Our dog training standards
Learn more about how we train our hearing dogs to the highest international standards. Here, we explain our Puppy Star awards and how our life-changing dogs work towards them.
Puppy One Star
Learning how to become a hearing dog starts at an early age. In fact, it officially starts when our puppies are only weeks old!
Puppy Two Star
Once a hearing dog puppy has completed their Puppy One Star, they move on to the next stage of their training.
Puppy Three Star
The Puppy Three Star is the stage where we focus on building on what the puppy has already learned in the Puppy Two Star.
Puppy Four Star
In the final stage of a hearing dog’s training, our expert instructors, and Volunteer Dog Trainers work together to help fine-tune a dog’s training and ensure they are ready for their final assessment.
