• Living With A Deaf Dog 30 March, 2008
The book was helpful and offered suggestions that I didn't think of. It was nice to hear someone's perspective on the matter.

• Great Advices For The Deaf Dog(s)/puppy(ies)'s Owner(s) 05 October, 2008
This book is great for anybody who have a deaf dog even deaf puppies, hard of hearing dog and elderly dogs who are getting deaf. It explained what to do with a deaf dog like how to do hand signals, what to do to get the dog's attention, what not to do and so on. It even have the stories about the owners who have experiences with their deaf dog/puppy. Previous owner who bought my dog when she was a puppy and realized something wrong with her. The ear infections caused her some hearing loss. They find hard to deal with her. They want to put her down but they couldn't do it so they asked the Breeder to do it for them and of course, the Breeder took her but never put her down. The Breeder couldn't find someone who want a hard of hearing dog until a year later I contacted him about the puppies but the Breeder doesn't have any puppy available at that time and then I mentioned to him that I noticed the picture of her on his website and asked the Breeder if that's my dog's little sister and he said yes. He said he is willing to give her to me if I'm interesting so I said I'll give it try. He knows that I will give her a good home and have patience with her b/c I'm hearing impaired, too. He found out that my dog (I bought my dog from him when my dog was a puppy) have learned hand signals without the voice so I can do the same thing with her. The first few days it was difficult b/c she have not had socialized with stranger dogs outside the farm and then after that she was getting use to my dog and now they became great friends. My dog taught her how to play "tag" game and "chase" game. She learned by watching my dog how to catch the ball in the air and she just learned it few weeks ago! Hooray!! She was so exciting what she did it b/c she was wagging her tail so hard and looked at me and my dog like "I DID IT! That was FUN! I want to do it AGAIN!" I thank the Breeder for saving her life for not putting her down. Sure, deaf dogs and hard of hearing dogs are little harder but some hearing dogs are difficult as well. I had no problem with her and I was happy about her. She is so darn cute and funny like her big brother.

• A Life Saver 19 March, 2007
I was freaking out when I found out my new baby(pup) is deaf. "Living With a Deaf Dog" was a life saver. I felt so more at ease after reading the first few pages. I also had family and friends that interact with Kiko read it. Kiko was my wild child and is now on her way to being a well behaved adult.

• So Much Help! 08 March, 2007
This book tremendously helped me understand my 3 yr. old deaf dog, Patch so much better. I didn't understand some of his behaviors and I could not find helpful books at the library. From the author's stories, tips, and advice, I have a much better understanding of what he goes through and why he exhibits some behaviors. I've had him for a year with trial especially with walking him. Since I've read this book, he and I have a much better understanding of each other. He is so willing to learn, the tips the author gave proved to be so useful! Great book! Thank you!

• Deaf Dog Books 19 June, 2008
I was recently found out that my great dane has extreme hearing difficulties and will more than likely be totally deaf within a year. I looked for books regarding deaf dogs. There were not many out there. I purchased this book and it was a wonderful beginning. I have gone on to purchase a pocket dictionary of signing and am working my own signs in with my dog. I recommend anyone who is just starting out working with a deaf dog to read this book.
