What a year 2025 has been! 🐾

We can’t thank anyone and everyone who has supported us and our work in any way, shape, or form! 💚

We are very excited to start revealing some of our major plans for 2026 where of course we will be celebrating our 50-year anniversary.

Be sure to keep an eye out for the end of this video! 👀

With New Years Eve tomorrow, we are very excited to bring in 2026, but we are also very aware that it can be a scary time for our 4-legged friends.

We have some tips on how best to protect your dog when fireworks go off available on our website here: https://www.guidedogs.ie/news-resources/7-tips-to-protect-your-dog-from-fireworks

Stay safe!

Now vs Then!

Take a look at Dog in Training Grayson who is pictured first as he enters advanced training recently, versus when he was pictured last year as a puppy!

A huge thank you to Puppy Raiser Mehdi Entezary for providing Grayson with the help, training. and experiences that he needed before being able to enter advanced training.

Seeing Grayson move on to “big school” to become such an important part of someone's life was such a rewarding moment for Mehdi, knowing they have been part of that journey!

You too can help by becoming a Puppy Raiser and keeping a puppy in your home, helping them with vital basic training.

Sometimes a dog needs to step away from our formal training programmes, and when they do, their story often takes a wonderful new turn. Many go on to become incredible “career change” dogs—beloved pets, trusted companions, or even one of our Ambassador Dogs.

Wren is one of those special successes! He’s taken on the role of “big brother” to Quaid, a puppy in training, offering gentle guidance, sharing helpful training tips, and providing plenty of cosy cuddles along the way.

Dogs really do learn from each other. Quaid might already be shooting passed his Big Bro in height at just six months old, but he’ll always look up to Wren as his mentor and best buddy!
