Sit! The Queen's skills as a dog handler is renowned. She using hand signals and whistle to control her Labradors I know that American English does differ from English English, but ... perhaps not this much!

Your sense of proper grammar is impeccable.
Of course in proper King's English that sentence shall be had as "She be done use hand signals and whistle to control her Labradors".

I know that American English does differ from English English, but ... perhaps not this much! I had a friend who trained his dogs with both verbal commands and hand signals. He said he did this so he could maintain a conversation with the neighbors without stopping to command the dogs. The dogs knew both, and obeyed very well.
