a Hearing Dog Training Program

Diamond Dogz of Arizona in Phoenix is a 501-C3 non-profit organization which was created to provide training and certification to hearing service dog teams for those that are deaf or hard of hearing.  

Hearing Dogs alert their owners to important sounds both in the home and in public. Sounds may include the door, phone, dropped items, name being called, fire alarm, running water, approaching people/cars, etc.  Hearing dogs alert their partner with a paw touch or nose nudge to get their attention and then run  to the location of the sound.  By carefully observing a dog's body language (ears, direction of head, etc.), a hearing dog user is alerted to many environmental sounds.
