I never had an issue installing APKs on a pure Google phone . Is that a devicecarrier specific thing and not an overall Android thing ? <| sep |> I see . I ' m actually joining an engineering challenge or something , but no information was given regarding the challenge . Thanks ! <| sep |> No Naps was the nickname given time daps after he slept through the DreamHack Malmo qualifier <| sep |> Yep ! Training is pretty much exactly the same as a hearing , sighted dog . We do primarily positive reinforcement , the cues are just different . Pinkie , my deaf dog , is trained using onehanded versions of standard American Sign Language signs . I haven ' t counted recently , but she probably knows over a hundred signs at this point . We do obedience but I don ' t have the patience to compete lol , agility she knows the signs for all of the equipment and follows pointing , dock diving , and tricks . My favorite tricks that she does are speak and inside voice where she differentiates between a bark and a soft growl , and pet the baby where you can send her to pet another dog . I had a bad accident and spent some time in a wheelchair last year so she is also trained for some service tasks , like opening doors which I regret teaching her lol , she ' s too smart , carrying things , retrieving my cane , getting help , etc . The deafblind aussie is trained using touch cues . Two taps on her booty is sit , two on her withers is down , touch a foot for paw , pat her head for heel . She ' s limited in the dog sports she can do because the official rules don ' t allow touching your dog , but she practices on the agility equipment and likes to run off the dock . We ' re sort of working on nosework , but I have never trained nosework before so it ' s a lot of trial and error for me to figure out how to teach her things . She ' s an excellent tracker and she can find me in the woods from about 2 acres away , so I ' d love to do some search and rescue workshops with her . They interact really normally except that the deafblind pup can ' t read other dogs ' body language cues . She is pretty submissive and very friendly so it hasn ' t really been an issue . They play really rough , screaming and biting , but the Aussie can ' t chase so that ' s their only game . They are a perfect match though and they love each other to pieces . People always ask if the Aussie Bitsy relies on Pinkie , and the answer is not really . She uses her nose like we use our eyes , so she ' s very independent . Both girls are velcro dogs but IDK if that ' s the deafness or the breed . Bitsy has bad separation anxiety if she thinks she is stuck somewhere car , crate but if she ' s just in the house or yard or whatever she ' s fine . She is pretty much always touching me sitting on my feet , head in my lap , etc because she likes to keep tabs on me . Pinkie is my soul mate . She is super independent and not at all clingy but I am always in her line of sight . Sorry for the wall of text lol , but I think they ' re such interesting little beasts , and so misunderstood . Deafblinddeafblind dogs can be totally normal , awesome pets if you ' re willing to work with them and not against them . I have a blog that talks about their daily lives , feel free to message me if you ' re interested or if you have any more questions about them !
