Train your deaf pup the positive way.
Did you just introduce a deaf dog into your home? Or have you had a deaf pup for a while? AWESOME!
Training your dog is one of the best ways to build your relationship and improve your bond. But trying to figure out how to go about training your pup can feel daunting and at times frustrating.
I'm going to help you cut through the confusion—to not only learn how to properly train your deaf dog, but make sure you have a sound grounding and knowledge base in animal behavior, too.
In this Deaf Dog Training, I'll walk you step-by-step through the entire process of teaching your dog "what to do." With instructional videos (that aren't too long) and examples along the way, you'll have your dog trained in no time.
