Las Vegas, NV – November 9, 2006 – When dogs can’t hear their owners’ voices and commands, it makes training a difficulty and often these dogs are considered non-responsive or aggressive. Trainers at ‘Sit Means Sit’ believe deaf dogs can still be trained, overcoming communication barriers by using remote training collars.
With no words spoken, the trainers communicate with the dogs through gentle vibrations of the remote collar. The vibrations allow trainers to gain the dog’s attention, which facilitates direction through subsequent hand signals and cues. Owners of deaf dogs deemed previously ‘un-trainable’
‘Sit Means Sit’ trainer Ashton Fitz-Gerald recently worked with a deaf Pit Bull named Otis to help his chances of getting adopted. To see the video of the remarkable training methods, please click on the following link: http://video.google.com/
“Otis is an amazing dog and even though others thought he should have been put down, we knew that ‘Sit Means Sit’ would be able to help train him despite his inability to hear through the vibrations of our remote collars,” said Fitz-Gerald. “The training has really helped us get through to Otis and with any luck he’ll be adopted very soon.”
