If she responds to vibrations you can thump and then use visual cues to communicate with her; that worked quite well when our dog went deaf. (Our other dog also spontaneously started being "helper dog" and would go poke him when I dropped food in the kitchen and for other events he'd be interested in.)
We got a vibrating collar that we're going to try to train her to look at us with. Also hand motions and pointing work really well. And I sign a "J" for her name.
Yeah!

ReplyDelete:D Smart doggo. I like the collar -- lets you signal regardless of the environment.
