6 videos to start the year in style

Olive, Opal, Oakley, Otto, Obi, Orca, and Oscar are a bouncy bunch ready to take on the early stages of their training.

We can't wait to watch them all grow up and become amazing little life-changers.

It's snuggles galore with Nala, Jerry, and Ozzy, Halley has discovered someone in the mirror, and Terry and Tolkien are playing tug-of-war.

Plus, sponsor puppy Bobby is enjoying a rather sleepy pamper session. 

A group of our clever dogs in training had an unforgettable encounter, coming face-to-face with a full-size elephant wearing body armour on a visit to the Royal Armouries in Leeds.

The unique outing was designed to help them get used to unusual sights and sounds – key skills they will need when supporting their deaf partners in everyday life.

The highlight of the day was a close inspection of the museum’s resident Mughal era elephant, dressed in full body armour, which the dogs all took in their stride.

It was a morning of racing around, playing chase, and having lots of cuddles for the R siblings when they popped in for a visit.

These eight-week-old pups are ready to head off and start their next big adventure, training to become life-changing hearing dogs.

Good luck puppies. 

Our little Labrador had lots of fun exploring all the toys, snuffling for treats, and playing with his volunteers and trainer.

The first stage of training is all about building the bond between puppy and volunteer, encouraging curiosity, and learning those important basic cues like 'Sit' and 'Down'. 

Olive has discovered the joy of a rag toy, Marnie is following her nose in puppy class, and Cooper and Kasper are racing to the cuddles.
