It’s what I needed
We adopted a pound dog. It took 3 days to realize she is stone deaf. She has responded to some hand signals ( or maybe it is the treat in my hand.) This has been a good tool for understanding Molly. She took several weeks to stop most of her anxious behavior. (Ah, she is normal.) As her personality unfolds, she surprises us. I may need a cheat sheet for signs. Many thanks for writing this.

Helps understand living with a deaf dog
I chose this rating because it was quick and easy read to help my family and I train our deaf dog. I really enjoyed how easy it was to understand, that she told some of her stories and she gave some easy quick signs to teach you and your dog. I would recommend this to anyone who has a deaf dog or looking at getting one or is even curious about them.

Very helpful
My dog had recently been diagnosed as deaf. I immediately looked for books and training blogs and videos to help me learn doggie sign. This book is a quick read with fun humor that made forget, albeit briefly, how depressing this situation is. The quick reference guide is great.
