Due to hearing loss, deaf dogs face a far greater degree of danger than hearing dogs when they are outdoors; they cannot hear their masters' calls, nor can they sense potential risks through their voices. When they leave their familiar environment and come to the city streets, crowded parks or relatively unfamiliar country lanes, all kinds of unknown risks are like traps hidden in the dark, which may sometimes threaten their lives.

Deaf Dogs Face Many Unknown Risks When They Are Outdoors

• Deaf Dog Has A High Risk Of Getting Lost

Deaf dogs can not hear the owner's shout or whistle; once out of the owner's sight, it is difficult to return on their own. Even if the owner is frantically searching, the Deaf dog may not be able to find the owner in time and run farther and farther away.

• Deaf Dogs Lack Alertness To The Surrounding Sound

Hearing dogs have a sensitive sense of hearing and can be heard through the subtle sound of potential threats (such as other animals, low roars, footsteps, etc.). Still, the deaf dog is unprepared and may be suddenly rushed out by vicious dogs, wild animals (such as snakes and bears) or malicious human attacks.

• Deaf Dogs Face More Serious Dangers At Night Or In Bad Weather

Limited vision at night and weather such as heavy rain and fog further weaken deaf dogs' recognition ability, making it more difficult to find their way home.

The Unique Challenges of Deaf Dog Care

Deaf dogs are docile and loyal but require more attention in their daily management. However, dog owners are helpless and concerned when dealing with a deaf dog. They can't alert a deaf dog to danger or recall him to his side by calling his name or blowing a whistle as they do with normal dogs. Outdoors, the owners can only maintain a high level of alertness and keep deaf dogs out of their sight as much as possible. However, this kind of companionship and care not only requires a lot of energy but is also always accompanied by worry and anxiety because dog owners know very well that every danger deaf dog faces in the outdoors may pose a threat to their lives, which brings dog owners a lot of extra pressure.

• Dog Owners Are Always On Edge

Dog owners must keep a close eye on their deaf dogs, and the slightest negligence may lead to lost or dangerous deaf dogs, which is a long time in a state of high tension.

• Difficulty In Rescuing

Once a deaf dog is lost or in danger, the dog owner can't guide them with their voice, and they can only rely on their eyes to search for them, which is inefficient, especially in unfamiliar environments or at night. 

• Social Misconceptions And Discrimination

Because deaf dogs do not respond to commands, they may be misunderstood by passers-by as "not well-trained" or "aggressive dogs". They may even be driven away or hurt, further increasing the risk.

How To Protect The Safety of Deaf Dogs 

• Professional Training

Conduct professional obedience training for deaf dogs, using hand gestures and tactile signals to give commands, such as tapping the legs to signal forward and gently pulling the collar to stop.
Train them to react to specific vibrations or light. You can also wear an electronic collar that can vibrate to alert you when danger is near and train your deaf dog's reaction to vibration.

• Equipped With Equipment

Wear a GPS collar or harness with reflective strips for deaf dogs to improve their visibility at night or in low-light environments; install a GPS dog tracker to facilitate quick positioning when they get lost and minimize the time when they are out of the owner's line of sight; 
You can use a special bell, and the owner can judge their location by the sound of the bell.

• Choose Safe Routes

Know the situation of outdoor venues in advance, and avoid dangerous places such as busy traffic roads, construction areas and wildlife habitats. Prioritize parks or trails that are quiet, well-closed and have fewer people.
