Hey Kimberly, I'm so glad that it helped relieve some of your stress and sooth the neighbor's nerves. I'm sure that the gift trick won't work with everyone,...

Hi, I apologize if I am bringing up a common issue as I don't read all of the posts all the time, but my B/D Aussie, Tabi is developing some frustrating...
Perhaps instead of tapping her, you could try luring her with a treat or toy? Then you could work on starting that from a greater and greater distance,...
It also might sound silly, but try blowing in her direction. :o) That's how I taught my blind & deaf Aussie, Zephyr, to find me years ago. Worth a shot! -- ...
I have developed the habit of always tapping on my mostly B /D dog when I change rooms and I make sure she can see me (she has very limited vision in the lower...
Monica, My d/b boy (Cory) sometimes whines when he doesn't know where I am. I've taught him to respond to two stomps on the floor. He will feel the vibration...

Hi, I have an older blind and deaf cocker (she was a stray when I got her so I think she's around 14 or 15) who was deaf when she came to me and over the past...
I can completely indentify with this--it is heartbreaking. We had a cocker who went blind and deaf--also glaucoma. She never did adjust and as you said, the...
Christine, I'm sorry, I don't have any advice. I came here looking for ideas on why my 22 month old deaf Aussie who is quickly losing her vision to cataracts...
