Addison cues off the other dogs for general statements. She also usually lays somewhere so when I get up my feet touch her or I have to step over her to get out of a room. She also watches my body language. She knows when I'm sad and comes over and lays her head on my knee. If I'm mad she knows. She also knows a lot of ASL signs and I use the lights to cue her if she's not looking at me (like turning off the porch light means come in the house..or I'll flick the living room lights).
