Yes i sign for her(big learning curb for me) any subtle changes with them signs it throws her off lol

If you want to compare notes, just start a thread with the title FAO chloexxx - I'm sure that Sue will be happy to share her experiences with Blake!

I had previous staffies, mainly rescues who have been completly deaf.

I have trained all of them with hand signals. They were abandoned due to the deafness as people said they couldnt train them.

If you work hard with sign and signal training you will have a cracking dog. Mine used to wear bright pink bandannas with IM DEAF embroidered on them so people knew they couldnt hear.

They were fab dogs and miss them gratelly

Yea all mine have just got new tags but she has a special one that says i am deaf bandanas a good idea aswell.shes a crakin dog shes better behaved than my 2 yr old dog whoes just getting an attitude lol.she knows sit .laydown.come.wait and crate.when i took her to vet and they confirmed what i thought they asked if i wanted help rehoming her .saying that i wasent even wanting another dog my middle one had sep anxiety severely. So no way did i want a third.but i just knew there was something special about her noway would i give up on her

If you want bandanas making up let me know and will give you details of the supplier i used or i can order them for you hun in most colours

Ooi thank u hun i would certainly give that a try as she is let of lead and is fine but she jumps on people sometimes ect or follows other dogs on field sone people thibk shes just out of controll lol at least something clearly visible will help

Hi there! We have three deaf dogs; an 8-year-old Boston called Mini, a 4-year-old Staffy boy called Sergei and a 2-year-old Staffy girl called Evie. We also have two hearing Bostons, Earl and Kalevi. They're all brilliant. I found house-training Mini and Sergei took quite long, but Evie on the other hand learnt it in an instant. I'm sure getting stupid and hyper goes for most Staffy puppies, deaf or hearing I remember our late Staffies, Samson and Freja (RIP mommy's Little Boy and Little Girl), used to go absolutely nuts as well, and didn't heed a thing at that stage, might as well have been deaf.

Would love to see pics of little Lola!

Ill try sort them out today ill dedicate my time to the inet figure it out on my phone as i have a photobucket account beware for major cuteness tho

Only looked at the first dozen or so but........cute!!

I'd be careful, though, with your son & staffs (I take it that's your son?) - little boys can be really vicious! Seriously, it's always good to see pics of young children with staffs (and other dogs, of course!).

I know ive often thought of rehoming the child for the sake of my poor dogs

I could show u picture of my friends son in the dog cage but you'd have me for child cruelty!!

Hell, I'll show you any way- he put himself in there and shut the door!!





he has a thing for the dog cage and pushes his staffy out the cage so he can lay down in it his self!!

The dog looks puzzled every time he does it LOL

I will say tho ive stopped my son going in there crates.as there crates are the only plave they can get away from him if they need to.and if a child is pushing a dog out of its safe zone its kinda askin for trouble so mine no longer do it.i diddent realy care until we rescued an aggressive staffy but take them steps so everybody feels happy

Lola is adorable You have a great-looking crew there. And I love the fact that your dogs and cats get on so well.

God yea they do.the puppy is a bit full on with them as obv she cant hear when she rough but they all sleep togeather dogs groom the kittys lol i currently cant get on my sofa as there all layed togeather taking it up :b

Lolas booked in to be spayed soon poor girl lol
