The fact that you trained him yourself is even more impressive, you did a great job.

Omg thanks for the very polite message of why not to distract a service dog in public. My partner is a 2 yr old Great Dane who is still in training. We run into these distractions every time we go to a store (which is not often due to my need for a service dog)

I love the comedy. I have chronic migraines. I get it!!! Thanks for sharing your journey.

Just doing a project on Medical Detection and Alert dogs and came across your vidoes! Thank you for making these! Thank you for spreading awareness and knowledge about your conditions and how Buddy helps you out! You are a remarkable human being!

I get bad migraines, I have a seizure disorder, Fibromyalgia, PTSD, I dissociate, and I also have autism. I am going to be 18 this month, after I move out of my parents house I am planning on getting a dog and owner training him or her to be my service dog. Having a service dog will make life so much easier for me!

OMG I have something sooooo similar!!! I just call them off episodes because I haven't been officially diagnosticated. But it's basically a black out moment where I have no control and I need to sit down

I’m amazed he can sense a migraine coming! I have been in some awful situations, alone when I’ve had a migraine so I can really see the benefit of this advanced warning.

What really bothers me are those who hate dogs and to are prejudiced against service dogs. One year at the Irwindale Rennassaince Fare, on Mother's Day, they threw out all the women with service dogs, including guide dogs and they refused to look at letters from doctors and trainters.

Beautifully explained section about public access

What Buddy does for you is downright magical. You're hell on wheels as a dog trainer, Jennifer.

I just found your channel and now i am watching them all! So informative and interesting, thank you for sharing

What a good boy 🥺 it amazes me that they are able to sense those things so well

Just found your channel (at like 1am this morning/last night because insomnia is the best way to find new KZfaq channels.) I'm already in love with Buddy and your channel. Starting at the beginning to try to learn your story since I have so so many questions!

U2 are an awesome team. You do a good job about explaining the laws and rules surrounding service dogs and their importance.

I love this i get to show it to my 2nd graders tomorrow. we are doing a unit on working dogs. I love that it will be easy for them to understand. Thanks!!

I love this video! Buddy is so awesome! The look on his face at the start of the video is too funny. He almost looked condescending or like he was so proud of himself (which he should be). I wonder if you’re complex partial seizures go hand in hand. I have complex partial seizures and will wind up with a pretty bad headache 4-5 hours after. They wrap around my forehead from temple to temple. I don’t know if I would consider it a migraine because I’m still able to function and an IBU will usually take care of it. But I just wonder because he alerted you of the complex partial seizure and then later alerted you that you were going to have a migraine. Anyways it’s just a random thought. You and your pup are badass!

Love this video!

Thank you ! I’m about to train my whippet pup , Merlin , to be my service dog for head trauma / seizure etc . I love him so much !

im heavily medicated for my seizures but i still have them every so often as partial seizures and im getting a service dog for mostly my anxiety, but having an alert for my seizures would be amazing

This is really wonderful. I'm lucky I only get migraines a couple of times a month.

Wonderful video. Your videos are helping me as I train my dog. Sending thanks and prayers to you and Buddy.

After watching your videos for what felt like forever I finally got my SDIT!! and I watch your videos even more now!

Aw, Buddy is such a handsome fella! My Gertrude (rescue mutt - 50% Golden Retriever, 25% Boxer, 25% Am Staff) is now 3 and turns on the lights for me at night (I plugged motion detection night lights into all the important areas) and will come to me if I bend down at the waist (low blood pressure faint possible). Now I'm curious how to get her to alert to migraines as I'm susceptible. Dogs are simply the greatest (and cutest) creatures we have. I have another, Momo, who's 10 yrs old - 50% German Spitz, 25% Husky, 25% ??? and he's smarter than everyone in my household put together, but too dang hyper to help me - he'd probably run circles around me in excitement if I fainted, maybe even do a few paw springs on my chest, lol. Gerts is my savior, though. I may not know how to get her to alert me to those migraines, but helping me see at night and giving me support when I'm about to black out is priceless. She's not a technical service dog (still have a couple public manner things to work on), but I certainly consider her one around the house!

I found a very smart abandon dog on the side of the road, she about little over a year, id like to train her specific to my needs, I have acm, eds, pots, mass cell...... the list run due to eds connection. She seems to sense when my heart beats funny enough I may pass out. Id love to train her, but don't know how. I looked up training videos and found this one.

Thank you for this video. I also have migraines and I had seizures when I was a toddler. I just had an episode that occurred last week where I have symptoms just like you. I was partially conscious, sleepy, confused, and I started to shake. I am being referred out to a neurologist. Should I ask then about a service dog?

