Absolutely! Deaf dogs are relatively easy to train with basic commands, but you need to be consistent with your hand signals. Your other dogs will also likley learn the hand signals, so it will be good training for them as well. I have included a link below with some good information on training deaf dogs. http://www.deafdogs.org/training/ Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
