Dogs Can Sign Too: How to Teach Your Dog to Communicate with Gestures

A new book, Dogs Can Sign, Too, says your dog can learn sign language--not just to understand your signs, but to sign to you too.

I have not read it (yet; I wish it were available on the Kindle so I could get a sample chapter), but here's the product description:

If you’ve ever wondered what dogs would tell us if they could, now you can find out. The K9Sign system teaches dogs to communicate to us–making it a first in any dog training book category.

Dogs Can Sign, Too is the first book dedicated exclusively to the K9Sign system for teaching dogs to communicate to their human companions using a vocabulary of gestures.

This extraordinary education tool, developed by the creator of AnimalSign Language exclusively for the canine community, teaches people and their pets a unique mode of communication that employs an extensive lexicon of specific signs. Sample signs range from general concepts, such as “Food” or “Play” to identifying special treats, such as “Liver” or “Cheese” and specifying a favorite toy, such as “Ball” or “Frisbee.” Signs also include useful questions such as “Who’s that?” or “What type?” to naming a particular friend or family member, or even indicating a stranger.

The author's website, Animal Sign, has reviews, videos, a blog, and more.

Dogs Can Sign, Too is available in the CDOG Book store under Health & Behavior.

I, for one, am curious . . .
