Training with heart

The Hearing Dog Training was founded by a dedicated team of specialist trainers with years of experience in canine behaviour, sound-alert work, and assistance-dog development. Our trainers come from a range of professional backgrounds, including accredited behaviourists, obedience specialists, and assistance-dog practitioners, all sharing a commitment to high welfare standards and ethical, positive-reinforcement methods. We pride ourselves on combining compassion with technical expertise, tailoring every training programme to each dog’s unique temperament and ability. Our approach is calm, structured, and evidence-based, ensuring every dog is prepared with the confidence and reliability needed to support their handler in daily life. At The Hearing Dog Training, we believe that exceptional training starts with exceptional trainers—and our team is dedicated to helping every dog reach its fullest potential as a trusted, skilled hearing-alert companion.

How we help

At The Hearing Dog Training, we specialise in transforming ordinary dogs into reliable, confident partners who provide essential hearing support for people with hearing loss. Our training focuses on developing clear, consistent alert behaviours to important sounds such as door knocks, alarms, timers, emergency signals, and sudden environmental noises. We combine evidence-based dog-training methods with an understanding of the daily challenges faced by those with reduced hearing. Every dog we train is supported through structured socialisation, obedience, task-specific alert work, and behaviour stability to ensure they can perform reliably both at home and in public. Our goal is to give individuals greater independence, safety, and peace of mind while strengthening the bond between dog and owner through compassionate, personalised support.

Our Mission

Our mission is fulfilled through a compassionate, evidence-based approach that places both the dog and handler at the centre of everything we do. We combine expert training methodology with a deep understanding of hearing-related challenges to ensure every dog is capable of delivering reliable sound-awareness support. Our trainers work closely with each partnership, tailoring every stage of the programme to build confidence, strengthen communication, and ensure long-term success. By maintaining high welfare standards, continuous professional development, and rigorous training assessments, we create partnerships that not only enhance safety and independence, but also enrich emotional wellbeing. Every dog we train brings us one step closer to a more accessible and inclusive world for people with hearing loss.
