Many ask where to begin with training ASL to a deaf dog. 1. Determine what signs you want to use first! I always suggest the basics: Sit, Stay, Eat, Potty 2. Teach yourself the signs! (YouTube 😉) 3. As you feed your dog, take it potty, etc SIGN! There will be lots of blank staring in the beginning but it will get better! 4. Stay consistent. Sign everyday, all day, with the same sign language. 🫶🏼 4. Faith loved yummy treats, so use treats if you need to! I got her to sit with high quality, yum

One of Faith’s favorite signs is “DAD”! She goes nuts when she knows he’s home. I signed “dad” when my husband got home and after a few weeks, she caught on and learned that the ASL for dad truly meant him. #asl #signlanguage #deaf #communication #deafdog #dogsofinstagram #deafdogsofinstagram #dad #welcomehome #minnesota #fyp #foryou #doglover | Deaf Dog of MN
