I have my first start to finish deaf dog client starting in 2 weeks. This is great! I am wondering though, how do you go about marking and punishing unwanted behaviours? What works be your "no" marker? This particular client is an 18month old rescue, with main complaints of jumping/nipping/leash pulling etc. Do you start from scratch, cover all fundamentals and establish a clear communication system prior to correcting/punishing the unwanted behaviours? Or just like training, you can immediately address those things right off the bat like any other dog? Hopefully, that doesn't sound super ignorant...genuine question🙏
I don’t concern myself as much with markers with deaf dogs. I make sure my timing of the reward or punishment is close enough that the dog can figure it out. It works fine.
This is great as I have just adopted a deaf dog. I would like to see some videos on dogs that aren't as already well trained as this guy here and starting more from scratch.
I just moved into a new home and my neighbor has a giant 'dogo'/boxer mix that is deaf. .. And according to her, he had a rough history, and they had bad prevoius neighbors in my house that didn't really like him😞. I've been here for two weeks and he already waits by the fence when I'm at work and I'm one of the first people that he's allowed in his backard, belly rubs, begging for attention, and even giving me a little guff if I was ignoring him 😊. He had a violent episode in his past, years ago, and my neighbor rescued him from being put down. She says that since I've started bonding with him, he's like a different dog. I'm really excited to hopefully help him come out of his shell and be the giant teddy bear that I saw the first day I moved in, and didn't even know he was deaf and/or possibly violent, I just saw a big squishy white face😋. Thank you for the advice, I kinda had a feeling the training would be something exactly like what you've demonstrated here. P.S. the dog in this video did such a great job👍
Thank you again for the awesome video. My partner and I just recently adopted a deaf puppy. We've been training her with an e-collar and similar hand gestures.
Keep in mind attention is not something you teach. It comes from the dog wanting whatever it is that you have to give them. If the dog is not food motivated start by teaching leash pressure commands. That requires no attention to teach. You can find videos that we have on doing so.
Thanks for the video. How do you work with a deaf dog that isn't good about looking at you, especially when distracted, staring at the door when getting ready to go outside, etc?
sure have. The looking at you comes as you start the training process and once you have a way of giving consequences for NOT looking at you. That is a common misconception that the dog has to be looking at you at all times. This is why we do remote collar training with all of these dogs to have a way to "touch" the dog from a far if they may not be looking at us to then give a command.
I just took in a shelter dog due to the freeze in TX this year, to open up space at the shelter for the outdoor dogs... He's been with me for a week and I'm pretty positive he is deaf. He's a white pit mix and I found out white coated dogs are more likely to be deaf. This video has been super helpful - I'm going to try and train him before finding him a forever home so whoever is "willing" doesn't get overwhelmed
By attaching a consequence to the behavior. You don’t need to say anything to do so. Just have a timely correction happen the second the behavior starts. You can use an ecollar, leash pop, pet corrector, or anything else to do so.
What if I don't have an e-collar/remote collar yet? What can I do in the meantime?
Watch our “introducing a prong collar” video and start with that.
Great video!
thank you!

Is there a visual marker before the treat?
since were using a bridge reward (meaning the dog will only ever get it while in position) a marker is not needed. so no we dont use one.
What brand is the vibrating collar that you are using?
We don't use vibration collars. This is a stimulations collar. It is the ecollar technologies mini educator.

We have a few other videos on working with deaf dogs you can check out

Thanks for the kind words! And great job!

Glad you enjoyed!
I find this helpful but how do you get a very hyper puppy to look at you to do the hand movements?
Keep in mind attention is not something you teach. It comes from the dog wanting whatever it is that you have to give them. If the dog is not food motivated start by teaching leash pressure commands. That requires no attention to teach. You can find videos that we have on doing so.

Focus on getting their food drive REALLY high and just start working with them! They are a ton of fun to work with!
Amazing video
Thank you 👌👌
Thank you, how do you stop your dog from biting, especially when they're deaf?
By attaching a consequence to the behavior. You don’t need to say anything to do so. Just have a timely correction happen the second the behavior starts. You can use an ecollar, leash pop, pet corrector, or anything else to do so.