I love animals and this is why I always ask people who are walking dogs before I come near them.

Jen, would u mind sharing how you came to get such an animal for this purpose? Did they teach u how train?

Can you do a video on how you trained him etx so people like me can mimic what you did? I really want to train my own service dog as well.

❤❤❤

Awesome video!! My 2 yr old was just diagnosed with migraines like yours and his docs solution is meds twice a day and he said it's lifelong. We were looking to get a dog but 35 to 60,000 is out of our price range :( was looking to try and train ourselves but as I'm seeing from videos like yours that may not be possible.can I ask are you on meds as well? The meds thry give him make him drowsy all day, dizzy and his mood is so violent. I can't honestly see keeping him on this long term. Do you personally having one, think a service dog would be a good option for a child so young. Do you think a service dog could bond with a child so young and addiquitely be a service dog and not feel like all kids are play kids? I know you're not a trainer. Just asking your opinion since you have one. Judt humping into looking because his episodes last 2-4minutes. Eyes shaking, hands and feet stop working correctly, falls to the ground. But he freaks out. Tries to get up and run for help and I worry about school years when I can't be with him. He averages 2-10 events a day but with this medicine it's 2-5 a week but I really really worry about effects being on meds long term. All the docs said this is a lifetime illness with lifetime meds, and that can't be healthy. I didn't know migraines could cause events like these and thought the doc was insane when they said this but I am happy to see that while a nuisance and annoying thry are manageable via your videos so thank you for posting them and sharing with us!

Hello how can you help me? I am trying to teach my SD the fainting alert. Can you make a video about that or help me in any way?

I have epilepsy and if I have a seizure I still need meds but my Dad said my SD gets anxious before one and focuses on me more do you know how to train DPT ( deep pressure therapy)?

I have chronic migraines and they dont really know why, but i have eds (Ehler-Danos syndrome) and my joints are prone to dislocations and falls. I want to get a registered medical alert dog but im in scotland and not sure how to. Do you have any advice?

Once you get it trained how do you get it certified?

I am working on saving enough to afford a miniature Schnauzer. I use forearm crutches so I need a smaller breed of dog to alert. Luckily, I usually have an aura before a grand Mal seizure, so I can usually get down, but don’t always have that luxury. I have partial aeizures as well. Did you self train or get yours from an organization? There is only one in my state, and it costs 18,000 to do this. My seizures can go up to two months with out occurring so I have looked into Paws with a cause, but the require at least one a month. The milder ones happen at least a few times a week, but I can’t leave my son alone for a month lol he’d go nuts, or drive his nana nuts:) 😂

How long does training take for a migraines alert dogs? Bcs im training mine to be mine

Hi ohh my gosh! My name is Gracyn Sieler. I am 13 years old. I have been struggling two years of not being able to do anything because I was undiagnosed. I am fainting 5-6 times a day along with have chronic migraines. The doctors in Mayo Clinic Mn have diagnosed me with autonomic dysfunction which mean my autonomic system has pinched nerves they haven’t been able to cure it besides giving me meds they just make me tired. I also am super shaky. Would you recommend a service dog we need help!

Hi I am Sofia from Mrs.Simmonsen!

Hello. My name is Rachel. I have partial seizures, often preceeded by migraines, caused by a TBI many years ago. I am wondering about getting a dog because it just seems wise to have one, in the least! How often do you seize or have migraines? Did people not validate your disorder because you don't "look ill"? I need help! I don't feel at peace with being alone for much of my day, while my kids are at school and while my husband is working. Can you provide some feedback? Can we talk, email, etc?

Hi I am Ida, from Mrs. Swister class

How did you teach him to alert you when that smell in the sweat and stuff happens, you can’t fake that, so I was just curious.

Hi! If you see a service dog, can you tell their handler you think their dog is pretty?

Do you still have the diagnosis of partial seizures or not?

I am thinking about to get a service dog because I have POTS and when I have a episodes my vision goes gray and blurry, I get dizzy to the point I almost pass out, I can't think we'll, ect. I think a dog mat help so that they can tell me when I'm about to have an episode and I can have them to elevate my feet when I have to lay down. Also, one could help by putting pressure on my legs so my blood gets to my brain faster.

was it hard to get Buddy fir your migraines?

Fantastic! I suppose he must smell a migraine hormone?

I’m training my chocolate Labrador Retriever name Bridget to be medical alert service dog cause I have seizures

Will you direct me? I am in the hospital with my special needs son. He needs a medical alert dog could you would you direct me?

Wow i'm impressive 👍🏽

Does that mean that you are still allowed to drive because he is able to sense your seizures?

my mom is going to get my dog to be trained to be a service dog for me cause I have anxiety
