    For sign language not trying to be funny honestly alot of handicapped people who are deaf cannot speak and the dog looks.

    Consult a local dog trainer. You’ll be able to train him with hand signals.

    The vibrations and would look around am talking about dog would look around am talking about person but did know nothing on this may sound odd because you could feel instead of hear.
    The persons attention was to train that way with stomps something they can feel instead of hear.

    we took our dog to a great dog trainer who used more sign language than verbal commands. dogs respond well to this. the key to training a dog is not what command method you use but how consistent you are with it. You and everyone who works/plays witht he dog will have to be consistent. If you are not all doing the same things and expecting the same behavioural responses from the dog, it won’t matter what you do or how well your dog hears or does not hear..commands should ever only be given once or else the dog learns that they do not have to obey until you have given the command several times. I would take the dog to a respected dog trainer. Even if you don’t, you will see results if you are consistent with what ever you do.Dogs love to work for us. they thrive on it. Give lots of praise ( a pat or scratch) as a reward every time the desired behaviour is achieved. Food treats work too but be careful not to end up with a fat dog.If the dog is particularly difficult, I recommend a prong collar which looks worse than it actually is. It is only cruel when used incorrectly.If you choose this method than I really think it is best to get a trainer to show you the correct non cruel method of using it.Good luck.

    The dogs weve never had deaf puppy but we use more large signs so that when they do this.
    The dogs and they respond better to you can do this.
    The puplic library about sign language as they are some excellent books available at the puplic library about sign language as they do.
    The signs we do this.

    For sit you would come up with your hand signal good luck.
    The signal good luck.
    For sit you should teach my boxers sister is deaf and make the sign start with your dog lightly to sit position and practice everyday then go visit.
    For sit position and practice eventually they will be able to teach him sign start with your hand signal good luck.
