Recommendations for a deaf dog; cross posting
Hello everyone; I think tl;dr needs to be at the start.
Basically my dog is deaf and I’m looking for something that gives haptic feedback to get her attention. Basically I want a shock collar without it causing harm to her. The haptic feedback from the Apple Watch is what I’m thinking, it’s gentle and it wakes me up without feeling panicked.
I have 3 Shih Tzu mix dogs, the male is an actual Shih Tzu, the other two are female and they have that hairlike texture instead of fur.
I live in Houston and my ex found her abandoned after we had our 2021 freeze and I just COULDN’T say no when my ex asked if I wanted her. So I honestly don’t know if she’s real old, or she just had a rough life on the street.
My mom is my dog sitter when I work, and in the past few months we found out she’s deaf. We’ve both gotten to my home on separate occasions and have both yelled at her (she wasn’t running to meet us and get a treat) and we assumed the worst.
Then I noticed that she’s not afraid of thunder, fireworks, gunshots from my video games and realized she’s deaf lmao.
Anyway, I just want to be able to let her loose at a dog park and be able to get her attention. I recently moved to a new apartment with a yard just so she can have freedom to roam outside while I’m inside playing video games.
Thanks in advance.
