I absolutely love the ping pong ball to diffuse the light--such a great idea. I haven't found the right light to train my deaf cat because they are all to similar to a laser, so this is so helpful. Thanks!
Oh, bless you! Please let me know if there's anything I can help with! A local rescue I work with just had a deaf AND blind puppy come through my class. We suspect possible sharpei. She's got a wrinkly face, too. (And still up for adoption...)
Thanks for this! I have a 8wk old pup that my older dog just attacked after fair warning near his food...he is healed and good, but that made me realize this issue, he didnt hear any warning growls... He's a foster, but a pitty, so thank god the local recuse group here in Belize got him from the vendor, because I dont want to think what would happen to a pitty that cant hear threats. I will follow your videos and figure out how to give him his best life, thank you so much!
I had a Golden that went deaf in old age. At first we thought she was going senile or getting stubborn, but when we figured out she couldn't hear, it was amazing how she had picked up hand gestures (that we didn't realize we were giving along with tricks) that she had learned on her own,
I have a beautiful 1 yr old pit baby that is deaf that I am attempting to train this month. THIS VIDEO IS AWESOME!!! I NEED his attention so we can focus on dog aggression.
Great video. We have a 13wk old deaf english staffy. A very quick learner. I have often used hands signals when training dogs but the fact that he is deaf just makes me work a little harder at coming up with a range of signals. Looking forward to more of your clips.
Just found out our 6m old English bulldog is either deaf or hard of hearing. We noticed she doesn’t react to sound like our other dogs. She doesn’t even react to their barking. This will be so helpful getting her trained ❤
Thanks for the tips! We're about to meet & greet our new rescued dog who's deaf, and we're really excited about knowing more tricks to teach her signal language. Thank you!
I'm thinking of adopting a deaf dog and have been doing tons of research. I think I'm going to try this before I introduce a vibrating collar. I'm so glad I found this because this seems like a more gentle way to start
Me and my wife raised a deaf boxer and he was pretty easy to train after he passed we had tossed the idea around of adopting another deaf dog. We recently just adopted a deaf Jack Russell and are beginning her training. Like the tips you have to share look forward to adding these to our training. Thank you
I love the idea with the flashlight marker and probably will build one myself. I adopted a deaf dog a few days ago and while I'm pretty good with training hearing dogs now I'm sucking in all the infos on deaf dogs. Your video helped a lot
I'm glad you found it useful! I would suggest teaching a marker with your hand in addition to the flashlight. I just had a former client tell me the flashlight was harder to see outside in the daylight. Good luck!
@@razendar Good luck! Just to be clear, I'm not saying to use them at the same time but to teach them both so you can use one or the other, depending on the situation.
I found this super helpful for just trying to get started training my older cocker spaniel who has lost hearing over the last year or so. Thank you for sharing this!
My service dog IT is deaf. Thank you so much for these tips. She is in training and needs socialization with people, but she’s doing so good and I’m so proud of her.
Hi I have a tiny Yorkie she is 3 months old and I think she is deaf, I'm so glad excited to find you I'm going to start learning these tecnics to start teaching my little girl.
This gives me hope that ziggy my deaf doggy can be trained. I will comment later this year (lil ziggy training update) . Thank ypu for sharing your great tips
Amazing tips. Thanks a bunch! Just bought a puppy and appears to be hearing impaired. This gives me so much hope for the future of my pup. God bless you
I don't understand why some owners will be put off by a dog being deaf. They are just as loving and affectionate. Hoping to adopt a deaf Spaniel cross called Quincey, really hope I get chosen to adopt him. 🐶
I just realized that my dog is deaf, there’s no way I’m getting rid of her, we love her dearly, she’s only seven months old, I’m biggest concern is learning to communicate with her, I’m looking at videos so I can learn, who ever has a dog and they find out they’re deaf, don’t get rid of them , it’s not their fault, love them to death ❤
first 5 mins. did teach me great stuff. thanks a lot. gonna keep watching you. tomorrow i will start flash treat training. hope i will achieve something like you
Super helpful! My 17 year old toy poodle went deaf two years ago and this will be good to keep up that communication and bond! But how do you teach them their name (Molly)? Can that be done in this situation?
Is there a list of just the videos related to deaf dogs? I adopted a one year old deaf Cattle Dog three weeks ago. I've had a deaf dog before, but I didn't do her initial training so I'm looking for all the suggestions I can find.
I checked through my videos and realized I don't have that many. (Deaf dogs don't come through too often.) I'll have to work on that! In the meantime, here's the playlist I promised. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask. (You can also find me on Facebook, Instagram, and Patreon if any of those are easier.) ua-cam.com/play/PLfKyvmbpHk9jtjrSixXxvQJCMsRsyXRns.html
We just adopted a one year old Australian Heeler. It turns out she is deaf. She has been abused and is so malnourished. I Hope you had good luck with training. My journey is just starting :/
@@sunshyne850 I'm wishing you all the best with your new pup. I've found that my pup is so focused on any kind of movement and so food motivated that he picks up things quickly. He also chases squirrels, birds, and shadows, though.
