Need help with rescue

[Bakiera]

Hi all,I have not been on in a long time as I have been busy with Wildlife Rehabbing. Just a question,the female Rotti I rescued in June,she is two, is very sweet and I would lilke to take her to training classes so we can bond one on one.The problem is she has poor eye sight,we had surgery for inverted eye lids,but she still has trouble seeing.We have since fouknd out that both her ear drums have been ruptured and she doesn't hear very well unless she is very close to me.Would she be able to get much benefit from training? Thank you for any help you can give.

dear bakiera, when i train my rotts i also use hand signals so that if i am ever in a loud situation and i need one of them to sit or down or stay they do not need to hear the command only see it.hope this helps strengthen the bond and the situation.good luck.

Definately take her to training classes. She will get a lot out of it and so will you. My son has an older Rottie that is totally blind and takes him to training occasionally because the dog just loves it. Between scent and really paying close attention he does just fine.
