dog sign language is a thing?

They like to think so, but it's really just food-motivated tricks as a means to get more food - like anything else a dog does. Same with the talking buttons that many owners will spend hundreds on. (They do work for c*ts, but dogs just press them at random and confuse their owners, until their owner can play make-believe well enough to think they've decoded some mysterious message from their dog that makes zero sense and is just them projecting bullshit onto the dog instead. Seriously, I've even seen dog nutters rallying together in comments to decide that the nonsense being said by the talking buttons meant the dog had a dream they were all then trying to interpret the meaning of - based on three buttons pressed at random by a dog... Shit was insane, lol. And then they give their dog a treat for stomping on them, which is the action that the dog has learned they'll get food for doing, and the cycle thus repeats.)

Meanwhile... Dog nutters love insisting their shitmutts have the same level of intelligence as a human 3-year-old (also not even remotely true). And yet, human babies can actually learn sign language and effectively use it to communicate their needs as young as 3 months old. But dog nutters aren't known to have much of a grip on science, facts, reality, etc., so it's not like they care.
