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
