Training a Deaf Dog!

This type of training is great for a deaf dog! You can even achieve an off leash recall! It works really well for hearing dogs too!



She uses Dogtra remote collars to help get the dogs attention and teach him commands. Dogs respond very well to the vibration with the pager feature and it instills muscle memory. She has taught him to heel completely off leash, and to come when called. She also uses various hand signals in place of verbal commands.

She has several other videos on her youtube channel
If you click uploads and search "deaf training" you will see several other videos and updates about this dog.
He had been rehomed many times because he would sneak out the door and run away and there was no way to call him back. Now he would make a suitable pet for anyone who has the time to keep up his training.
