Good Bye - ROCKO

After achieving his four star certificate Rocko left his socialisers Dianne and Lyndon to go in to training with Jo Otten at the Grange. On 30th May they took Rocko to Saunderton where they met Jo and told her all about him. In the evening his B&B socialisers would take him home for the weekend, before he started big school on the Monday. By all accounts he is doing well. Jo said he is learning the alert with two paws, but needed more practice. She says he is lovely and very obedient, but it sounds like he is also a bit cheeky too. (that’s Rocko!) We wish him well on the next stage of his journey to be a Hearing Dog. Dianne Hatfield

Goodbye - Cruise Here is the picture of Cruise before and after. Cruise was sponsor by ABP, who they had chosen SHHD for their charity of the year in 2012. Once Cruise comes in for training, his trainer will keep us informed of progress until he is partnered, probably in early 2015. SOUTH HANTS HEARING DOGS For Deaf People
