Have any questions about Aussies, or dogs in general? Feel free to ask them... I will answer them to the best of my ability. (I am under 2 yrs old but am incredibly knowledgeable for my age.)

Re: training deaf and blind puppy


Hi there! There is help for you on the net with Piper. In Joy's "Special Needs" area there is our first "Make Your Dog a Star" winner, Stevie. You can read his story at http://www.jabed.com/star.htm . You might even want to send a letter to his human mom, Debbie Moore. Her email link is on the page. I might also suggest that you go to: http://www.deafdogs.org/resources/otherlinks.html#deafblind . There you will find a deaf and blind email list. Members of the list are very supportive and readily share their ideas and experiences. Most of all, best wishes and God bless. You are a very special person. Piper is lucky to have found you!




High paws and lots of licks,




Eli

Replying to:

I have rescued a 5 1/2 month old blind and deaf Dachshund puppy, Piper. In searching for information I saw "touch training" mentioned in an Aussie article. I was hoping to find further information on "touch training" to help Piper live his life to the fullest.
