How To Get Your Deaf Dog’s Attention

 


Calling out your dog’s names will immediately catch their attention. For deaf dogs, you have to get creative on how to seek his attention. Below are some tips on various ways to catch his attention:

      Most pet owners who have deaf dogs use an electronic collar that vibrates. The collar vibrates when you push a button found in the remote. With this vibrating collar, you can train your dog to look at you whenever he feels the vibration by pressing the button nonstop until he responds. Giving him a treat reinforces his behavior after he responds to the vibration.

      A few pet owners also use a flashlight to get their dog’s attention. You can begin training them by turning on and off the flashlight. If you can get his attention, then you can continue to turn it on and off until your dog searches for the source of the light. If he goes, give a treat right away to reinforce the behavior.

      You can also stomp on the floor to create vibrations strong enough to be felt by your dog and get his attention. He may turn his head once he notices the vibrations.
