So like...deaf people can drive?...like I legit thought you had to be able to hear police and such?
ILiekToCookAndBake
That face of sheer terror, when you realize as a dog, you will never be able to hear that you're a good girl.
callmerabbitfighter
Misread, thought it said "started using threats," could not see why this would be uplifting.

Neighbor had deaf Dalmatians that understood sign language! She'd sign "get off the couch" and they'd just look away.
CattMan
How do you get the dog to make hand gestures? ????
SonicBoomYourFamily
WHAT?
columbiatwin2
My white pibble is deaf, bonus doesn't wake up for every little sound, he's a good boy. Happy dog.

I know someone with three adopted deaf pit bulls. Once you show interest in one, people just keep giving them to you I guess

Don't dogs find hand signals easier to understand anyway? ==> http://imgur.com/user/Jamarce

My Springer was as deaf as a stump. Total shit as a guard dog. Best friend I ever had.

Heard about a dachshund, born w/o legs, tragic. Had no name, as owner said: He doesn't come when I call him anyway!!

I had a deaf dog, I don't know sign language, but we quickly learned our own language. Dogs are amazing.

TheDoctormoriarty
A lot of PitBull breeds are mixed breeds because places dont allow pit bulls but allow mixbreeds
AmadeusRay
People don't care if it's full breed or not. If it has some pitbull, then it's a concern. I'm a pitbull mix owner & finding apartments sucks
illidank
They aren't mixed so they get homes, they're mixed because they're so common and people don't fix their pets.

flirtynerd
Teaching my 3 dogs hand signals because they don't understand my toddlers comands. They are learning faster than they learned voice comands.
Showmeyourotters
I think so, but it does depend on the dog. My dog does better with signals, her sister does better w/ spoken commands. Training matters too
RaynWisp
My dog always responded to auditory signals about equal to visual ones. Snap your fingers or whistle and she'd be right on your heels.
TheSadCafe
We taught our lab/pit mix her commands with verbal and visual signals. Kind of thinking ahead to when she might lose her hearing.
TheJudgernaut
I taught my shih tzu hand signals in addition to verbal commands. He's better with the hand signals 9/10
ArmandoManatee
That was the same with my dog
Casswigirl11
Same for my Pomeranians mixes. Although they ignore my commands to stop barking...
ChihuahuaCommander
Taught my Commander the same way.
xxjabberwocky
Yeah I taught my westie verbal commands with accompanying hand signals. He always responds to hand signals with or without verbal now
crabbydotca
I don't doubt it! We taught my dog the hand signals in order to teach her verbal commands. Definitely makes it easier
freakinspiderm0nkeys
My dogs know that the peace sign means sit and wait. When I drop my hand, they are released from the command. Such good dogs
meleemaker
Yup. Both of my dogs are hearing but GF and I sign to them and they listen to that far better
ZOMGNO
Yup. My boyf used to train dogs. His ones always respond as I'm moving my hand to make the gesture, before i've even opened my mouth
FsImgur
He's trained you well then.
ZOMGNO
I'm not as well trained as those dogs yet :p we drive up to the gate, they see he is in the car and they sit. They're such angels!
DarthFluffyBottom
I use hand gestures too, haven't used voice commands in a long time (unless outside, like "come here")
stinkysteve
Yep!
geekoffury
Huh. TIL. Would've thought hand signals would be harder. Not sure why I thought that.
Showmeyourotters
Probably because for humans it's more natural to verbally communicate what we want from one another, rather than through gestures etc.
mercifulwombat
A lot of tricks can be taught by leading the dog with a treat. The motion becomes the command.
Vaelrynn
My dogs just picked stuff up, I never really taught it. Sit (1 finger up), lay down (flat hand facing ground) and high five (take a guess)
feryooday
My dog knows both. Hand signals just don't worth work a crap if your dog is 300m away unfortunately.
Lee1604
Yep, my smartass mix of two hunting dogs listens mostly when i use hand signmas instead of voice commands.
manofthewild07
Depends on the breed. Even with voice commands certain dogs respond to different ranges better than others.
LizardEnterprises
Yup. Dogs don't have a verbal language, but they do have body language. Sign language is closer to what they know.
jonestown
Woof!

