I would think Wolverine could be treated like most puppies except when it comes to verbal commands and training. Since he is deaf, when you are rewarding him for using the potty outside, stand directly in front of him so he can get his reward and associate it with the behavior. There are many books about training deaf dogs so make sure to pick one up! Congrats on the new addition to your home!
