Neal 1,787 Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Not had a deaf pup but currently have a deaf adult due to old age...funny thing is that I have no idea how long he's been deaf as he always had the knack of doing the right thing without needing to be asked. It wasn't until I walked up behind him in my walking boots on a tiled floor and made him jump as he was looking out of the back door, wondering where I was, that I realised he couldn't hear me. Gradually retrained him over the last few years to work to hand signals...but the facial expressions he's picking up on probably help more than my hand signals.
