After six weeks of residential training, it’s time for us to wish a fond farewell to Earl, the striking greyhound who travelled all the way from Ireland to join us. An ex-racer with a lovely personality, Earl arrived with a few challenges – especially when it came to impulse control and a strong prey drive. Chasing small animals was a bit too tempting for him, and his recall needed some serious work. He also had a habit of jumping up when excited and barking at passers-by. Over the past few weeks, we’ve focused on helping Earl adjust to life away from the racecourse. He’s been learning how to walk nicely on the lead, respond more reliably to his handler, and settle calmly in a range of different situations. With patience and consistency, Earl has made brilliant progress and is much more confident in himself and his surroundings. He has made some good strides towards being calmer around animals, that said, due to his past training and experiences on the track, Earl will continue to wear a muzzle when out and about around other animals. This is a precaution we believe is important for everyone’s safety and comfort. It doesn’t take away from the lovely, gentle boy he is – it simply gives him and those around him the security they need while he continues to learn. To help with this we have been working on some muzzle training too so he is comfortable when wearing one. Earl is a sweet-natured boy with a big heart, and we’ve loved watching him grow during his time here. He heads home with new skills and a great foundation for the future – we’re so proud of how far he’s come and excited for what lies ahead for him. Well done Earl 💚

🎥 Watch Murphy’s Incredible Transformation! 🐾✨ After five weeks of residential training, Murphy the Border Terrier is heading home—and what a journey he’s been on! When Murphy first arrived, everyday life felt overwhelming. He’d freeze at the sight of other dogs, lunge at smells, and found it hard to switch off from distractions. But now? He’s confidently walking past dogs, staying engaged with his owners, and making better choices thanks to improved impulse control and reduced stress. 💪 No more constant jumping up or hyper-alert reactions—Murphy is calmer, more focused, and learning to navigate the world with confidence. Even city life in London is feeling more manageable for him now! 🌟 And the support doesn’t stop here! After every stay, we provide full guidance to ensure the training fully transfers back home, this includes handover lessons and 4 additional lessons if owners need more help.

Meet Merlin, the life-saving medical detection dog! Merlin officially passed his Public Access Test with us last year and is now a fully qualified assistance dog — and a real superhero in disguise. He’s not just a best friend to his owner, but a true lifeline. Here’s what makes Merlin amazing: He alerts when blood sugar is going low He alerts when it’s going high He even detects when it’s starting to drop after being high — before it’s dangerously low! He can fetch essential items like the blood testing kit, glucose, or a phone when help is needed He reminds his person to take insulin or tablets if they forget And perhaps most importantly, he supports anxiety, especially around hospital visits and medical procedures Merlin can alert up to 30 minutes before a hypo, often 10 minutes ahead of the medical sensor on his owner’s arm. That head start makes all the difference. He’s more than a dog — he’s a medical partner, a calm presence, and a daily hero. We’re so proud to be a part of Merlin’s journey. Well done, Merlin! Want to train your own life-saving partner? Our Assistance Dog Programme supports owner-trained assistance dogs from puppy to fully qualified. With 450+ video tutorials, 7-day trainer support, and the chance to take our Public Access Test when ready, we’ll guide you every step of the way.

Meet Huxley – a true superstar in our Assistance Dog Programme! Huxley is a dual-purpose assistance dog, trained to support his owner who has cerebral palsy and dystonia. Through a combination of online training, one-to-one sessions, workshops, and residential stays, Huxley is thriving and proving just how life-changing a well-trained assistance dog can be. He plays a vital role in his owner’s daily life, helping with a range of essential tasks – from alerting to non-epileptic seizures and high heart rate/anxiety episodes, to bringing dropped items, pressing lift and door buttons, closing doors, and even helping remove items of clothing. He also provides deep pressure therapy when it’s needed most. Huxley’s calm, clever, and loving presence has transformed his owner’s independence and quality of life – and we couldn’t be prouder of their partnership. www.adolescentdogs.com/assistancedogsuk #AssistanceDogInTraining #DualPurposeDog #LifeChangingDogs #OwnerTrainedAssistanceDog #DisabilitySupport #CerebralPalsyAwareness #DystoniaWarrior #TeamHuxley #medicalalertdog #assistancedog
