She slams everyone who trains their own hearing or service dogs. She doesn't know a thing about doing it herself, tailoring the dog the way she needs. I have and continue to spend countless hours training my dog, as it's an on-going process. I also have learned not to allow people to interfere with my training, nor will I allow them to tell me how to train her or test her. Sorry, that's off limits.  How hearing people have treated deaf people for centuries and now they want to be our best friends and even advocate for us is beyond my comprehension. I can see parents who have deaf kids or kids who have deaf siblings, but, the general population as a whole wanting to do it? Please, give me a break! 
LMM used to post here a lot regarding her hearing dog and she feels the same way. She is one of few people here with a hearing dog, besides me, that knows what they're talking about.
