Deaf dogs will show which behavior when housed in a confinement where they cannot see activity?

• A. They remain calm and quiet
• B. They show increased appetite
• C. Startle easily and respond to vibrations or when someone waves arms
• D. They never bark

Answer: (C)

Deaf dogs rely on cues they can perceive with senses other than hearing. When they’re housed in a confinement with little to look at, they become especially attuned to non-auditory signals like vibrations and visible movements. A sudden vibration or someone waving their arms provides a detectable cue, so they startle easily and respond to those cues. The other options don’t fit as well because staying calm and quiet isn’t typical in the face of unfamiliar non-auditory signals, increased appetite isn’t a behavior tied to deafness or confinement, and deaf dogs can still vocalize, so saying they never bark isn’t accurate.
