Touch commands are going to be your best friend throughout the life of your new blind and deaf dog. The name explains it all, but I will talk more about how you do it. You must have treats! Those treats will also be your best friend throughout the life of your new dog! Next is to decide where you want to touch to let the dog know what you want to do. I have trained Youwho that a tap on the rear means sit and a tap between the shoulders means lay down. There are no stays or come commands. Those are the first two basic commands your dog should know. So, it is very simple. You tap your dog's rear and then use treats to lure the dog into a sit. Repeat these actions 10 minutes each time throughout the day(s) until your dog has it. Only do around 10 minutes of training, as you don't want to overwhelm your dog. You do the same thing with down. So, you tap between the shoulders and then lure the dog with treats to a down position. Those are the two basic commands your dog should know.
