I have never had a deaf pet but I believe you can find good from what seems to be a disability. Your pup will be more attentive to you as it will have to watch you for instructions so you will probably have a lot stronger bond. It will also have less distractions while you train it. And finally you will get a lot more satisfaction from the training and also knowing that some people would not have kept the dog so you have give it not only a good hope but a life.
Thanks for you post. Yes, I did see the news re court case re electric collar. No, I would not consider using one, and those that do, should wear it themselves!!
We have now got Barry Eatons book 'Hear Hear' and are attempting to teach not only Tess, but of course ourselves some simple hand signals.
Again thanks for your reply - regards Val
I wonder if you could adapt one by taking the shocker out and fitting a buzzer to attract attention in a deaf dog. What do you dog owners think?
I would not line the pockets of the awful people who continue to make shock collars in the face of all the evidence that they cause way more harm than good.
What about a pager? They can be programmed to vibrate.
We had a deaf white boxer - he was deaf from birth and was a rescue dog and one of the best dogs we ever had. He watched us all the time and seemed to know in advance what was going to happen. I still miss him after 6 years. Anniebird - what is it about Southport and rabbits ?- I also had a rescue rabbit and he sounds just like the one you have - he too is long gone - wonder if he has been rabbitincarnated!! - Marie
