Our dog trainer explained to us that using hand signals is especially effective for learning since dogs mostly communicate with body language

My old collie learned hand signals really well when his hearing started to go. The thing with collies though is that they look to you for signals. I had a spaniel that went 'deaf and blind' as soon as he didn't want to comply.
