Hearing dogs visit

On Thursday 1^st May Pre-Prep had the privilege of meeting the volunteers from Hearing Dogs for the Deaf. They brought along Faith the black Labrador and Dylan the Spaniel who are both in their puppy training phase. The children learned about how the volunteers train the dogs and the difference between altering their owner to a sound or an alarm. They also heard that the dogs can learn to wake up their owners in the morning and pull the duvet off children that don’t want to get out of bed! The volunteers also explained the phases of training and how Dylan and Faith had both got their first star. To end the session the children were all lucky enough to pet Faith and Dylan and ask their trainers some questions. It was a great session enjoyed by all the children and staff. Thank you very much to the three volunteers who gave up their time to come and talk to Pre-Prep.
