Dogs are especially known to respond to signs. I had a dog team for many years and used signs with them to control the 120-140 lb Malamutes I called my family. |
Raising them from pups,
I watched them grow into mature giants. But they were always little pups in my mind.
They responded to signs very well. (I would never sign to them when running the team, unless we stopped).
The Malamutes were so powerful that I only had to run three at a time to pull me and whatever gear I had for miles and miles…I got tired before they did.
