Deaf puppy learns sign language

An eight week old puppy was found to be deaf and it owner has been teaching the puppy sign language. This clever dog has since learn to sit, drop and come forth by recognizing it owner hand sign.

"Dogs understand your body language, your hand gestures, they read all of that. They know," Liz(Owner) comments.

"Consistency is the key to training any dog but you have to emphasise it more with a deaf dog. You've to train them in a different way, they train quicker than a hearing dog as there are no noise distractions."

In order to get the attention of her four deaf dogs, one of the techniques that Liz uses is to squirt them with a little water bottle.

She adds: "I want these dogs to have a fantastic life, and I know they can do it."
