best baby monitor for hearing impaired image
me
I have a family member on my husband's side that is hearing impaired (along with his room mate). They just got a puppy not too long ago (A yellow lab). The dog is ALMOST completely potty trained, but is having urination accidents every now and then in the house. The problem is the dog doesn't know how to tell the owners when it has to go.
Does anyone know a simple way to train the dog to either nudge or send a cue to the owner that it has to go to the bathroom? I've heard of the dogs ringing a bell by the door when they have to go....but that doesn't really help them when they can't hear it.
Also I guess the dog has a barking problem, but the owners can't discipline when she barks because they can't hear her.
Any hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!
Answer
For the potty training, have them pick up the dogs paw and hit their leg before leashing the puppy and taking it outside. This pup will soon learn that everytime it goes outside, it needs to hit the owners leg first. It is similar to the bell. You're training a behavior that produces a certain result.
With the barking problem, the only way to discipline is when they SEE her mouth moving like a bark. They can also use a baby monitor with the ligfhts, so they see when puppy is barking.

Fish has mercury in it which is really bad for your body, and can cause birth defects in children. While fish is good for you, you need to research which fish have the lowest mercury levels, and which fish are not endangered.
By the way, the guy talking about eating a can of tuna a day, don't listen to him. Tuna has one of the highest levels of mercury, and is dangerous to consume large amounts.
For fetuses, infants, and children, the primary health effect of methylmercury is impaired neurological development. Methylmercury exposure in the womb, which can result from a mother's consumption of fish and shellfish that contain methylmercury, can adversely affect a baby's growing brain and nervous system. Impacts on cognitive thinking, memory, attention, language, and fine motor and visual spatial skills have been seen in children exposed to methylmercury in the womb. Recent human biological monitoring by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1999 and 2000 (PDF) (3 pp., 42 KB, About PDF) shows that most people have blood mercury levels below a level associated with possible health effects. More recent data from the CDC support this general finding.
Outbreaks of methylmercury poisonings have made it clear that adults, children, and developing fetuses are at risk from ingestion exposure to methylmercury. During these poisoning outbreaks some mothers with no symptoms of nervous system damage gave birth to infants with severe disabilities, it became clear that the developing nervous system of the fetus may be more vulnerable to methylmercury than is the adult nervous system.
For more information on fish consumption advisories across the country, visit EPA's fish consumption web pages.
In addition to the subtle impairments noted above, symptoms of methylmercury poisoning may include; impairment of the peripheral vision; disturbances in sensations ("pins and needles" feelings, usually in the hands, feet, and around the mouth); lack of coordination of movements; impairment of speech, hearing, walking; and muscle weakness. People concerned about their exposure to methylmercury should consult their physician.
Hope this helps! I've included links to this information, and a link to a mercury calculator. The calculator will help you determine how much fish you should eat in a week by what kind and the amount.
Take care :)
