Deaf Dog Myth # 5
If I adopt a deaf dog I won't be able to do ___
(agility, therapy, obedience, rally, etc)
Deaf dogs are most certainly out
there and participating in dog sports and activities! Many are competing and winning titles and
awards. Deaf dogs learn very quickly to
watch our body language cues. Training
my deaf dogs has made me a better handler for all my dogs, even my hearing
dogs. They have made me aware of how
just a slight change in my posture or body language can communicate so much to
my dogs!
people ALWAYS underestimate the affect of any disability - as a disabled person myself I know it only to well
