Rosie parecía reservada de más, no respondía realmente a los cuidadores de la protectora en la que estaba... hasta que se dieron cuenta que la perra ¡era sorda! Entonces le enseñaron a comunicarse y todo cambio.
Pero la historia es aún mejor... Una mujer sorda, que siempre quiso compartir su tiempo con una perra que fuera como ella, para poder comunicarse a todos los niveles, ha adoptado a Rosie.
Uno de esos vídeos que emocionan sí o sí.
PD: Por si os interesa, en internet hay muchos tutoriales que muestran cómo enseñar a perros sordos.
Y hay una web estupenda -Deaf Dogs Rock, algo así como "Los perros sordos son la caña", que ofrece muchísima información al respecto.
If you want to teach your deaf dog how to play fetch start with 2 tennis balls. Throw the first one and when he runs to get it, recall him with the "come here" sign, show him the second ball which will make him come running. When he gets to you ask him to "drop it" and as soon as he does, throw the second ball. This will condition your deafies to return to you every time. Once that is going well use one ball and incorporate "back up and either sit or lay down". As soon as your deaf dog backs up and settles as a reward throw the ball again. When Bowie rushes the ball to prevent me from picking it up, I walk away. This has taught him not to rush the ball.
