Nantwich dog trainer Rachel Rodgers has been named a winner in the Northern Enterprise Awards for her company Nose to Trail.
Rachel, 36, was named Best Dog Behaviour and Enrichment Services 2025 at the awards.
Nose to Trail is committed to ethical, evidence-based training and enrichment, supporting both dogs and owners through thoughtful, welfare-led approaches.
Rachel, founder of Nose to Trail, said: “Winning the award over the Christmas period makes the recognition particularly meaningful, reflecting a year of hard work, collaboration, and continued dedication to improving canine wellbeing across the region.
“As an accredited Canine School of Trailing Instructor its fantastic to see the upcoming dog sport of “man trailing” and the lesser known “pet trailing” that we specialise in being recognised for how truly enriching they are for dogs.
“Dogs are designed to sniff and giving them an outlet for this natural behaviour can be the solution for many behaviour problems.”
Awards coordinator Melissa Bramall said: “The past 12-24 months have been filled with ups and downs, opportunities and challenges, and the peaks and troughs that come with business no matter what industry you’re in, but our awardees continue to stand tall.
“Whether they’re taking their first steps or whether they’re a longstanding and seasoned enterprise, our winners are all making waves for those around them. It’s a pleasure to be part of your story of success!”
