I am so glad your little guy is part of your family. You are taking such good care of him! :heart:

Thank you! I'm trying!

I've started his "watch me " training today.
Wave to catch attention, touch nose to initiate eye contact, thumbs up and a smile, pet head for reinforcement.

Once he's passed as parasite free and feeling better and I can let him roam the house I'll start more with treat training for that, but since he's deaf I have to start somewhere... And this is the base for all of his training. Looking at us! Haha.

Tomorrow I'm going the pet store to get him his tag which I will add "deaf dog" along with our address. We don't put names on our dogs tags, but adding that to Titan's seems like a good idea.

Well you just keep the stories coming and don't worry about posting too much. We like hearing about your babies and especially your new baby so we can keep up with his health. Shame on that breeder, they should be run out of business. Breeders like that get my blood boiling, because I am also a breeder and stand behind my pups, because I pay close attention to the pedigree we are breeding and try to get the best Frenchies we can. I'm sorry you have to go through all this hardship and expense, the breeder should be helping with that. I hope you get your baby healthy soon, so he can be the happy playful baby he should be. The deaf part will be a bit of a challenge, but he will learn and still be a loving boy. Please keep us posted as how he is ding and I hope he starts gaining weight soon.

Thank you! I felt like I made so many threads in one day! Now that I know what's wrong and have a good vet to help me I'll probably slow down for a while until I get Titan 100% better and start training him with ASL. I think anything I teach him and document will benefit people in the future! And hopefully help prevent situations like his (the parasites and bad breeding).

Titan "called" to you. When they haunt you like that, it is meant to be. We didn't mean to get another dog, but we went and drove two hours just to "see" Bambi. I thought a road trip with my husband would be fun. We didn't take her that day, but I couldn't get her off of my mind after that and knew she belonged with us. Obviously, you had an emotional connection with Titan that drew you together. He is a love. He will have a wonderful life and will learn the ropes just fine.

I agree! It was meant to be~

Oh no!! I've been absent for a few days and just finished reading this thread. I just want to give you guys a big hug!! You are such a great mama, and your kids (furry and not!) are so lucky to have you. Titan is definitely a special boy, deaf or not, and will be a happy puppy regardless of the outcome! I totally agree with everyone, he called to you and you answered. :yes:

Been out for a bit also and read this. Sorry to hear about some of the issues but it looks like Titan is in very good hands to take care of him. I bet a few people out there would have given up on him, but he found the perfect home for him.
