Oh and yes he loves chasing his brother, mom and dad, and he loves getting chased also!! That’s his favorite thing to do, is take whatever someone else has, and run!!! He will turn around and look to see if he’s getting chased, and if not, then he goes and shows off his stick, ball or toy by strutting around in front of them, and….. that’s when he will take off again! He runs with his head high up in the air! Sometimes Brian ends up getting taken out by one of the other dogs, when he looks back and doesn’t see them coming from a different direction that he didn’t expect. but he always has that prize, still in his possession, when they get back up again. sometimes I wonder if I should step in cuz his brother ( who is about 5 lbs heavier then Brian) uses his weight to over power him and knock him down. But brian seems unfazed by it….. BUT never loses the prize possession! I will take video and send it. I’m going to resend that other video now from my last post IMG_6647 2.MOV

He’s American staf and bully, and he is 8 months old. Yes mom n dad are both here. Yes they do steal from him, but he also steals from mom and dad just as much. When he doesn’t get the treat, sometimes he goes after it and will get it, and sometimes he just lets them get it. When I give them all treats, they all want what the other one has, so they drop what I give them and go take the others…. and it goes down the line, and it will always be the very same thing they all got. BUT he is finally getting it as of tonight!!!!!! IMG_6647.MOV

How do I get my deaf dog to catch treats or a ball??? It sounds like a easy answer but I’ve sat there for hours and tossed kibble to him from close and far, low and high, and I’ve tried tennis balls, even small tennis balls, a balled up sock, treats, toys, he will let them hit his nose or sometimes land on his face and he goes cross eyed looking at the treat, but he will not catch anything…. He’s even watched me toss treats to his mom n dad and they catch fine… or is this something he’s just never going to do?

Yes that’s what I’m trying to do is have him target the post it and I’ve had it in my hand and he does very well with that but he’s not associating the post it with target

Yes I have them also I ordered a bulk package and just received them. but on the part I’m having troubles with are like targeting… so when I give the hand signal for target he keeps coming to touch my hand and so we are stuck on that and I tried to use a post it but he’s not getting the connection and I’m stuck on how to communicate that to him

I really enjoy all the info and time you put into making this course, it has helped me a lot with my other two dogs that can hear. But How come you don’t offer more advice on tips for deaf dogs in each section or course or offer any advice on hand signals or any more of any thing in this whole course about deaf dogs???? That is the only thing this training program is missing. I’ve been suggesting this program to everyone I know and showed them some of the cool things my dogs can do now and they are amazed so much they have gotten them selfs a membership so now it’s become a competitionbetween all of us and our dogs…. But I am now loosing cuz one of my dogs hasn’t passed elementary class yet. So if you could help me on the deaf training for this program I’m sure it will help a lot of people also. Thanks for reading this and for making this program so easy for normal hearing dogs.. and us humans.
