Guide Dogs

Uno

It’s all go, go, go for Uno! This clever boy has started our 16-week training programme. And thanks to your support, he’s on track to qualify as a Guide Dog within the next six months. Exciting stuff!

At the moment, Uno lives with his Specialist Trainer at home. He’s busy doing training in all sorts of environments so he can confidently navigate different places, no matter how noisy they are. He practices going on public transport regularly, too. It’s all part of getting him ready for his new role with his forever human.

Fun fact: Isha, who’s just started Guide Dog training, is Uno’s little sister! Over the Christmas holidays, they caught up for a very special reunion, full of zoomies, playtime and lots of licks.

Keep up the great work, Uno!

Isha

Introducing Isha! With energy to burn and confidence for days, this wee pocket rocket has settled into training beautifully. We wouldn’t expect any less from Uno’s little sister.

Isha has been busy taking plenty of trips to the mall, learning how to settle in cafes and generally getting used to her new life with her Puppy Raiser. And she’s taken it all in her stride, without so much as a sniff.

These early stages of puppy training are so important because they build the foundations to become a great Guide Dog. With the great weather and longer summer evenings, Isha and her puppy raiser have been out and about a lot – helping her gain the confidence to change someone’s life.

Enjoy your summer adventures, Isha!

Hamish

Hamish arrived at a very busy home. He moved in with Ted the lamb, Milkshake the goat and Funny Bunny the rabbit. So, he’s getting socialised right from the start. Hamish absolutely loves his new animal friends and his new human family!

This chilled-out pup just loves to snooze. Hamish’s Puppy Raiser took him out with the family a lot over the Christmas break. And Hamish fell asleep like an old man wherever they went. So, he’s a breeze to take almost anywhere – except when he tries to take a nap in the middle of a busy supermarket aisle!

When he’s not snoozing, Hamish enjoys socialising. This summer, he visited a farm and met some cows. He also went on holiday to the beach, where he went on lots of big walks. And he loved every minute!

Good boy, Hamish!
