Touch Signs for Blind and Deaf Dogs
| If the pup has some vision, you can use some sign language also. Below are some touch signs I use with Toes and Marco; you can add more and make up your own. Remember it is important to be consistent with the signals. You’ll find they learn very quickly! |
- PAY ATTENTION…..Touch on shoulder or back
- TURN RIGHT OR LEFT…..Touch right or left shoulder
- COME FORWARD…..One finger rub forward under chin
- GOOD BOY/GIRL…..Thumbs up sign pressed on side of face
- SIT…..Touch rear end above tail
- LIE DOWN…..Touch between shoulder blades
- GET DOWN OR OFF…..Hand flat on top of head
- QUIT DOING THAT…..One finger across top of nose a few times
- STAY…..Hand flat on chest
- STOP…..Hand flat on nose
