How to Sign Dog In American Sign Language

Babies love the sign for doggie! Using this sign, baby can tell you about a dog she or he is seeing in a book, magazine, out in the yard, or simply if s/he wants to play with your dog!

This sign for dog is a simple sign. You basically tap your leg as if you are calling a dog. You may add the snap at the end, but your baby will most likely tap their own leg (or front thigh) several times in excitement (leaving out the snap part at the end).
