Creating a calm and positive training space at home is the key to happy, confident dogs.

How you reward your dog can change everything.

Positive reinforcement isn't just about treats—it's about building trust and celebrating every good moment together. When your dog knows what makes you happy and gets praised or rewarded, they become more confident and eager to learn.

It's like giving your pup a high-five that they never forget, making training fun and strengthening your bond.

Ready to see your dog light up with joy and confidence? That's the magic of positive reinforcement in action.

Want a fun way to keep your dog's brain busy and tap into their natural sniffing talents? Try some creative at-home scent games!

Start simple by hiding treats or favourite toys in easy spots around your living room. Let your dog use their nose to find them and celebrate every win with lots of praise.

Once they get the hang of it, make it trickier—hide items under cushions, behind doors, or inside boxes. It's a fantastic way to engage their instincts, build confidence, and burn off energy without needing a big garden or special gear.

Your dog's walk can tell you more than just how much exercise they're getting.

Subtle signs like a slight hesitation, lip licking, or a sudden pause can mean your dog's feeling stressed or overwhelmed. Recognising these signals early helps you adjust the walk—maybe a quieter route, a slower pace, or a quick break—to keep your dog calm and happy.

At Ceri's Canine Companions, we believe every walk should be a positive experience tailored to your dog's needs. Have you noticed any little signs your dog gives when they need a breather? Share your stories!

Think your dog just needs a walk to stay happy? Think again.

Mental exercise is just as important for your pup's wellbeing as physical activity. It keeps their brain sharp, reduces boredom, and helps prevent those pesky behaviour problems.

Try simple games like hiding treats around the house, puzzle toys, or a quick training session teaching a new trick. These little challenges keep their minds buzzing and build confidence too.

The Begining

Where to start.

So my name is Ceri as you all may have guessed. I have worked with animals since I was 16 when I went on A work placement from collage to a dog trainer, I stayed on as a weekend girl once my placement finished. Since then I have worked at boarding kennels and then became a Veterinary Nurse. I qualified as a Vet Nurse in 2008 after spending 1 year working as an animal care assistant to see if it was the right place for me to be and then another 2 years training to become a Vet Nurse. I still love my job as a nurse but have felt that it was time for a change for a couple of years with that feeling growing stronger every day. I have been on furlough since the middle of April and my thoughts have gone to the business quite frequently during this time, so i decided now was as good a time as any to take the leap. I will still continue with my nursing and especially in the early days of starting a business from scratch. this does mean that some of my services may only be on a part time basis.

I’m fully insured and have a DBS check application in this can take up to 2 weeks to come back.

I’m looking to start taking appointment for walking from the 18th of June, I am really looking forward to meeting some new faces furry and human. I will be sticking to the current guidelines all will be carrying out strict social distancing. Things may change depending on when I am required to go back to work as a Vet Nurse but I will definitely keep you all updated as things move forward.
