We rescued a deaf dog from someone who planned to put it down because he was deaf. This is a mix breed more likely Border Collie and Aussie. The dog is awesome with my family including the kids. Most kids friends are fine. However, The dog gets in some kind of defense mode and tries to bite some of my kids friend. Only some of the boys. What's up with that?
We always put the dog in my bedroom when there are kids here. Now, what do we do when take the dog to camping?
Keep control of the dog.....on leash whenever outside.
Tell folks/kids that walk up on you (Can I Pet Your DOG?) NO
Dog is not vicious.....just a nipper (Border Collie-herder---they like to control)
Plus being deaf it has no 'sound clues'
Deaf dogs are a bit more involved.....but if you spend the extra time they can be taught 'hand gestures'.
YOU HAVE to be involved and consistent.
