Every Friday, the Fox 17 Morning Mix features an adoptable animal from the Humane Society of West Michigan, sponsored by Mike Morse Law Firm!
Adoptable Pet: Bubba Blue
Bubba Blue is four and half months old and loves cuddles, walks, and the park! He is also deaf!
Deaf dogs require more patience in training, and owners have found that using sign language commands can help in training.
Training Classes begin February 23
Speaking of training, HSWM's next round of training classes kick off Monday, February 23. Classes don't just address basic cues - they also teach owners about socializing, house training, chewing, barking, play biting, and other behavior concerns.
A respect-based approach with positive reinforcement is used.
