In this episode, Emily talks to Dr Morag Heirs who is a Clinicial Canine Behaviourist and has a speciality in training deaf dogs and has canicrossed her own dogs for years.

Dr Morag, discusses how deaf dogs can do canicross with their owners through the use of tactile cues, and having the connection to the owner through canicross helps to build confidence in deaf dogs.
