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.)
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.
