    tip for training down: if she stands back up while you are grabbing a treat, dont treat her. tell her to go back down and only give her a treat while shes down, common mistake.

      @Luc if you only treat during the appropriate action(not before or after), the trainee will learn fastest this way. If you say "down", then treat late during the sit...the puppy will start to associate the word "down" with the incorrect action of *sitting* because that is when it receives the treat. Even if in the long run the dogs gets it right, it can be an needlessly longer process sometimes confusing the dog and frustrating the trainer. In this case they all seem to be doing fine and very patient. For those with less patience, treating at the correct-exact action will cause less-zero confusion for the trainee and therefor a shorter easier process overall.

      At first you do want to treat. You actually want to treat for almost ANY movement towards what you've told them to do. You then get more and more strict as quickly as the dog will handle. Some dogs learn that you want them all of the way down very quickly, and will lay right now, others will pop back up for a while, and you have to try some other little tricks.

      No, I'm saying the dog is partially deaf. So of she's laying on her hearing ear or they aren't speaking in the direction of the ear, they're going to sign. I'm also not sure what the exclamation point is for, hopefully I didn't offend? I'm always open to new information.

    She's deaf in her left ear just like me! Deaf twins! You might find that she has problems localising you. So if you ever call her be aware of that - if you're letting her off the leash and she runs off and you want her to come back to you, its really important that you're always in her line of vision so she can use her eyes to make up for losing localisation ability. SO CUTE :D

    Its a good idea to have a marker "word." Like, as SOON as she does the command you are asking, you need to mark the behaviour. I can see that shes getting confused on what you ask her to do. A good one would be a thumbs up, again, you need to mark the behavior as SOON as she does it so she knows what shes doing right.

      @@bunnybleh3175 A treat is NOT a marker. A marker marks the SECOND the good behavior is done, and THEN you reward at least a second later. If you're the fastest handler in the world, you're never going to be able to shove a treat into a dog's mouth within one second of the desired behavior. The marker word/signal marks the very second you liked what your dog did, and that gives you time to then hand over the treat/toy. It's proven to be more reliable, with faster learning times, than any other method on the planet. There's a reason it's used on everything, from tigers to dolphins. :)

      its that but its also genetics that plays a vital role as well. for example, working german shepherds have a higher chance of stranger aggression than show german shepherds. why? that aggression is needed for their line of work and so the breeders select the best candidates to breed. same with pit bulls. most people own watered down versions of pit bulls. with pit bulls there stands a high chance of animal aggression due to 200 plus years of selective breeding. so yes, training plays a role but genetics overrides

    One of my dogs is deaf too! He was in training for be therapy dog, but he couldn’t pass first exams because he couldn’t hear. So we trained him as a therapy dog only for me and my ADHD but with sign language. He is so smart and he is doing good job. His character is perfect. Now he is 10 years old.

    Those ears are ADORABLE!!!!! 😍😍I'm so glad that you are standing up for Pitbulls 10:30 I have one and he is the goofiest big eared giant that you will ever meet (he also apparently looks like Dobbie) It might also be a good idea to get an Easy Walk or some other type of harness so that she learns to walk the right way (without pulling) before she gets too much bigger. Your arms will thank you later 😀

    My parents have 3 pit bulls and they are just big babies. They love to sleep next to you, lay in your lap, and are overall so sweet. It’s how a dog is raised which makes them aggressive and mean. But Java is so cute! I’m looking into adopting a deaf dog and I’m so happy to see y’all got one and I love seeing her understand sign language

    I’ve been an interpreter for 30 years. I’ve had 2 dogs during that time. I signed with both of them. BOTH of these little shits - I would be halfway through the sign for “sit” and they LOOK AWAY. I say (in English) “you saw me, and you’re hearing”…

    I have a pocket pitbull, the ones that don’t grow! And I taught her signs non verbal so I don’t have to yell things when we’re out in public but we used sign language as well and we have met a couple people who are partially deaf and speak sign language and they have been able to communicate with her and their expressions were the best! Coming from no one in my family being deaf we learned just so we can help as well as speak to anyone who is . Love your videos guys! ♥️

    Loooove! I adopted a dog who was already 4 and didn't know any commands from his previous home. I taught him commands and used specific gestures and words because I wanted us to still be able to communicate if he ever became HOH (which he did in his senior years). I also taught him to use his nose to find his treats in my hand by having him pick a hand (in case he would need to rely on that...he did develop cataracts in his senior years as well). He definitely taught me many non verbal commands as well! I love seeing Java's progress. She's so smart and good! AND THOSE EARS 😍
