New puppy! He is deaf...any tips? - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Sophie seems a little curious. She sat in my lap while I was holding him for a little bit last night. She reminds me of Lady from Lady and the Tramp, after the baby came home.

One of my rescues (a collie/a few years back) was deaf and he was great with hand signals.
I also taught him to come to me when I stomped on the floor if he was not in sight. The porch light flashing on and off was his signal to come in from the back yard at night - I waved to him during the day and he would come if he was looking at me.

This member is deaf and she taught her puppy hand signals, so I thought you may want to read this thread.

When my senior dog went deaf...I joined a Yahoo group for people with deaf dogs...they have a lot of great advice and tricks to teach them....and they are a nice group... (which is always a plus)

Thanks again for all the tips! I can't wait till Sophie likes him. Peyton had his vet visit yesterday...Dr. Said he was a healthy pup.
