Publisher's summary

Written by experienced deafie owner Amanda Brahlek and using contributions from dozens of deaf dog owners, this truly is a “must listen” for anyone opening their home to a deaf dog.

In these sections you’ll find answers to the most important questions a new deaf dog owner is faced with:

  • What accommodations do you need to make for your deafie?
  • How to prepare your home for a deaf dog
  • Training, communication, and hand signals
  • How do you safely socialize a deaf dog with other dogs?
  • How can you promote comfort and security with your deafie?

Amanda's story:

Before I adopted my deaf Catahoula, I searched and searched for information on what to expect and how to care for him. I needed a "what to expect when you’re expecting" guide but for deaf dogs. Unfortunately, each source I read fell short. Most sources offered the same generic, inadequate information and advice. None prepared me for what owning a deaf dog was really like. I knew I could write a better guide, so I did.

And here it is! This is the guide I wish I had before adopting my deaf dog, when I brought him home, and for the months and years that followed.

Find out what it’s truly like to own a deaf dog: from accommodations to cuddles. This audiobook will provide you with the information you need to understand and best care for a deaf dog.

My goal is to help you feel confident in your decision when considering if a deaf dog is the right choice for you, and, if it is, to assist you in training your deaf dog.

Deaf dogs are lovable goofballs with a lot of love to share, but they require owners that are prepared to handle all aspects of their personalities and needs. If you’re feeling overwhelmed after adopting a deafie or uncertain whether or not to adopt a deaf dog, this audiobook is for you.

Very redundant

It seems every chapter says the same thing. Nothing beyond common sense in here.
