Peabody is the latest addition to our family and she's turned out to be pretty special. We quickly discovered that Peabody is completely deaf when she failed to respond to voice commands in training as a puppy. So we have been training her using hand commands and sign language. She's learned so many things and it's awesome to see. That being said, we do have to make special efforts to make sure she feels safe and it's been a whole other experience having a dog with such specific needs
