I taught my cocker spaniel sign language when she was young. She is 12 years old now and is going deaf. It helps a ton that she knows it already so she isn't being affected a lot by going deaf.
She knows....
Sit
Come
Stay
Down
Stand
Heel
Rollover
Shake
Take a bow (this is everyone's favorite trick)
Take (she can take any item that she can pick up in her mouth and I can also sign to her which direction I want her to go)
I've never thought of one for going potty. What do you do for that?
My border collie also knows some sign language and I am teaching my yorkiepoo as well. |
