Naughty deaf dog who couldn't be trained is finally brought to heel using SIGN LANGUAGE


A rescue dog was so badly behaved after being mistreated by drug addict owners that no one would keep him for more than a year.

But now Horus has become the star pupil at his obedience school after mastering 50 commands... in sign language.

The deaf mongrel was taken in by sign language enthusiast Rosie Gibbs, 30, who used Makaton - a basic form of sign language often used on children - to train him.

Five-year-old Horus is now a happy healthy pet and has memorised 50 commands including ‘sit’, ‘stay’, ‘pay attention’, ‘play’ and he has also been taught to open drawers.

He has even learned the signs for the names of Rosie and her family.

Not only that, but Horus has been awarded his bronze, silver and gold Kennel Club Good Citizen awards.

Poor dog sounds like he's been through a lot. Thank God someone finally figured it out. I wish him happiness and many milk bones.... :)
