I read in another post that you suspect one of your pups is deaf.  My son trained his deaf  Dogo Argentino with hand signals.  He does have her wear a vest type thing that announces that she's deaf and please no sudden movements or something like that.  Anyway, if you have questions with the training, let me know.  I think he did a power point presentation at school about the training.

Thanks so much!! We do use some hand signals with our dogs, so hopefully it won't be to difficult. She is doing pretty well so far. It is helpful that we have adult dogs that she can learn from also. But it will present a training challenge. Id love to see his powerpoint if he has it!

I'll check with him. 

You're lucky that she does have the adults to emulate.  Sleven and her sister were just pups when he got them so all she had to emulate was my son and that ain't good

Bless you for taking these puppies on.  Are these the parvo pups?  I wanted to read thread in Chit Chat but I didn't have the heart, so I'm glad it turned out well.

Yep. These are the famous parvo pups. : we rescued them from a backyard breeder ay 6 weeks. And by 6 1/2 weeks, they tested positive for parvo. We spent the next 9 days giving them subcutaneous fluids, med injections, and forcefeeding them food and water every 23 hours. That, combined with just snuggling them pretty much 18 to 22 hours a day got them both through.
