Deaf Paws like DPHHH, is a new social event for all deaf, hard-of-hearing, hearing and dogs to socialize. If you don't own a dog, that's okay, just come and meet old or new friends as well as dogs. HoustonDogParks are public parks designated and built specifically for your dog to socialize and exercise safely and off-leash. Now that we have enough parks to go around, the event will take place on the second Sunday of each month except when it falls on major holiday. Before you attend, please be sure to review the park rules and etiquette.
Edgar, I’m not sure about trainers in Houston for deaf dogs, but you may want to read their website or ask them for help at http://deafdogsrock.com/category/training-tips. In my experience, training a dog using sign language works well. May take some time, but worth while when your dog understands your command. Usually I teach one command at a time for about 5 min at least 3 times a day. Works well for me.
Good luck!

I just purchased a bullterrier and I believe she might be deaf are there any places in Houston that would help train at a low cost?
