How to cope with a blind or deaf dog
For many people the idea of living with a blind or deaf dog may seem like too much hard work. Indeed, up until a few years ago dogs that were deaf were put down at birth. However with a little training- for both you and the dog- these dogs can become a full and active member of your family.
Often when a dog is blind or deaf (or both) other senses such as touch, smell and taste take over to compensate. For both dogs having a seeing or hearing dog companion can make them much happier as they can take their cues from ‘their friend'.
For blind dogs there are a few considerations tom make. Unfortunately frequent ‘Changing Rooms' style makeovers of your house are out for the time being as your dog needs to learn which routes to take safely through the house. Try and keep your house relatively tidy and consider putting a dab of perfume or essential oil at the top and bottom of the stairs so that they associate that smell with stairs. Make sure that their dog bed and dog food are in a consistent place. Finally taking your dog for walks around just a few routes will ensure that your dog stays healthy whilst remaining confident.
Whilst deaf dogs have had a bit of a reputation in the past, they can lead a perfectly normal life with a bit of consideration. Training obviously in this situation needs to be to hand signals rather than verbal controls. All members of the family should be taught these including children. When walking your dog it is advisable not to let them off the lead unless you are 100% positive your dog will return to you. Train your dog to associate being touched as a positive thing by waking them gently by stroking and immediately giving them a treat. If you need to get their attention at other times try gently touching, stamping on the ground or even throwing something beside them. Some trainers recommend vibrating (not shock) collars. When it is time for food it is an idea to have either a signal or lead your dog straight to their dog food bowl so that it does not sit around (obviously not an option if you have any other pets!).
For further information about training your dog with hand signals ask either at your vets or local pet supplies store for recommendations of trainers in your area or contact the Association of Pet Dog Trainers.
