Deaf dog: Nova is a 13 yr old Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.
He is a one off dog, he is a champion show dog and loves to show
off (he still goes to training!!). I have had him since he was 6
weeeks old, and over the years picked up that his hearing was beginnning
to fail and this was when I started giving him signals (he could
then associate the signal with the word whilst he could still hear
albeit limited hearing). Now even a smile brings a reaction - what
a dog!!! Dogs with deafness need a lot of patience and understanding.
Take time with the training and it will pay dividends. Nova never
takes his eyes off me now, waiting for his next "command".
Human companions: Anne and John Russell.
Other pets:.Jay - Curly Coated Retriever

Deaf dog: Lily (English Bull Terrier) was born deaf had two
'homes' before we found her at 10 weeks. she enjoys her dog socialisation
classes and is doing very well. She can sit / go flat/ stand to hand
command. On the lead she is learing how to return to us. Lily has
a very good memory so if she sees something she would like to do and
can't at the time due to being restricted say by the lead she will
remember it for later. She loves to 'get' the hoover broom and builders
brushes as she passes. Car boot sales are a favourite as there are
a lot of teddy's at low level to suddenly dive on - she is only helping
them you understand. Lily is helping us to learn how much our communication
is usually futile, we are learning to be clear and express what we
mean ! We are currently keeping a training journal of Lily's teachings
and hope to publish it sometime in the autumn of 2002 as a training
guide. If you have anything to share around your own training, might
be interested in a deaf dog party in the north UK (on the beach) or
want to tell of something that has helped you with your dog please
do contact as your contribution will be invaluable.
Human companions: Jacqui Best
Other pets: We no longer have our lovely pepper, opera singer
Shi Tzu or Hera the 'baby' bearded collie (never got older than 6
months despite living more than ten years !! We mention then because
they are still both in our hearts and we believe 'helping' Lily in
her behaviours !!

Toby |
Town: Radcliffe, Manchester,
England
Deaf dog: Toby
Toby is a three year old Border Collie adopted in March 2002
from Manchester and District Dogs Home in Manchester . "They
didn't tell me he was deaf and at first I thought it was selective
deafness due to everything being new and him always being excited.
I have just started dog training with him in Radcliffe. The people
doing the training are excellent and very helpful. They think he has
had some training in the past and he was better behaved than the border
collie who was being assessed before him. He is frightened of dogs
that look like German Shepherds but is a really good friend. I'm glad
I got him even if he can't hear me"
Human companions: Dawn Graves, her Partner Mark and daughters
Catherine, Jenny and Samantha
Other pets: 3 birds and two gold fish

Nemo |
Town: Blackpoool, Lancashire, England
Deaf dog: Nemo:
Nemo is a one year old Border Collie.
" We picked Nemo from the
last two of a litter of 8 Blue Merle Collies because he was so inquisitive.
Soon after we realised he was deaf, and set about training him with
hand signals. He now knows about 20 to 25 different commands and
is a bronze "good citizen", silver to follow this year
(hopefully). He is one year old and is very clever and friendly.
He loves running off the lead on the beach or field. His brother
(the other of the last two) is called Blue, and lives nearby. Blue
is also deaf but learning signals well."
Human companions: Matt and Charlotte Willmot
Other pets: some fish

Summer is an 8 month old Old Enlglish Sheepdog. "I was born in Blackpool,
England. The breeder didnt tell my new mum and dad I was deaf, but
when they realised that I was they loved me too much to send me back.
I love playing football in the park, and going to the seaside for
long walks. I like playing chase with my two step sisters (Jen and
Cleo the cats), and best of all I love bathtime. I go to Swinton Dog

a beagle I have a crush on but thats a secret. If any other deaf dogs
