They are such wonderful doggos. I swear, they learn to read your mind. Both of mine were so smart. We made up our own signs and they picked it up quickly. The longer you have them, the less you even need signs, because they will simply read your body language and expressions. However, if you don't like Velcro dogs, don't adopt a deafie.
