He's Getting Deaf and Won't Listen: Communicating with a dog who can no longer hear you

He's Getting Deaf and Won't Listen is a practical, compassionate guide for the owner of an aging dog who has lost most or all of their hearing. It begins at 2 a.m., with a smoke alarm test the dog slept through, and the owner's panic about how to wake or warn a dog who cannot hear danger. From there, it rebuilds communication from the ground up using vibration, hand signals, light, and touch, and shows how to adapt the home, the outdoor routine, and emergency plans. The book is force-free throughout, never recommends aversive methods, and never promises that a behaviour will resolve or gives a timescale. It sends the reader to a veterinarian first for any sudden change in behaviour, because pain often presents as behaviour, and routes growling, biting, or dog-and-child situations to a veterinarian and a qualified, force-free behaviourist. It does not diagnose, does not name medications, doses, supplements, or diets, and does not shame an owner for their budget, housing, rehoming, or a euthanasia decision taken on veterinary advice. Written under the pen name Ingrid Paloma, it is a calm, honest companion for a difficult and tender chapter of life with a dog.
