You ROCK! I've been reading Lend Me an Ear and trying to teach my 15 month old pup to alert. He only knows to go to the sound so far. But now that I saw your video, I can't wait to try this with him. My biggest challenge is that I live alone and not many visitors, so no helper. :aw:

I was searching for info on hearing dogs while reading "Lend Me an Ear", and found Pek1's rant from 2005. If you're reading this, you and I have a very similar attitude Pete. I only have moderate hearing loss, which of course makes it hard to call myself disabled. But it is not easy living...
