I just recently adopted a 10 year old dog and she's deaf. What do we do if she just backs up instead of sitting when doing the hand motion to tell her to sit. She sat once and i gave her a treat but now she's not doing it. 😢

I really appreciate this video, thank you so much. I taught my old man (12 yrs old, lg breed) basic hand signs as a puppy. But now he’s going deaf and can only hear you if you are close to him. I want to teach him most of these signs now. And if we get a new puppy I want to teach them just for the reason of my old man.

Wow I needed to see this but a lil slower. Where did you learn this ? I’ll try n slow the video down. I’m losing my hearing n my puppy im thinking selective or certain tones or whatever. I’m having that problem. 😢

Thank you! We’re in Allyn, Washington and have heard them the past couple nights

Definitely a killdeer. I hear them all the time. Merlin is a great app for IDing birds. I rather enjoy using it. It has an awesome sound ID feature that will identify birds by sound. That's how i first figured out what this sound was, and how i can recognize the call of a California scrub jay from a block away.

Loved this!! Rocket lived a FULL life:)

It’s March 2024 and am listening to the exact same thing as I type this. It won’t stop, all night long. I live on the coast.

It's a killdeer. They got their name because of this particular call that they make, since to some people it sounds like they're saying "kill deer" over and over. I would say that it's actually very unlikely that the killdeer itself is stressing your domestic birds out. It's a lot more likely that a predator is setting off both the killdeer and your flock. This is a killdeer that's been startled, so something alarmed it and made it react, and that same critter is likely bothering your domestic birds as well. Could be rats, weasels, raccoons, or something bigger. There's a lot more activity at night in the Spring and Summer than in Fall and Winter. Predators are more active, and so are other nesting birds, insects, etc. It makes even animals that can't see at night, like domestic fowl, a lot more restless and wary. I grew up in an area where killdeer nested in every single grassy field, so it's a super familiar night noise for me. If they're startled, they'll fly or run away making this call. They also use it to distract predators from their nest, so if they think you're going to find it, they'll run a little way away and pretend to have a broken wing, drooping it and kind of limping along. They want any potential predator to follow them, thinking they're an easy target. They'll keep running away, only just out of reach until the predator is far enough away from the nest and then take off and fly to safety.

I hear this every night in Spanaway in summer and spring. I'm very interested in finding out what bird this is. Just heard it a couple minutes ago, Any updates??

I wish more people responded to this. It's definitely not a bat and I've been wondering the same thing .

Bats?

Awesome 😂

I wish you would do asl lessons. I’m fascinated with asl.

Definitely a Killdeer!

That's a Whipporwill

How do you traim it tho

Great video. I know pretty limited ASL, some of these phrases will be really useful. Thank you.

2 dogs abandoned found and adopted us. Boy < 12wks, girl~1 year. Will train using your ASL suggestions. Thank you!

How do you sign leash?

You are awesome!! Thank you so much!!

How do I sign my boys name? His name is Chico.

Thank you soo much just now taught 1st lesson and he learned real quick to look at me and sit!!! 3 to 5 minutes!! Life saver!! He's 4 months old and can't hear..

I discovered my service dog 'RIP' withib a year was deaf. I knew a few ASL signs. My vet was not helpful.

Thank You for sharing, I use hand signs with my dogs,they can get distracted when We are outside trying to tell them something and I want them to concentrate on what I’m telling them. So they will see that additional I’m trying to tell them something, talking with my hands..it comes a bit easy to me because I’m Italian too!! LOL👍❤️

Thank you for making this super informative video! ♥️🐶🐾

I adopted a female deaf Australian Blue Heeler a few months ago she was abandoned 2 times and I knew I wouldn’t abandon her. I had a couple surgeries and just now I’m ready to start training her she is 1 1/2 years old do you think she is still young enough to train all these signs to her. They said that she knew a few hand signals but I have tried them but she doesn’t really respond. They were using the number one sign for sit and all she would do is back up for me. She is VERY reactive and protective and also a bite risk. I need to work on her not bolting after people she doesn’t know and biting them. She has bitten when someone she didn’t know just walked into our home which we did not tell her it was wrong because this person was not supposed to be in our home but she has pushed the door open when a relative didn’t latch it and chased a neighbor down and grabbed her pant legs. I don’t want her to be put down for biting someone it’s my greatest fear but I don’t want her sequestered to the house because she might bite someone. This poor baby was abused and I think that is why she is this way but she deserves a chance at life. I went to look at muzzles to buy and it broke my heart just looking at them. Any advice you can give me I will be grateful for thank you for this video 💜🐾

Trying to learn a new language is hard and I can't seem to find a good partner for practice, language requires constant practice which is why, I imagine I've never actually succeeded. Hopefully, because I also need to focus more on my pet's training too I can do a little bit of both and at least become practiced with a few and get a good base started.

Thank you, my healthy 13 year old dog suddenly lost her hearing. This is very helpful

I'm so excited to find this site! My husband and I will be getting a deaf Australian Labradoodle in 2 weeks. We just heard about her 4 days ago and are so into experiencing the world through this puppy. I know she will teach us A LOT!!! Thanks so much we will have your video on "SPEED DIAL"!

Thank you for your time to show me helpful hints to get me started. If you can reply....... id love to know what your sign for treat really is??? I cant find it. AND My puppy sitter has good questions 🤔😁

Thank you

It works on hearing dogs to

Didn't get much at all from this. Next video...

Thanks!

please show signing a little slower for those of us learning signing for the first time. Signs like “no” , “stop” “stop biting other dog”, “ leave other dog alone”,

Do you have a page or group

We just adopted a deaf Akita/Pit Bull mix neutered male, almost a year and half old. Been with us 2 days. Good temperament, little stubborn, or just not interested in looking at us for information (signs). We got him and he only knew SIT & COME. I'm sure there will be a huge adjustment period learning new signs, tricks, skills, rules, etc.

wow

What a great tributes to not only Dottie , but to all of your fur babies. Hugs to you and your family...

I AGREE...Ive never been a flower person anyways...much prefer to help a non profit rather than spend money on flowers or keepsakes. ;) Love and hugs to you and your family...

How did you teach them their names?

Hey there! I'm getting a puppy in May and I'd like to teach her ASL. I have degenerative hearing loss and require hearing aids currently. Crowds and anywhere noisy is difficult for me to interpret what's going on in conversation around me so ASL is very helpful. I want to know if it was difficult to teach your dogs sign language and also, is it possible to teach both English and ASL at the same time? Thanks

Thanks for this video.

The best thing I've ever done in my entire life.

My dog isn’t deaf, but I work with children with special needs & disabilities, so I’ve chosen to teach myself some ASL anyways and decided to use it with him while training. Thank you so much for this video, you’ve helped me learn a few new signs I can add to the ones I already knew!

It would be nice to find a sign language for 8 week old puppys its allways for growthing dogs.. so I have to be on the floor..low to teach ..which means he is distracted.. I should be able to teach early.?

actual ASL! our dog is hearing but our son is not :) we'll use snack for treat/you use special. heel! we'll use the sign for dog LOL. stop/enough. calm down for us is hands thumb to chest other hand thumbs at bottom of ribcage, palms facing down, pulse in a calming pace and visual in out breath. we do 'come' with both hands, pointer fingers out and jutting in to space requested. Dance sign is so fun! Thank you for this video! you have great ASL knowledge!

I wonder if my dog has a name sign. He's a shelter dog.
