Trainer Sailor Ellis works with a dog named Chance to show how dogs learn through observation and body language, even deaf dogs. She demonstrates basic commands like sit, catch, and lie down using a chair. Ellis explains that dogs learn a great deal through watching, not just hearing.
This one's mine. Yeah. Our next act involves a special canine named Chance. And his trainer, Sailor Ellis. Let's see what Chance can do.
My name, my name is Sailor Ellis. I love animals. My talent is dog training. Today I'm going to be working with my dog, Tom, with my simple chair. Something interesting about dogs is that they understand a lot just by watching and observing. Did you know they are masters at body language? That is why dogs that can't hear can still be trained. I'm going to ask Chance to do something with those hands.
It's only one. Sit. Good girl. Eh! 10. 11. 12. 13.
Watch me.
1, 2, 3. Catch it. Down, down, and down. I just wanted to say a word about safety.
You should never hug a dog you don't know. Believe it or not, it can be really scary for them. If they did feel scared, they might nip or bite. So play it safe and never hug a dog you don't know.
Philipp Saylor! That's great. That was great.
