Episode 7
Out and about with Henry
Posted by Elizabeth Murphy
Welcome back to Henry’s Puppy Pen!
Henry has been building on his experience in busy public places. As a hearing dog, Henry will accompany his future deaf partner to wherever they want to go, so it is important that he feels happy, relaxed and confident when out and about.
Henry showed brilliant focus when visiting a local historical tourist attraction. He also looked very smart in his “I’m learning to be a hearing dog” jacket!
It is important that Henry feels comfortable in his jacket, as he will wear a similar one when out in public with his future deaf partner. The jacket will help to make members of the public aware of his partner’s hearing loss, which should encourage people to be more considerate in the way they communicate to them.
After exploring the grounds, it’s time for a café break, and the perfect opportunity for clever Henry to practise his settling.
