I would like to know your opinion about your classes for my dog, she is deaf.
We teach a combination of visual and verbal cues, so in the case of a deaf dog we’ll focus on the visual cues and food lure. Usually deaf dogs have a heightened sense of smell, which works perfectly in the advantage of the handler.
