My white male APBT is deaf. (Command Training)

I have a male APBT that I have owned since he was 7 weeks old. He is solid white and was born deaf. He has one blue eye and one yellow eye which I think is pretty cool. I have owned and trained three German Shepards very successfully but training Gandalf was very different. You have to use hand signals and hand commands to train the dog properly. It was harder for me than it was for him.You have to rethink the whole approach in traning. I used more toys than treats to keep his attention and it has been very rewarding for both of us. The intelligence of this breed never ceases to amaze me.
