Hearing Dogs for Deaf People

Adorable Oscar has some exciting news... He's reached a milestone after passing the second stage of his hearing dog training - the Puppy 2 Star ⭐ Next up Oscar will start exploring public places and get ready to take his first trip on public transport. Well done Team Oscar 🎉

Coffee, cake, and a very clever Kasper! During the second stage of his hearing dog training, Kasper has been working on his settle in different environments with his volunteer to build the skills he'll use with his future deaf partner. Keep up the good work, Kasper 🐾🐶

All aboard 🚂 Hearing dog in training Patsy was the paw-fect passenger on her recent train trip. In the third stage of her training, she's been building her confidence on different types of public transport she might use with her future deaf partner. Keep it up Team Patsy 🐾

The best shopping companion 🛍️ Whilst the top of his shopping list is treats, hearing dog Buddy always keeps his focus on his deaf partner Aaron, and isn't fazed by any of the distractions that can be found when out and about. Well done Buddy 🥰

Roll up, roll up, those cute clips are here! We think Amber is after a bigger place to paddle, Jerry is all wags as he practices his nose nudging, and it's a triple threat as Eton, Luna, and Pippin show off some synchronised hoop jumps. Happy Friday everyone 🐾🥰

Parker has been on his first visit to a garden centre, and was an absolute star ⭐ Garden centres are the perfect place for our younger dogs to visit in their early training, as they are quiet environments with lots of interesting new sights and smells. Amazing job, Parker 😊

Introducing the latest addition to the gang. Say hello to trainee hearing dog Rex (7 months old!!) @HearingDogs

@yorkshirejune @VolTeamHDogs @joncowap @HearingDogsYork Adorable even when he's a bit soggy 🐾

Despite the rain and thunder @HearingDogs Ambassador Pasha was a brave boy on his afternoon walk today .He hates fireworks and we both jumped at the first clap of thunder but after that he coped really well even though he got soaked @VolTeamHDogs @joncowap @HearingDogsYork
