I am getting better with sign language. This is the look of a calm, 7-month old, deaf puppy soaking up 80F winter sun
Instead of pacing and searching for family members, Geo quickly understood my signing family was doing errands and using restroom.
Day by day, find and celebrate joy

@ai6yr many dog guardians use hand signs as you know. I'm blending ASL, homemade, and traditional training signs. Very very basic.

@ai6yr @kellyromanych Yes, you can. 🙂
My dog understood "food, bathroom, outside, play, coffee, sit" all in signs.

My last dog went deaf in her final years and I used hand signals to communicate with her. It wasn't anything like ASL, but still quite effective. I've learned that dogs respond well to such signals if one is patient and consistent.

@bruce I would expect anyone fluent in ASL would get a hearty giggle seeing my communication with Geo.

@shadow @ai6yr @kellyromanych I had my dog up to 46 voice and hand gestures he could choose to ignore.

@bruce when I was stringing together the signs, Geo stared at me as if the thought bubble above his head was...hold on, slow down, sign it again mom :)

@Microplastics101 wow, 46 signs would be a dog novel for me :)

@Microplastics101 @ai6yr @kellyromanych Mixing voices w signs helps. My dog isn't deaf, I am, so gradually try to mute myself as time goes to see if he understood signs with no voices at all except for calling his name. They are better trained when little, takes more time as adults but as long as they are given a treat. 😁

@shadow @ai6yr @kellyromanych dogs are very good at visual cues. I liken it to being in a country where you dont understand a word of language. You start looking for clues and context in detail. You grab your keys and the dog knows you are going out. Thats easy. Subtle changes in posture can also signal it. Dogs pick up on the slightest cues. Preface a command by slapping your leg so he/she pays attention to you.

one of our dogs could hear shoes being laced up in the other room, right before going out for walks.
I thought at first it was another clue, like springs on the bed squeaking when sitting to put on shoes...
(finally got some slip-ons for when I had to go out, but didn't have enough time for dog walks) -

@shadow @Microplastics101 @ai6yr @kellyromanych it’s great to train them with both voice and hand commands. :)

@kellyromanych Geo’s enjoying that sun. Coming along in leaps and bounds 💚 joyful indeed.
Being deaf has its pluses too. A lady opened up the world’s noisiest umbrella as we walked past her yesterday. Even made me jump and spooked Ernie briefly.
How many signs are you and Geo up to now? He’s a clever boy.

I wake up and silently tried to sneak tiptoe without making any noises before brewing for coffee... he was already awake and waiting for me. "How?" I said. I figured it was the bed squeaking that he knew I was awake. Every single time. 🤣

@kellyromanych
If the dog isn’t looking at you, how do you get its attention without startling it?
I had a deaf elderly cat and was constantly startling the poor thing accidentally. 🐈⬛ -

@Broadfork gosh, I think we're up to 25 signs or so. Most used daily. We *talk a lot* :)
I can understand getting taken off guard with a noisy umbrella. Both the sound and the visual movement.
Pets to Ernie!!
