A Challenge
It was hard to train Karl because he was deaf. Joanne, Karl’s trainer, had helped three boxers become therapy dogs before she found Karl and had never taught a deaf dog. He required different training since he couldn’t hear commands.
The Solution
Joanne found a creative way to help Karl follow commands because she taught him American Sign Language. Therefore, she could sign his orders, allowing him to excel in his work because he knew what was required of him.
