Some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/caring-for-a-senior-pet\/\">senior dogs<\/a> will begin to lose their hearing due to degeneration of the nerves inside the ear. Regardless of the cause, learning how to communicate with your deaf pet is important for her safety and for the relationship you have with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/contact-us\/\">contact us<\/a> if you think your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/ask-a-vet-how-to-tell-if-your-pet-is-going-deaf-or-blind\/\">dog is losing her hearing<\/a>. Symptoms include:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Unresponsiveness to her name or known commands like \u201ccome\u201d<\/li><li>Unresponsiveness to sounds like the doorbell or your car keys<\/li><li>No longer reacting to sounds that used to upset her, like the vacuum cleaner or lawn mower<\/li><li>Behavioral changes, like sleeping a lot, not greeting you at the door, or acting extra clingy<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Train a Deaf Dog<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dog sign language will help you communicate visually with your dog.

Try your phone\u2019s flashlight, stomping your foot to create a vibration, or a light tap on her shoulder. Teach her that this is her cue to turn toward you and pay attention. When she does this, reward her with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/now-is-the-time-to-make-your-own-pet-treats\/\">yummy treat<\/a>!<\/li><li>Choose simple hand signals for commands like \u201ccome\u201d and \u201csit.\u201d Professional trainers use standard signals, but if your dog has never been taught these, you can create your own. All that matters is that you and your dog know what the dog sign language means.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Continue to speak while providing nonverbal commands so you look relaxed and natural.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/positive-vs-negative-dog-training-key-concepts-for-dog-owners\/\">Reward good behavior<\/a> with treats and plenty of ear scratches!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety Tips for Deaf Pets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Other things to keep in mind when caring for a deaf dog:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Always <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beverlyhillsvets.com\/blog\/leash-laws-how-to-pick-a-safe-dog-leash\/\">keep a deaf dog leashed<\/a> when out for a walk.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Be mindful that in the beginning, touching her from behind will startle her, and she could become fearful.
