Signal / Hearing Dogs were trained forty years later (1973), when a deaf woman contacted the Twin Cities Action News TV programme to attempt to find somebody who would be able to train a hearing dog for her. With the help of Mrs. Ruth Deschene, then executive director of the Minnesota Humane Society, with the help of board member Dick Lambert, found dog trainer Agnes McGrath and she began to train a dog. With financial backing from the local Minnesota Lions, Agnes trained the first six hearing dogs in Minnesota. Training the dogs to alert deaf / hard of hearing individuals to various sounds such as a baby cry, a telephone ringing, a doorbell, knock at the door, the person's name, beepers, alarms including smoke alarms, sirens, etc. as well as varius traffic sounds.Read More about Hearing Dogs
