A Challenge
It was hard to train Karl as a therapy dog because he was deaf. Joanne, his trainer, had trained three other boxers before she adopted Karl, though she hadn’t worked with a deaf dog. He required different training since he couldn’t hear commands.
The Solution
Joanne came up with a creative way to help Karl follow commands. He learned American Sign Language, so his orders got signed to him! He excelled in his work because he could finally understand what he was supposed to do!
