How to teach sign language effectively?We Answered:
I am recently taking sign language in school, and we learn in a silent environment. What this means is, no one, not even the teacher is allowed to talk while class is in session. Then the teacher teaches little scenarios. Like 2 people meeting up on the street...Hi, How are you, whats your name, nice to meet you. and then going from there. Sign language is fun and I encourage you to keep up the good work :)BTW, our college uses the Signing Naturally workbooks, and suggests going online and looking up deaf events, and websites that help you practice.

Is it possible to teach a dog sign language?We Answered:
Dogs are very visual. It will not be hard to teach signs instead of commands. It is actually very common for dogs to learn non-verbal cues over verbal ones. As humans, we tend to make gestures we aren't aware of when we speak and dogs often pick up on that.Remember, dogs rely heavily on body language to communicate.
My Lab responds better to hand signals then he does to the command. Our working K9 is taught to obey hand signals or verbal commands for tactical purposes.
An e-collar would be a good idea. Many have a vibrate setting that you could use, but even a lower level stim would work.

In the fitting the e-collar article he describes how to find the working level on the e-collar, that is, the very first level the dog feels it, which is not painful
You could also email him. He will respond. He may have suggestions on dealing with a deaf dog and e-collar.
Edit- no TDs are from me, but e-collars are not painful if used properly. And every e-collar trainer suggests trying it on yourself first.
Please read the articles on the link I provided. They address myths and explain how to PROPERLY use the collar.
Many professional, experienced responsible trainers use e-collars. Police, Military and Search and Rescue included.
I have no idea how using the vibration setting on an e-collar to get the dog's attention when not facing you is a bad thing.

Where is a good site I can learn sign language to teach my 5 month old daughter?We Answered:
I would suggest going to your city's website because they might have some classes that you could take at the city hall or something. I live in atlanta and my brother is deaf. My mother took classes from the city to learn sign language.Carrie Said:
Why should we teach chimps sign language?We Answered:
It would be fascinating to know if there are other primates with the capability to use a verbal language. We know no other species have the vocal equipment to use spoken language. But what about a non-spoken language?I wasn't aware of any such effort with chimps. The only case I knew of was Koko the gorilla, who apparently really does take the individual signs she's learned and put them together in new and more complex ways. But some people don't believe that she's really doing that sort of higher level thinking.
