Question:

I am taking my deaf JR puppy, 'Molly' to training classes at the end of the month with normal hearing dogs and i am not sure how the classes will work for Molly and myself?

I know , from having 3 hearing dogs of my own that alot of the training consists of using different tones in the voice to teach/train your puppy to respond in the correct way, but obviously, this will not work for Molly.

Molly is now 5 months old and is doing well with 'sit', 'no', 'good girl!', but i would like to teach her the 'stay' and 'come' command too. What should i expect from the classes and is there anything i need to do to prepare for them? Should i tale lots of her favourite treats??I must admit i am a little nervous about them!! Thanks for reading this post......
