I'm so glad you aren't giving up Lucious just because he's deaf! I have a deaf cat, and even though he can't hear, he still makes a wonderful pet. I'm including a link to an organization called Deaf Dog Education Action Fund, which includes a lot of tips on living with a deaf dog and how to train them. Congrats on your new dog! http://www.deafdogs.org/training/
