Draig has been absolutely fantastic in his intermediate classes. He has grown so much in confidence and will now even play in the hall with other dogs around. His handler has put a lot of work in with him and it has paid off. They worked the room methodically and found all the hides.
A massive congratulations to Team Draig on passing Sleuthing Hounds Intermediate Classes.

She did an amazing job and works so well.

The theme of today's walks Strike a Pose. Some are far better at this task than others 🤣. But little Elise is definitely starting to get the idea that good things happen when the crazy lady gets the phone out.

I do apologise for putting a post out and then leaving everyone hanging. The reason for this is that Betty, Pebbles and I have been away for the last week of The College Of Scent Dogs Ltd Scent Detection Dog Handler and Instructor course.
Passing my exam and spending time working with pebbles to help build her confidence on equipment and in different environments.
We had an absolute ball and I have come away feeling re-energised and with lots of ideas to move forward.
I will be in touch with everyone who was interested in the Hoop and Sleuth over the next couple of days 😁

Our intermediate Sleuthing Hounds and handlers were learning about route searches at the weekend. We had to have a change of plans due to unforeseen circumstances but we got to practice on a small corridor area. Which proved tricky for the handlers ensuring to give their dogs space when working. #scentworkisteamwork #petscentdetection #dogsworkinghard #scentworkisthebest #MentalStimulation #dogslovetosniff #SleuthingHoundsIntermediateClasses #scentdetectiondog #sleuthinghoundsscentwork #hardworkanddetermination #positivereinforcementtrainer #positivereinforcementtraining #trainingwithkindness #scentworkforeverydog #ceriscaninecompainons #Trainingclasses

Fabulous walks today. Think we all had a ball #ceriscaninecompanionsdogwalking #dogslovetosniff #muddydogsarehappydogs #dogwalkingswansea #dogwalkingservices #DogWalking #dogwalker #muddydogs #HappyPups

Our Sleuthing Hounds Beginners absolutely nailed their session on Wednesday evening. This week we started building on the 4 D's of scent detection. By building duration to our indications and also adding duration to our searches. #thedogsnoseknows #scentworkisteamwork #scentworkforeverydog #dogslovetosniff #petscentdetection #scentdetectionforpetdogs #scentdetectiondoginstructor #scentdog #MentalStimulation #DogScentWork #positivedogtrainer #scentworkisthebest #dogsworkinghard #scentdetectiondoghandler #Sleuthinghoundsscentwork #sleuthinghoundsbeginners #brainworkoutfordogs

We had quite a soggy day yesterday on our walks, not that the dogs seemed to care. #muddydogs #dogwalkingservices #ceriscaninecompanionsdogwalking #dogwalkingswansea #DogWalking #HappyPups #muddydogsarehappydogs #muddypuddles #dogwalker

This morning we had a fantastic start to Sleuthing Hounds Intermediate classes today. During the Intermediate course we look at working together with our dogs to ensure that we efficiently cover areas in a search. As some of the dogs are new to Gun Oil scent we started out with a bit of free work. Letting the dogs search the equipment they already know and finding a jackpot of treats at the source of the new odour. With the ones who are already familiar with the scent we let them work the area themselves and then rewarded for an indication. #thedogsnoseknows #scentdetectiondog #ceriscaninecompainons #MentalStimulation #dogsworkinghard #scentdetectiondoghandler #positivedogtrainer #scentworkisthebest #Sleuthinghoundsscentwork #scentdetectionforpetdogs #petscentdetection #DogScentWork #dogslovetosniff #scentworkisteamwork #scentdetectiondoginstructor #scentdog #amazingnoses #scentworkforeverydog #SleuthingHoundsIntermediateClasses

Throwback to Saturday when we had our first Sleuthing Hounds Scent Club of the New Year. It was a cold one but that didn't stop the dogs from absolutely smashing it. #sleuthinghoundsscentwork #scentworkforeverydog #scentworkisthebest #scentdetectionforpetdogs #petscentdetection #scentdog #ceriscaninecompainons #dogslovetosniff #thedogsnoseknows #scentdetectiondoginstructor #scentdetectiondog #dogsworkinghard #MentalStimulation #scentworkisteamwork #DogScentWork #positivedogtrainer #scentdetectiondoghandler #amazingnoses #Sleuthinghoundsscentwork

Wednesday saw the start of the first Sleuthing Hounds Beginners class of the new year. The first session in the beginners class is about ensuring the dogs are comfortable in a new environment and starting to build the scent Identification in a positive way. #petscentdetection #scentdetectionforpetdogs #positivedogtrainer #MentalStimulation #sleuthinghoundsscentwork #scentdetectiondog #scentdetectiondoghandler #scentworkisthebest #scentworkisteamwork #scentdog #amazingnoses #ceriscaninecompainons #DogScentWork #thedogsnoseknows #dogslovetosniff #scentdetectiondoginstructor #scentworkforeverydog #dogsworkinghard #sleuthinghoundsbeginners

During club yesterday Willow got to come out and have a go at the area search and she nailed it. I love this little dog so much. She tries so hard and even though she is at a slight disadvantage with her limb issues she never lets it stop her. #ceriscaninecompainons #dogslovetosniff #DogScentWork #scentdetectionforpetdogs #scentworkisthebest #scentdetectiondog #dogsworkinghard #sleuthinghoundsscentwork #petscentdetection #MentalStimulation #thedogsnoseknows #scentworkforeverydog #amazingnoses #scentworkisteamwork #scentdetectiondoghandler #scentdetectiondoginstructor #scentdog #positivedogtrainer

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.
