The adorable Ember stopped to show off her perfect sit, and by looking at her muddy little nose, we think she may have been doing some exploring 😊

Ember is in the second stage of hearing dog training and one area our clever cocker spaniel is practising is her recall 🐾

Ada is growing up so quickly, and she is celebrating passing the second stage of hearing dog training – the Puppy 2 Star! 😃🐾

Ada has been gently introduced to public places like garden centres and quiet shops, and she will now build on this by training in busier environments.

Brilliant work from the equally brilliant Gerry from ADUK member Hearing Dogs for Deaf People on his day trip to London! We hope Gerry and his lovely bow tie got to visit London's most pawsome places - Regent's Bark, Woofaloo... #AssistanceDogs #LifeChanging

Last month we held a LinkUp #supportgroup at our Beatrice Wright Centre (BWC) in #Yorkshire , & it was a fantastic weekend!

A huge thank you to the whole team involved!

Next stop? London!

Hearing dog Gerry and his deaf partner, Alison, took a trip into London where Gerry got to try out the local public transport.

He did a brilliant job of keeping his focus on Alison and settling in for the longer train journeys 🐾🚆

Kirrie is such a superstar! We are so proud of her ❤️

The fabulous Forrest visited the garden centre 🪴

She did a super job practising her cues, like 'down' and 'wait' as well as keeping her focus on her volunteer trainer.

Garden centres are the perfect introdcution to public places for our pups during their training 🐕‍🦺🥰

Rounding off the day in the best possible way - with a little bit of puppy Saxon 🥰

Saxon has just started his early hearing dog training, and our clever Labrador is already doing a fab job learning his basic cues like this lovely sit and wait 🐾

Clever Coda has taken a giant step towards changing a deaf person’s life after passing the fourth stage of her hearing dog training 🥳🐕‍🦺

This means that Coda is now busy preparing for her final assessment, and we know she is going to do brilliantly!

You've got this, Coda ❤️

Orin has been out and about exploring!

He took a trip to his local town to start building his confidence in busier public spaces.

There can be lots of distractions in town, with new smells, public transport and busy shoppers, but Orin did a brilliant job keeping his focus 🐾🥰

Smiles all around from a very happy Buddy this #TongueOutTuesday 👅🐶

Big smiles from a very clever boy... 😃

We are so proud to let you know that handsome Harvey has passed his assessment to be a life-changing hearing dog!

Harvey has had an amazing team behind him every step of the way and a huge congratulations & thank you must go to them ❤

Zebedee had his first visit to the garden centre, and we went along to see what he got up to 🐾🪴

Garden centres are a great place for our pups to start practising their basic cues in public places, and you'll see Zeb working on his 'sit', 'down' and 'wait' 🐕‍🦺

Well done Zeb!

Enzo has been off to visit the garden centre 🪴

It's the perfect introduction to public spaces for pups like Enzo in the second stage of their puppy training - the Puppy 2 Star ⭐⭐

Enzo did a great job practising his 'down' and keeping his focus on his volunteer trainer 🐾

Hearing dog mum Della knows tummy rubs are the best way to start the week 🐾🥰
