Service Angel Percie You are the best person ever💖

luv u both 💕 hope u are doing well🌿

Me too It is all very well buying a “ pretrained” alert dog but most disabled people are on low paid jobs or on benefits so we must self train. I am getting a new puppy on Saturday to train as my new assistance alert dog.

Thank you for watching! I hope it helps you in your journey :)

Thank you so much for watching my videos, I hope you enjoy them! And if your issues do, I hope this works out for you!

Thank you for watching, I'm glad it was interesting!! And thank you :)

Oh thank you so much! I am really happy this helped. :)

This is so sweet of you! Thank you! And good luck with your sdit. :)

Thank you so much! I'm glad it was helpful! :)

Von Bear K9 This honestly just made my day! Thank you so so so much for your kind words and support💛. I’m not a professional by any means, I have just learned from an array of amazing trainers! I will certainly keep fighting the stigmas!

Well i speak the blunt honest truth, so im not buttering you up. Since earlier i dove into alot of your videos. So much of what you say in your videos is exactly how i train/live. I mean its almost like we have the same philosophy, or the trainer who helped you does. Which means he/she is very good at what they do, which also means that you took the time to find a good trainer. In another video you mentioned that you get tired of people approaching you and saying what a pretty dog.Oh boy... I am a disabled veteran with a spinal injury. So i can relate. Its gotten so bad, that my wife will just walk away when strangers approach in a store because she knows ill be held up for 10 mins while the stranger chats me up. The way i got involved in service dog training was very organic. My service dog is named Mountain. I had a very hard time standing up, and have very bad muscle spasms. My Mountain was essentially charity, and he changed my life so much that i paid the trainer to shadow him, so i could help other veterans. I mean now, I can walk around the block, am off pain meds, and I never got the second surgery the surgeon was pushing on me. Service dogs are so amazing when they work, and its getting worse and worse out there. I dont know if you have noticed the movement on tv news(mainly the airport cases), but i feel that has directly made it noticeably worse. I just love it when the hostess of a restaurant asks to see my "certification". Like even if certifications where actually a thing, would i really have to show it to the restaurant hostess? Seems a bit much.

Of course! Thanks for watching!

I'm so glad it was helpful! Let me know if you have any questions :)

Wesley the Service Doodle i will💞

Thank you! And thank you for watching!

AlwaysSleepy We love you too❤️

shelby j I think this works for seizures too, I know they use this method for company training diabetic alert dogs so I think it’s a solid all around method.

The unscented sample is a plain cotton ball, reward when your dog alerts the scented sample and don’t do anything when your dog rewards your unscented sample. Hope this helps! 😁👍🏼

Thank you! He was about 6 months :)

I absolutely love your video and will look for more. I am planning to buy a puppy and train it myself as a Diabetic Alert Dog because I cannot afford one that is already trained. I have type 1 diabetes and get no warning of hypoglycemia. I pass out regularly and sometimes I will sustain an injury. Can you give me an idea of what is a good age range to start the training? If I get a very young dog then I will have to potty train, basic command train, and scent train. This will be very time-consuming. What do you suggest?@@wesleytheservicedoodle1047

I am sorry, I am not sure if it will work with that! I know there are allergy detection dogs and I am assuming they are trained using the scents but I do not know enough to be sure. I am sorry!

Bridget Mineck I don’t know what she gives Wes, but I have a goldendoodle who used to have really bad stomach issues and we now feed him performatrin ultra grain free. We also give him a spoonful of pumpkin to settle him.

Hope this helps but I also have POTS and I'm working on training my dog with the scent samples ONLY when I get an unnatural HR increase, so when I stand up basically and it increases that way, instead of exercising and then getting the sample. I don't know tons about this but I'm sure there are lots of other scents conflicting with the heart rate increase scent that would confuse your dog, and you could get a dog that alerts only when you're working out or exercising instead of a real POTS alert. Hope that helps :-)

Katie s if he were to alert to the unscented that means he is confused and you need to take a few steps back and correct him. Try breaking your steps down a bit more, try switching up the containers so he isn’t alerting to shape. If that doesn’t work it means he doesn’t under stand your training. To fix this you can retry training the alert as well as retraining the sniffing and treating for just sniffing and then apply the alert after a few sessions.

Use your saliva scent, it’s connected to all types of blood parts, so your heart included! 😁👍🏼

Saliva is one of the best ways to do it. You can soak a cotton ball with it or swab your gums really thoroughly. For elevated heart rate get to a point you want them to alert (a bit before you get extremely elevated so that you get warning, but not too low that you are getting false alerts). You can get several samples depending on how long your episodes last.

Thank you guys. I'll give it a try some day

I don’t know your full situation and how possible it could be but when you have a seizure could someone else possibly swab the inside of your cheek?

I'm in no way an expert, but I would say you could probably really benefit from a service dog for the types of issues you're having. Among the "best service dog breeds list" are Poodles, Labrador Retrievers, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Labradoodles & Goldendoodles, and Pomeranians, although any dog can be a good candidate if trained properly and if it has the right personality traits for service work. You may also want to have your own dedicated dog for yourself if you really need a service dog, to increase your chances of success. Best of luck!

Peighton Rose I believe that would still kind of count as medical alert? My dog does anxiety/ panic attack alert, and we’re working on migraine and asthma alert. But even before these I counted him as medical alert.

@@AlternativeCowgirl Okay, thank you! I just wanted to make sure not to mislabel him or anything. Your puppy is beautiful by the way! I just secured mine this week :D

Peighton Rose that’s great! If you guys make an instagram feel free to reach out (we’re @HandsomeBoyEros)! We’d be glad to help you out w training if you ever need it! 💕

No that is an interruption because your breathing has already started and your SD interrupts it in attempt to stop it.

Thank you

Dr Phil's Butthole rubbermaid, or anything from the dollar store really. ive never had any issues with my dollar store containers in the freezer :)

slidesandspoons thank you very much!

Yes, I do. It‘s a little late for an answer but I watched the video just right now.

A med alert dog trained to do so, can sense a rise in cortisol levels (which indicate increased stress level).

Austin Lee thanks for your opinion on what I need, but it didn’t actually pertain to my statement in a helpful way. Your comment was based on an assumption that I only get samples once every six months. Please try not to tell people what they need and don’t need.

Lily yes

My medical alert dog will jump in my lap and she will nudge me to pet her when she senses a anxiety attack
