hearing dogs for the deaf
How can a person traim a deaf dog?
My daughter has just adopted a 8 month albino red nosed pitt bull puppy that was born deaf. Does anyone know how to train a deaf dog? She is a smart dog, however it is very hard to talk to her if she can’t hear the orders my daughter is barking at her. My daughter can’t even teach her to watch the house when she is at work with her hearing problem. Do they make hearing aids for dogs??
Here are some great tips on how to train deaf dogs:

Here is a support group, to meet others and share experiences of raising deaf dogs.

Your daughter needs to be realistic here, and not expect her deaf dog to guard her home. Even hearing pit bulls are not usually great guard dogs.
