This book will help set up dogs and caregivers to succeed! A Deaf Dog Joins the Family is designed to help deaf dog owners and to prepare them with the tools and environment needed in the home for their pup.

Families will learn how to communicate effectively and efficiently and without frustration. Caregivers will gain the knowledge and “how-to” skills to expand upon basic cues, which will translate to a larger vocabulary and set of behaviors.