@@kaylisstone4467 thank you. I appreciate it. She is really smart, but I'm going to have to find her a good home. She's very playful and I have two small old grouchy dogs who do not want to play at all and I'm afraid they are going to get hurt. It breaks my heart, but she also needs a fenced yard because she wants to chase cars.
Hi , you said ask. I have a 14 week old Great Dane (mom) black mouth curr (dad) puppy 46 pounds. It seems like he hears but then it seems like he doesn’t. I tried squeaky toys when he didn’t see n he didn’t move. Yet I shook a couple keys he heard. Wondering can he hear? I have 2 other dogs that it seems he hears them when they bark outside n seems mean n to them 2. He runs away. He barked the first time when my neighbor n her dog walked by. We were in my yard. I did train him to sit , n down. I do hand signals n verbal. But when he’s in the yard I thought he’d hear me n just go play more. So now I have a big purple noodle ( soft pool noodle ) I touch him with when he either doesn’t hear or ignores me. To get his attention, now is it a game or can he not hear ? Now even another person questioned can he hear. Or could it be like only certain sounds? I’m going through a hearing loss issue now, sometimes I can hear the voice but no words or I have to have the tv loud bc of other noise in order to hear. I mention is my loud tv bad for him. ? 😢 thank you kindly.
I’m looking at a adorable pit bull to possibly adopt how ever he is deaf so before I even contact the foster family I want to learn what I need to know to take care of him
Hi, Adela! Thanks for dropping by! I have another video. They are in a playlist together. Is there something specific you want to see? (Also, feel free to join my support group on Facebook - Why Dog, Why?! Training Q&A.)
What kind of dog is this? We have a rescue dog and this looks like her fully grown up. We thought she was a rott mutt/mix but she looks exactly like this pup.
Hello there! I own a deaf American Staffordshire puppy that is currently 4 months old. I want to buy a vibration collar for her to start training her to recall, but while i saw too many reviews out there i cannot decide which one to get. Do you have any recommendations? Money is not an issue, i want to get her the best choice possible. Thank you in advance!
We just adopted a deaf border collie... But we didn't know she was deaf when we got her. I figured she was spunky and strong willed... But it turns out she can't hear us, even if she would ignore us if she did... I am so lost on how to get started ... She won't focus on us at all ... Are the treats we're trying to use not high value enough? I don't want to give her back... But at this rate my roommate has nearly give up
Hmmmm.... Interesting thought.... That would need to be done very strategically and may end up being harder. I think there might be too many "rules" to using one as they take extra caution for various reasons. I do like how the button works on them, but I'm not sure the benefits outweigh the risks for me. Practicality-wise, one big concern is helping your dog make the behavior-marker connection without looking at you. If we're pointing it at the ground, we may end up struggling with that important message.
i want to ask... i have 3 months old dogo argentino totally deaf. i started to train with flash and treat but it seems so distracted and also me and my wife doing this together. but im not sure if it's proper age to train. can u help me?
Puppies that age are REALLY distractable and can only stay focused for a few minutes at a time typically. Maybe limit your sessions to 5 min each and spread them out over the course of the day. Just end each one while the puppy is still engaged.
My 13 year old doxie just became deaf from old age. Vet verified. Can I teach an old deaf dog new tricks or how to understand? Help. Vet is no help. We've brought him to 3. Every vet just says he's old and now deaf. How do I help him? In the morning when he's sleeping he gets startled. I want to make his life easier for his time left here in earth. Can I be trained to help him?
Awww, I would just start out marking and treating the times when she's quiet. Also, figure out what works best as a distraction or redirection technique for her. You can always email info@attapuptraining.com. (Don't hesitate to email more than once. I get a lot of emails.)
i have a deaf dog and he was really bad at first but then i did some training and he was better. i recently moved a few weeks ago and now he just constantly eats everything (my shoes, my bra, wires, anything on the ground). none of the training that worked before is working now, i even got him more toys to play with and chew instead of my stuff and nothing is working. me and my aussie need help :(
Hey, Chassey! If you skip to 1:47, you'll find the "instructions." It's just a little keychain flashlight with a ping pong ball glued to it. Great question!
I just adopted a deaf Westie, 5 months old. I have been able to train her to come inside through a doggy door, but she just isn't picking up on how to go out through the same door. Any suggestions?
Hi, Steven! I'm going to guess you've already trying luring her through it. Is there a way to remove the door entirely for you to practice? If not, maybe you can prop it open and play a few "in and out games." What methods have you tried so far?
@@attapuptraining I would prop the flap open and put a treat just outside the door. When she went out, I gently lowered the flap onto her back. I would put the treat out further (just an inch or two) with every attempt. She would eventually go through but not unless I was holding the flap. Thanks to our cat, Luna chased her right out the doggy door. Ever since, she thinks she a hot shot and is going through all by herself. I guess I wasn't using the right motivation! LOL
I absolutely love the ping pong ball to diffuse the light--such a great idea. I haven't found the right light to train my deaf cat because they are all to similar to a laser, so this is so helpful. Thanks!
Who knew Reece Witherspoon was such a good dog trainer?
