A wild day out for this puppy class 🦁 In the third stage of hearing dog training, Taylor, Maggie, and Clover visited with their volunteers to take in new and unusual surroundings. The girls did brilliantly & weren't fazed by anything at the park! Well done teams 🐾🥰

Puppy class is heading outside 🐶 Star, Oakley, and Venus are working on their basic cues outdoors in a new environment with a few new distractions! This is great practise for when our pups start visiting public places and helps them build their focus. Well done everyone! 🎉

Jinx is checking out the shops 🐾 Our clever Labrador did a super job keeping his focus on his volunteer trainer He even spent some time working on his 'Sit' and 'Wait' in front of all the shops as everyone passed by with their shopping 🛍️

After lots of playing and exploring, there's nothing better than a long nap for our clever Trixie 💤 Trixie is in the early stages of her hearing dog training and is doing a brilliant job learning her basic cues like 'Sit' and 'Wait'. Keep it up Team Trixie 🥰

A very proud Pickles 🐾🐶 After passing his final assessment, Pickles is going to be a life-changing hearing dog! From puppy class to soundwork, Pickles has been a joy to train & we just know that he's going to make the world of difference to his future deaf partner 🎉

The most tempting aisle, but hearing dog in training Marco, didn't let that distract him 🐕‍🦺 Hearing dogs accompany their deaf partner to many public places so it's vital that Marco understands all the tasty food and treats on display aren't for him. Well done Team Marco 🎉

It is a big day for Lawson, as he is heading off to his furever family💛🥰 He said goodbyes to all the staff at our centre and hopped in the car to start a new journey of his life! 🐾 #BigYellowBagDay #AdoptDontShop #ADogIsForLife @DogsTrust

It's Friday which can only mean one thing, cute clips is here 🐶 Kayla, Cooper and Buddy are enjoying the fresh air, Ozzy and Brie are looking for treats, and Lara and Valour just want more cuddles. It seems everyone had the same idea. Enjoy your weekends 🐾🥰

Pirlo is all smiles as he packed his Yellow Bag and is ready to start a new chapter in life 😍🐾 Good luck, Pirlo 💛 #BigYellowBagDay #AdoptDontShop #ADogIsForLife @DogsTust

Ozzy has passed the second stage of hearing dog training - the Puppy 2 Star ⭐ As he heads into the next stage of training, Ozzy has been awarded his own training jacket to wear as he explores public places and experiences travelling on public transport. Well done Team Ozzy 🥰

A round of applause for adorable Arthur 👏 Arthur recently passed the first stage of his hearing dog training - the Puppy 1 Star ⭐ He's done an amazing job learning his 'Sit' & 'Down' and will work on his recall and impulse control in the next stage. Well done Team Arthur 🎉

Great focus from Oakley 🐶 In the second stage of his training, Oakley had a very exciting puppy class testing out a training jacket. Working on his 'Down' and 'Wait' in class helps to build his confidence for when he's out in public in the next stage of his training 🐕‍🦺

Fabulous Flapjack has passed his final assessment to become a sound support dog 🐶 Our sound support dogs alert their deaf partner to important & life-saving sounds within the home, but don't accompany them to public places like hearing dogs do. Congratulations Team Flapjack 🥰

Amber is doing such a great job in her early hearing dog training and she is already practising how to settle nicely 😊 Settling is a key skill for all our dogs as we want them to feel relaxed and comfortable in any environments they visit with their deaf partners.

A big day out for amazing Astrid! A garden centre is the perfect introduction to public spaces for Astrid as she works on her 'Sit' & 'Wait' as part of her hearing dog training. Astrid showed super focus on her trainer & did a great job in the café. Well done Team Astrid 🐾🥰

A bank holiday means an extra chance to have a lie-in, and housemates Dotty (left) and Koko are making the most of it 🐶❤️ Koko is in the final stage of her hearing dog training and she has already been passing on some tips to Dotty, who couldn't ask for a better role model.

Excellent news for Evie 🎉 Evie's passed her assessment & is off to change someone's life as one of our amazing companion dogs! A companion dogs provides emotional support, friendship, and in many cases, reduces isolation and loneliness. Well done Team Evie, we're so proud 🥰
