re: Deaf puppy - what to name and how to train?

Deaf dogs are tough. I have a deaf english bulldog and she is a handful. Hand signals are about the only thing that sometimes work. I look like an idiot waving my arms around in my backyard trying to get her attention. Best advice I can give you is keep him on leash when outside or keep him in a fence. If he goes after something there isn't much you can do. Hand commands don't do shite when they are running after another animal in the other direction. Luckily mine is an inside dog so I have control over that.
