Hello Nicola - welcome to Dog Forum, I am Anna..

I love your dogs but I really love Flower - there is something completely bewitching about a dalmation.

This bit up here is the dog section and here:

Hi, Anna thanks they are amazing dogs i would not be without them, Flower might only be a pup but she is learning so much she already knows 4 sign commands (as she is deaf) and the others love her so much

Are all dalmations deaf?

 

[DCPK]

it`s about 30 %

 

[banana]

I didnt know that.. So you are teaching her sign language? Thats so cool!

 

[DCPK]

Yeah there are whole books on it, it`s a must for a deaf dog

Is it harder to do than 'normal' training?

yes i would say it is because the dog as got to be looking at you at all times and as everyone knows puppies look at anything.
