• How are you able to 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 handle 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 in point of fact 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 in reality like to own a deaf dog: from accommodations to cuddles. This book will provide you with the information you wish to have to understand and best handle a deaf dog.

My goal is that can assist 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 large number of love to share, but they require owners that are prepared to deal with 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 book is for you.