I don't get it
TheBufferkiller
My dog does. Every command I have for him has a hand signal. Until this post, I didn't even realize I'd taught him that way.
TheBufferkiller
It just seemed the natural thing to do at the time.
Vaelrynn
My dogs just picked stuff up, I never really taught it. Sit (1 finger up), lay down (flat hand facing ground) and high five (take a guess)
Vaelrynn
high five standing both paws (both hands together), stay (flat hand facing dog), go there (point).. I just happen to do it instinctively..
Vaelrynn
Oh and 2 finger wiggle means dance. Our little pekingese did that for attention when she was young now she does it to make us smile. :D

I have a deaf dog. She is pretty much the same as a fully functional dog except she does't listen to anyone.

I imagine you have to be careful and keep her on leash anytime you're around traffic.

You implied there is a difference, bit then you described two things that aren't different.

My old boy (RIP) was deaf and arthritic. Until somebody DOWNSTAIRS dropped the tiniest scrap of something edible on the kitchen floor.

Shit. I think my wife is deaf. All these years and I never knew.

My wife is holding her sides after she heard me read your comment . She is decidedly not deaf.

I have a deaf cat. She wasn't always deaf. She's more skittish now. I have to bang on things around her to get her attention.
ilove2offroad
No wonder she's deaf and skittish now!!! I would be too if you always banged on things to get my attention!
jenw
She hides under the bed. I have to bang on the bed to get her to come eat breakfast. And she's skittish bc we have 5 cats and a dog.
aoifard
My dog pretends he's deaf sometimes, but by God does he know when you've put your fork down to finish a meal!

My dog is deaf too but She cannot be without another dog, she becomes very anxious and goes around in circles until she finds company.
ermahgerdawoman
My dog has selective hearing problems. He can't hear me call him but he can hear the treat bag rustle through closed doors.
pineapplepuppy
... does she bark like deaf-from-birth humans sound when they talk?
unlikelysuperhero
blaynbarbosa
I work with a deaf guy that goes to special elocution classes. He speaks so well but it's just a little off, clients ask what his accent is.
itsybitsyspider
I had a dog that became blind and deaf later in life, but somehow she still knew you were calling for her or patting your leg to pet her
jjjjn
So, exactly the same as my dog. She does what she wants.
Loy71
Oh no, how could that happen?
flyinspaghettimonster
Yeah, my pibble can hear everything except me telling her to get out of the kitchen while I'm cooking
CuppyCakesaplenty
I have the same issue...and when I'm in the laundry room
FirebirdNC
Yeah I figured out a while ago I am not the Alpha of the pack lol.
jjjjn
I went through that struggle w/her & she sees me as alpha male now. (Mostly centered around who sat in my chair.) My wife...still not.
CaptainAsshat
Most likely poorly trained then. Dogs are not like cats.
AerosDrawings
I was gonna up vote this comment, but it's at 666 and I don't wanna ruin that.
WholesomeRuler
Might not be your fault depending on when you got her, but dogs are domesticated. If you're consistent in your actions you can train them.
jjjjn
I am & we have the basics down. She's an adult adoption (history unknown) & she's a breed known for being strong willed.
jjjjn
She definitely has some stuff in her past that we've been working out and she is a sweet dog. Just gets her mind set on stuff sometimes.
NoBeardTheIrate
Yeah we have a 5yr. Old husky X who mysteriously forgets his name and is an escape artist. He loves us but hates rules.
jjjjn
Ours knows her name, looks back over her shoulder, then trots on to check out what caught her interest. Then she'll come back, satisfied.
aerofoil
So, a cat.
Sirbannock
So, a cat.
jjjjn
Come to think of it she never has cared for belly rubs. Prefers behind the ears scratching. So.... maybe.
AlwaysTakeABananaToAParty
My cat comes when i call her. She then whines loudly until I point out that there's still food in her dish but I like to think she likes me.
bread1
So, a wife.
ikbenlike
Cats can navigate by listening to things, which is pretty cool.
BerserkQuatch
Yah! Like when mine navigates the opposite direction when she hears me calling her back inside!
ikbenlike
Indeed, cats are good at that, regardless of how good they can see
ChickenChickenBurningBright
I have a cat with fully functioning hearing, verified by thunder and treat bag opening who may as well be stone deaf when I give commands.

mine does high-five if I bribe him first
littlepenguinologist

PrincessNakedMoleRat
I have a Maine Coon, so basically a very furry orange dog. He knows his name and comes running when you call him, and begs for belly rubs.
ChickenChickenBurningBright
I have another cat who, if I acknowledge his presence in any way, runs out of the room. He was born and raised in my house. Bastard.
