Hi everyone, I am new to owning a cocker but not to dogs, I also have shown dogs in Conformation with AKC and done obedience and rally as well. I am owned by a Doberman Pinscher, a Catahoula Leopard Dog, and just most recently Wally, a blind and deaf 7 month old puppy. I can only speculate as to where he came from because of what the woman we rescued him from told us but by looking at his AKC papers and a few reviews on the kennel he came from that it wasn't a stellar place. Right now we are working on potty training and finding our way around the house.
I have trained many dogs before (My Doberman is actually my Service Dog and he is owner trained) I have also worked with blind dogs and deaf dogs but I have never trained a dog that was both so I am having quite a few problems with this fellow on learning exactly HOW to communicate with him (he is highly food motivated it turns out)
Here are some pictures of my pack. Wally was a little urine stained when we got him and so I gave him a good grooming. There are a few before pics and then the rest are after I gave him his bath and cut.
Any advice on how to help with training Wally would be super appreciated! Thank you!
