She is pretty!

Casper is deaf and I've fostered a few deaf dogs. I treat the same as hearing dogs, just use hand signals for training.

thats how I did with Chloe,it was the same as training any other dog.The only problem is when they want to pretend they didnt see you or conveniently have their back to you when they are doing something thats more interesting than listening to you.Then I just threw rocks at her to get her attention.

.I'm joking ,they usually do pretty good at picking up vibrations though,whenever Chloe pulled her "I cant see you" crap,I would just stomp on the floor to get her to look at me.
