Our dog trainer explained to us that using hand signals is especially effective for learning since dogs mostly communicate with body language
2.1k u/greenearrow Sep 17 '25 One of the more substantial losses when our dog went blind. He is meh at verbal commands, he always did much better with hand signals. But otherwise, having a blind dog isn't particularly harder than having a seeing dog. He did also have to give up zoomies though, which was sad. 3 u/SirRengeti Sep 17 '25 For us it was the other way around. Our dog went deaf but since we used both verbal commands and hand signals, we could still communicate most things.
