Meet Mono, the latest puppy that Audiology South are sponsoring at Hearing Dogs NZ. Mono is an English Cocker Spaniel who was donated to Hearing Dogs NZ by her breeder. She's a confident wee pup who's settling into life at the Training Centre!
Who are Hearing Dogs NZ?
Hearing Dogs NZ assess, select, train and place Hearing Dogs with deaf and severely hearing-impaired New Zealanders. They're based in New Plymouth with a for-purpose training facility (including a house simulation!) where trainees learn through positive reinforcement, play, rewards and fun activities.
What do Hearing Dogs do?
Hearing Dogs gently tap their companions with their paw to let them know they've heard something and then lead them there. They'll listen for alarm clocks, the doorbell, telephone ringing or text messaging, baby monitors and any specific sounds that are important to their companion.
Audiology South are happy to support the good work that Hearing Dogs NZ do (and the updates on the cute puppies doing good things doesn't hurt either!).
