Gimmie paw has been the hardest thing to teach AC. (years) HE GETS IT!!!
#DeafDog
context: The sign for SIT is a gimmie five with a chefs kiss 🤌 / palm up 👌
Full open palm was hard to read.
Not yet!
😹😹😹😹
Glorious indeed!
Barry.
Found the leader. He has no shame.
Owen Wilson, the Labradoodle with legs as long as a giraffe next to a statue of a giraffe. They are both hanging their head at the same angle.
Two giraffes. One pose.
Four dogs forming a circle. Waiting on the fifth.
Oh snap.
They’re forming a treat summoning circle.
That’s it! 🏆

Uno, gato en el armario.
Fire season is going to be big and bad. Sad face.
Gotta love the PNW (and adjacent land locked states).
A blue T-shirt with critters that says we’re all in this together… Like hostages.
Barry’s sofa hostages! (toys n fluff n stuff that he stores under the sofa.)
THEY MADE A SHIRT FOR BARRY!!
A lot!
Owen! That’s not a snowflake. It’s paper.
First big snow of winter in SE Idaho. Still coming down. The weather app said it would be 53°F and sunny when I checked it last night. 😹🤷♀️

It’s their language ❤️🔥💜
I’m more than happy to teach you sign language. Marla and I both treat train and then treat wean. She would have the expertise with verbal commands.
😹😹😹
You’re creating a language bond and giving the dog a job. Dog love jobs.
You have the advantage of hearing so work on come and sit. Say the words, do the sign. Use a treat pinched in your finger/thumb 🤌 . They see that. They read the gesture.
Sit = gimme five with a French kiss . other 3 fingers are flat.
Lay down = flip sit over.
Place = hang loose 🤙
Stay = 👊
I use the Sign language. With Anderson being 1/2 blind and deaf I had to teach him to look at me all the time. I was a treat machine. “come here” is Palm up , four fingers wave towards you. Treat train then treat wean.
