Signal / Hearing Dogs were trained forty years later when a deaf lady approached Agnes McGrath, a dog trainer, at a kennel in White Bear Lake and with the help of the local Lions, Agnes trained the first six hearing dogs in Minnesota.
The International Hearing Dog Inc. was the first in training dogs to alert those with a hearing impairment 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 various traffic sounds.
Because of the quality of its program, IHDI was chosen to provide training for Japan’s first hearing dog program. More than 1 in a half million of the 23 million deaf or hard of hearing (H.O.H) individuals in the USA and Canada could benefit from such a dog.
