About The Grange
Based just outside Saunderton, nestled in the pretty Chiltern Hills, you’ll find our Southern Training Centre, affectionately called ‘The Grange’. You might even have seen our signs peeking above the hedges as you drive between Princes Risborough and Wycombe.
It’s where we train amazing hearing dogs who change deaf people’s lives, as well as run all our other services for people with all levels of hearing loss.
About the tour
Our pre-booked tours, for 20 people at a time, will show you how, where and why we train cute little puppies that become incredible hearing dogs.
You’ll also have a tour of the site, see a demo of what our dogs do (it’s impressive, every time), meet some hearing dogs in training, and find out from our deaf partners how their lives have been changed.
Some points you might need to bear in mind:
- Much as we love dogs, unfortunately we cannot allow pet dogs on the tour. This is for the health and safety of our own furry friends.
- Both adult and children tickets must be booked online.
- Children (under 16) must be always accompanied by an adult/guardian during the tour.
- Although our site is not large, please be advised that the tour does involve walking around the site, some steps and standing for periods of time.
- We have Blue Badge parking facilities. Please note that certain parts of the site may be uneven. If you would like to contact us to discuss wheelchair access or any other type of access prior to booking a ticket, please contact us on events@hearingdogs.org.uk.
- The tour's itinerary may be adjusted based on weather conditions.
