D'Elle Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 There's a lot on the internet about training a deaf dog, but I don't know which methods are best. I have been asked to do some basic training with a 6 year old dog who is somewhat deaf.....not sure how much....but can hear things like clapping hands. I have never trained a dog with limited hearing before so am seeking the best advice on websites that will teach me a bit, or tips if you have trained a hearing-impaired dog. I want to know a bit about what is involved before I say yes to doing any work with this dog. She's a fine dog, just needs leash manners, sit, stay, recall and so on. thanks!

JohnLloydJones Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 You probably know the Amazing Aussies rescue group. They handle dogs that have hearing and sight issues. I know they have some good advice on working with hearing impaired dogs (http://www.amazingaussies.org/Welcome/hand-signs-for-deaf-dogs/). Alas the site was down when I tried to access a moment ago. It should come back up soon, I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Elle Posted November 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 Thanks, John! I don't know why I didn't think of that....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denice Posted November 25, 2017 Report Share Posted November 25, 2017 I know folks that would flip porch lights on/off at night to call a dog inside. Could use flashlight and hand signals ect for many things. If she hears claps might also hear whistles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
