The Deaf Dog
Network
The Deaf Dog Network is a group of people who want to help deaf dogs, wherever they are, whether they have experience of owning or training them, rescuing or fostering. As the network grows we hope to have lots more information and resources to share.

The Deaf Dog Network does not support any form of physical punishment in the training of dogs. We do not endorse training methods using tools such as check/chains, prong collars, squirting water, shock collars and the like. We approve and support modern, science based training methods used by great trainers & behaviorists

Most Dogs respond to signs better than voice commands
since they rely so heavily on Body Language.

Training deaf dogs is much the same as training a hearing dog. You lure the dog into the position you want, say the command and reinforce that with a treat with lots of praise. Only instead of a verbal command you are signing.
Lots of owners of deaf dogs still talk to their them as it feels more natural and some dogs may be able to read your facial expressions as you talk with the signs.
There is no set dog sign language, you can invent any hand signals you like for your dog to read it doesn’t have to be British or American sign language that is used by deaf people. When training your deaf dog it maybe a good idea to discuss with your partner or family the signs you would like to use so that you will all be working consistently with the dog. If you go on holiday you could take photos of your signs to illustrate what you do for the dogs carer while you are away. Its all about what works best for you and your dog.
If you are struggling to come up with ideas for signs why not have a look at our friends Rosie and Horus. Rosie is using nice clear gestures for Horus to read. Notice how her facial expressions also change for what she would like him to do. All dogs hearing or deaf read your body language.

Teaching Sign Language to Dogs who are not Deaf for things like sit, down, come and stay is useful in loud or crowded areas where one would normally have to shout or repeat several times due to distracting noises.
Much of communication is facial expression, body language, eye movement."My deaf dog often does things I want her to do before I even sign.
I talk to her as well..."
