Vermont Dog Trainer Show

Welcome to How to Train a Deaf Dog, where I share tips and insights to help you better connect with and train your deaf dog. In this episode, I explore the unique approach needed to understand and communicate effectively with a dog that relies on senses other than hearing. How they are different: Training a deaf dog requires adapting to their unique needs. I discuss what sets them apart and how to approach training with patience and creativity. Think nose first: A deaf dog’s sense of smell becomes their primary way of understanding the world. I explain how to use their nose-driven instincts to your advantage in training. How your touch helps: Physical touch becomes an essential communication tool. Learn how to use gentle, consistent touch to create trust and convey cues effectively. Listener Question: "How many times a day should I train my dog?" I answer this question with actionable advice to structure training sessions that are both productive and enjoyable for your dog.
