"How To Teach Hand Signals To Deaf Dogs"
Long before the invention of vibration based systems I had to deal
with the issues of training a deaf dog with a remote collar. It has
been my experience that some hunting dogs tend to have substantial
hearing loss as they reach "old age."
We have had a few dogs that could still physically hunt past the age of 12 but many had limited ability to hear voice commands
or whistle commands. Tone options were also useless on these dogs.
We teach our dogs hand commands at a young age for long distant
commands but we normally tie a whistle command or a verbal command to
get the dogs attention prior to giving the hand signal.
When we ran into the issue of an older dog that could still hunt (with
limited time on the ground) we needed a way to get the dogs attention
to be able to give the hand signal.
I first did this with a female brittany named "Babe." Around the age
of 12 she had substantial hearing loss but still had the physical
ability to hunt for short periods of time when the weather was cool.
I would seldom run her more than 30 or 45 minutes a day but this was
enough for her to enjoy her last couple of seasons.
Using a remote training collar with extremely low stimulation levels
we quickly taught her to look in my direction when I gave her two taps
at the lowest level that she could feel.
To start this training we put her on a 30 foot check cord and worked
her in the back yard. I would give her a double tap and turn her with
the cord so she was facing me. The second she looked in my direction
I gave her the hand signal that I wanted her to do (mainly changing
directions or coming in to me) and she quickly picked up the idea.
It helped that hand signals were part of her normal training and that
she had been using a collar the majority of her life.
Vibration collars can work in the same fashion. They allow you the
option of communication without stimulation. Much like every other
signal that you introduce to your dog (stimulation, vibration or tone)
they mean nothing to the dog without the correct association. Dogs do
not understand vibration without the training.

If this is your first visit to Gun Dog Supply, welcome to our online Yahoo! Store.
-- Way back in 1997, we got the idea to sell on the WWW after shopping on eBay and
Amazon and buying through other online catalogs.
It's so much easier to offer more information and content with an online
catalogue, rather than a 72-page mail order brochure. Customers enjoy
reading our info and articles where we share our opinions on our top-rated
products.
From time to time we feature our top-selling products with promotional
pricing or free shipping. Most of the time, most regular products are sold
below manufacturers' suggested retail prices (MSRP). We sometimes offer
wholesale pricing to qualified dealers on certain items and some offers are
consumer only, no-dealer purchasing. Some people are more interested in
choosing the cheapest, clearance-priced items such as overstock through an
outlet dealer. Make sure your purchases are through an AUTHORIZED Internet
dealer, especially for electronic canine products for warranty support
issues.
Buyers save when you shop online. Why surf the Web for discount codes,
online promo codes, and coupons when you know we have every day low prices?
Your satisfaction with your purchases is important to us. We use the Yahoo! Store
Rating system and our consumer reports are very good. We offer
product recommendations and stand behind our recommended & reviewed products
with our 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. Comparing prices is important, but
when you find the lowest, discounted item, you may find other things, too.
Savings may vary. Discounts and coupon prices subject to change without
notice.
