Episode 2:

Dilly's journey begins!

Posted by Elizabeth Murphy

Welcome to Dilly's Puppy Pen! Your gorgeous sponsor pup is settling in brilliantly with her lovely Volunteer Dog Trainers, Neil and Kate. They will give Dilly lots of love and support her through her training as she learns the skills she’ll need to become a life-changing hearing dog.

Dilly made herself at home very quickly and she soon discovered that Neil’s legs were the perfect spot for a puppy snooze!

It is fantastic that Dilly has already built up a connection of trust with her Volunteer Dog Trainers. This strong bond will help Dilly succeed throughout her training journey.

Dilly has been having lots of fun in her new home. One of her favourite activities is a game of tug in the garden!

Although it sounds too good to be true, playing is an important part of Dilly’s training! Interactive games teach her important social skills, such as good manners, how to wait her turn and sharing her toys.

And it’s not only humans Dilly has been learning to play nicely with. Fellow hearing dog in training, Windsor, popped over for a play date.

As Dilly moves through her training, she will be gently introduced to other pets that she may encounter with her future deaf partner. So, it is important that she learns from an early age to feel relaxed and comfortable in their presence.

Dilly has a very exciting future ahead of her and we can’t wait to bring you along on her training journey!

Until next time, thank you so much for sponsoring Dilly.
