  1. I love puppies. I just got one particular a week ago and it has not been trained yet and has bitten me a couple of times but its absolutely nothing to be concerned about, i can train it well. I hope :-)

  2. this is a really good idea. training deaf dogs does not only give his owner ways to communicate with him but will surely relieve him knowing that they now have a two-way communication.

    My daughter recently adopted a puppy – an American Eskimo – and she is deaf. We are looking for infomation on a similiar training program in the Houston area. Is there anyone you could recommend to us?
    Thank you,
