The basic cues should be ok since I have deaf Great Danes.. what I am more
concerned about is the cues to find places like the bus stops/benches, seats,
trash as well as her retrieve cues for different items.. I have realized how
many verbal cues I use that may need to be re-taught with non-verbal
cues..Maybe I shouldn't worry too much about it until I find out what I will
have as
far as vocal capabilities.. but part of me tries to think ahead and focusing
on this helps keep me from just sitting down and laughing/crying
hysterically.. Dog training as therapy.. Lord, I must sound really unstable..
tiny
grin..maybe I should brush up the basic hand signals I use with all the dogs
and
try out some for her guide work.. She still cant really go in public with me
as she still smells faintly of the skunk from a couple weeks ago.. Anyone know
how long before she will smell ok? But we c ould work out on the streets in
the neighborhood..Although I am incredibly exhausted and have been going to
bed between 7 and 8 pm each night.. I could work on it on the weekend.
