Training Dogs with ASL

Just like Deaf people, Deaf dogs have a completely different mode of communication and sense of community. Sign language can be an amazing way to connect with dogs, and a fantastic learning opportunity for both you and the dog. These dogs can learn just as much as a hearing dog, but do require special love and a unique understanding of their differences. We here at Visually Speaking are animal lovers on top of our love for American Sign Language, so if you’re looking for information or lessons on how to connect with and teach your Deaf or hearing dog, don’t hesitate to email us! And next time you come across a Deaf dog, think about the amazing culture and learning you could exchange. Our four legged furry friends love ASL too!
