How Ivor the deaf puppy learnt sign language
A ten-month-old deaf Staffordshire puppy has been taught sign language by his new owner Ellie Bromilow. Ivor was given away by five previous owners because he couldnât follow instructions, but heâs now thriving under Ellieâs hand-gesturing-guidance.
Ivor has mastered âcomeâ, âsitâ, âlie downâ and âstayâ. He also knows the signs for âsomebodyâs at the doorâ.
Ellie says sheâs also tried to film him responding to the sign âwalkiesâ but says âhe just goes madâ.
