where I LOVE my job. Getting a dog that used to be terrified of other dogs to be able to walk past and still be relaxed is the most amazing feeling! Check out my reviews or watch the reactivity before-and-afters on my videos page to see some incredible results after just a few sessions.
I can also help with other more complicated, ingrained behaviours; such as separation anxiety, aggression, resource guarding, and reactivity to outside stimulus: such as other dogs, children, vehicles etc. While daunting, trust me there are solutions to help your dog or puppy with any and all of these!
Finally, I feel it’s important to say I am a POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT, FORCE FREE dog trainer. I don’t do “corrections” or ask you to behave like the “alpha dog.” It’s all about creating and sustaining a relationship with your pet based on mutual respect and affection.
Every dog is different; but the more your dog loves, respects, and trusts you – the better results you can achieve together.
MY TEAM
I have an amazing team who help me alongside my business. Jess is a Certified Pet Dog Trainer, Naomi is studying to be a Canine Behaviourist, Annie and Isobel are my fabulous dog walkers and house sitters, Jace is an apprentice dog trainer, and Holly is an incredible pet photographer who also takes all my branding shots.

Hi there everyone, my name is Jessica and I run Ernie & Friends Dog Training and Behaviour. I'm a student canine behaviourist and I specialise in confidence building, impulse control and canine body language.
I have a degree in Zoology and diplomas in canine behaviour training and pet psychology. My passion is dog and human psychology, and my favourite part of the job is tailoring my training to the individual client's lifestyle.
I believe patience, kindness and consistency are the most important things in dog training. My training style is relaxed, and I pride myself on being non-judgemental and ensuring a fun and friendly atmosphere.
I offer training walk packages where I can come and train your dog when you don't have the time. I will help build the foundations you need in the places they need building such as your home, your local walk spaces and even your local pubs and cafés!
I will help you build a relationship with your dog that's based upon calm and focus, through activities that are simple and fun for both you and your dog.

Hi, I’m Naomi! I’m a dog trainer and canine behaviourist student in Manchester. I specialise in training PTSD and Autism Assistance Dogs, as well as dogs experiencing Separation Anxiety.
I was inspired to set up Five Senses Dog Training after I purchased a Boxer puppy and task trained her to be my assistance dog. She has given me my independence back and I want to help others achieve the same.
I'm passionate about helping people build a strong and healthy 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 all positive, force-free methods,
I can help your dog develop a love for learning, overcome a range of problems and advance their obedience skills.

I am her assistant at Puppy Classes on Saturdays and have since progressed to running classes on my own if one of the puppy's is struggling being in the main room with the other pups.
Working with dogs is a dream come true, and earlier this year I got my very first puppy, a German Shepherd called Wanda, who I am now training to be a Stooge Dog.
