Rico is not quite ready for his first full training update yet, but we thought you'd like to know how he's doing!

Before the Coronavirus lockdown he started living with Volunteer Puppy Trainers Ian and Erica. They will look after and train him for his first year. They're already getting to know Rico well: "He likes to help empty the washing machine," Erica tells us. Ian calls Rico "an inquisitive ball of energy that does anything for a treat!"

Watch this space for more on Rico's progress and why we love sponsoring the hearing dog training scheme.
