Communication Comes In All Forms
Dogs can learn to communicate with humans in truly incredible ways. There are, of course, verbal commands that dogs learn very quickly. But, dogs can also be trained to understand hand signals as well. This pet parent learned that as a happy accident when they were training their puppy.
This person talks with their hands a lot, and they soon realized that their puppy was taking cues from their hand signals. As the puppy grew into an adult dog, he learned to respond to both verbal and hand commands. This person even says that sometimes sign language works better than saying a command out loud, which we think is pretty cool.
