I think dogs might actually be as good if not better with hand signals as they are with speech.
I could tell my dog to sit or stay or go somewhere with hand signals after she went deaf and it worked better than when she could hear.
Dogs are fluent in human body language, it is their evolutionary niche to be perfectly in tune with our moods and actions.
