On a recent drive I came across one of the most lovely horse-boarding centres I’ve seen in years. Tucked neatly away on a country side road but within a fifteen-minute drive to the city, this equine paradise had everything I could want for my horse… room to roam, shade, lots of lush green grass, large level paddocks, trails along with an outdoor and indoor exercise ring. The horses being boarded there were very healthy

Your challenge as the dog owner is to figure out how to best accommodate your dog’s reduced sensory capabilities. Do you need to change your environment to make sure your dog is safe?

For the hearing impaired dog, many simple commands such as “sit,” “stay,” and “stop” have sign language equivalents which will be helpful for them to learn.
