Guide Dogs Northern Ireland

We are open! 🐾

Not that there was much of a paws for our training dogs Willa and Rocket who enjoyed some off-lead exercise on Friday! 🦮

Academy GDMS’s Julie and Chloe also marked their first 6-month’s in post! Congrats to both of you! 👏

Re-introducing... Willa 🐾

Willa is a 22-month-old yellow Labrador who you may remember, as she was puppy-raised by the Lockharts and now joins us for Early Training 🐾

This is extra special as Willa will be the first dog trained by Chloe Collins-Farrell, in her journey to become a Guide Dog Mobility Specialist as part of the Academy programme 🦮

Please wish both Willa and Chloe all the best of luck in the comments below! 👇
