Training a deaf, blind dog

I do not have, but I know that one of the Sheltie rescues had a deaf dog they placed a couple of years ago. There may be some info on the internet, especially on Dalmatian rescue sites, as that breed is prone to congenital deafness. Good luck to your friend!

Is the dog geriatric as well? The issues could be more related to age then deafness. Most people recommend using a vibrating collar (made for deaf dogs) to help train a deaf dog and sign language. At a distance the dogs respond well to the vibrating collar and signs work for giving commands when the dog is looking at you. Contact Brad Phifer at Bark Tutor for more information--i know he's worked with a few deaf dogs at the humane society, but he might be able to refer them to someone who specializes in this.

He is only a coupl of years old, did not know there were collars that vibrated. Ill pass this on. THanks

Another way to give signals is with touch. A tap on the shoulder to sit for example.
