Question
Dear Cindi,

I'm one of dog lovers and this is my first time having a puppy great dane, and i choose a 3 months full white great dane puppy, unfortunately she is deaf.
Could You give me a trick how to train her.
Thank You so mush before

Best Regards,
Heryanto P

Answer
Quite the undertaking :). Use treats to keep her focused on you. Use hand signals for each command. Go slowly, lots of patience and reward. Alot of people find that knocking or tapping their foot on the floor also helps to get a deaf dogs attention. Primarily you are going to have to rely on hand signals, lots of patience, loves, and reward, reward reward. Ignore the mistakes.She will REALLY learn to watch your face and your body language. Also, DO remember to be very VERY consistent. This is even more important with a deaf dog
Good luck
Cindi
