Lesson Express
Q: Why does Luca’s owner use hand signals instead of words to communicate with him?
A: Luca is deaf, so he can’t hear spoken commands. Hand signals are a way for his owner to communicate with him, allowing Luca to understand what his owner wants him to do, like sit or give a paw.
Q: How does grooming, like brushing, help keep a dog healthy?
A: Brushing keeps the dog’s coat clean by removing dirt and loose fur. It also helps prevent skin problems and makes the dog feel more comfortable.
Q: Why is it important for Luca’s owner to clean up after him on walks?
A: Cleaning up keeps the area safe and clean for everyone. It prevents other people from stepping in the mess and helps keep the environment healthy.
