Dog Health Questions: Dog training help??? Two dogs i need help with.?

Ok. i have two dogs that i need a little help training. One is my deaf pitbull... i cant tell her no or yell at her becuase she cant hear... We're trying with treats and hand signals but she sometimes cant or wont corporate.. Any ideas on how to get her attention. Oh BTW shes deaf because the people who had her before as a puppie left her out side and she got two really severe ear infections. She can hear a dog whistle but nothing else.
My other dog is a 6 month old male. Hes doing really well only he has a problem with picking on other dogs. He is a chiweenie. He likes to play but sometimes he takes it to far. whats the best way to nip this in the bud. oh and im going to get him fixed... would that help calm him down or is that just a myth?

Dog Training Part I

Recommended Answer:
If your female can hear a whistle, then use that in your training. There are training methods for hearing impaired dogs, you just have to find a trainer that is comfortable with that type of thing. I think a professional would be best to help with this, along with you and your dog, in person. Too hard to help online.

As for your other dog, neutering will help, but not as an instant calming agent. It will reduce hormones that might cause a problem in the future. But at 6 months old they are just starting. More likely, he is just a bossy little dog. Get him into a basic obedience class, and that will probably be enough.

Good luck.

At-Home Dog Training Tips

• Try to help her with the signals like sit put your hand up then down once if she won't do it try putting her butt down where it is on the floor. Next to teach her shake make her sit and shake her hand make sure to give her a treat.


• Obedience training is the foundation for establishing a better relationship between you and your dog. Obedience training helps establish the owner in the role of "pack leader". Obedience will lay down clear behavior guidelines that your dog can follow. A well-behaved, obedient dog is more than just a pet of pride. The difference lies largely in the training, and good training can save a dog's life.
