Here at ITDT we firmly believe dogs of all abilities are able to learn with positive reinforcement strategies.
From a training standpoint, it can be tough on an owner to re-learn how to communicate with a deaf or blind (or deaf and blind) canine. Rest assured it is possible to do!
In fact, our very own demo dog, Smudge (pictured below), is a double merle who is deaf and losing his vision. He is trained via tactile cues (touch) and is a great ambassador for dogs like himself.
If you are interested in learning how to train your deaf/blind dog, please text 309.507.6209 “Handicapable” to schedule your zoom consult
