In this video, I speak with Jacqueline Lampert about training an allergen detection service dog. We go over the different stages of allergy detection training, the importance of your service dog having an independent search, and show examples of the training. We also talk about her current demo dog Chai, and where chai is in the allergen detection training process.

Brilliant! I'm fatally allergic to peanuts and seafood, so this is something I planned to train but wasn't sure how to start. This step-by-step overview is fantastic, thank you so much!

Aw man when ever I encounter someone with a nut allergy what pops up in my mind is how much that would suck if that were me. Peanut butter is so delicious. Well, I’ll eat the PB&J, peanut butter and banana sandwich, and ants on a log in your honor. Stay safe out there. Food allergies are no joke.

I learned how to do this from Donna Hill. It is work to train this, but I must say very worth it. And like her saying what is not good to teach them.

This was very helpful. I have developed some severe allergies over the last year (potatoes of all things) and now I am considering adding allergy detection to my SDiT's training. The biggest hurdle is I am extremely allergic to these things and can't have them in the house, so I am not sure that I can owner-train her to detect them myself. Since she is still only a puppy, I figure I have other things to focus on and I will cross that training bridge when I get there. Thank you, Laura.

I was so excited to see this as I am getting a service dog prospect for just this application. I have a tree nut allergy and while I have not required an epi pen, I try to avoid the symptom of projectile vomiting at all costs. Since tree nuts come in different varieties and forms (as in almond milk, cashew butter, etc) does the dog need to be trained to each kind of nut that falls under tree nuts? Thanks for posting this, it made my day.

@DoggyU 3 ай бұрын

Hey Armadillo Feathers! I’m glad you enjoyed the video! I’m guessing the answer is yes, but I don’t know for sure. I brought Jackie on because I don’t know too much about allergen detection, so I would check out her business, linked in the description, as well as delta tails. They may be able to better answer that question more accurately! If I get a lot of questions, I may group them together and try to get them all answered over on Patreon :)

Is it possible to train a dog to alert to smells in the air, e.g. 2nd hand cigarette smoke, and indicate to the severely allergic handler which direction it's coming from? That's something I've always wondered about. I knew it was possible to do foods/other objects, but wasn't sure about scents in the air and their direction of travel.

@asecretcourtofcrowsandcloc4084 3 ай бұрын

This is very interesting. I always wondered how they were able to train the dogs not to eat the food they were sniffing like if it was at a restaurant or on the floor

This is amazing!! If my dog wasn't so bad at sniffing out even her own food and treats, I would absolutely be looking into training her to detect my food allergens (peanuts and multiple types of tree nuts) T_T

@ellabartal4652 3 ай бұрын

Dogs who don't need to sniff for food, are not naturally gonna sniff for it. You gotta start doing scent games and teaching them to sniff (through shaping) for a scent. There are probably tutorials online for scent games.

@seesarahsaw1593 3 ай бұрын

@@ellabartal4652 Thank you for the advice, but I've been doing this and trying out all kinds of scent games with her for over a year and a half. Every other cue and trick and game I've taught her she's picked up quickly with no problem but she is just not good at finding food by scent even if she is excited and actively looking for it; more often than not, I have to end up guiding her to food she is literally standing on top of because she just can't seem to latch onto a scent trail. Anyone who has fed her treats has noted this as well. lol

I got lucky, my doctor and I discovered I had diabetes. We started meds right away. I also went on a diet that besides losing weight, it was also to drop my A1C. I have a service dog that picks up stuff and helps me stand when needed. So I was thinking on how to train him to sense when my levels were to high or to low. I didn’t have to worry about training him. His bonded girlfriend knew when I went to high or low. She would lay on me when I was in trouble. Now that I’m not worried about being a diabetic and I’ve kept on the weight loss. She still sticks by me at home and I didn’t have to worry about working with two service dogs. The fun part is we got her at the end of my service dog training and she just worked with him and learned how to be a good service dog but not the special training that Ryu went through. The only one going training she still gets is her down training. She is short enough that when all the other dogs lay down, they become eye to eye with her. So she thought she just sat there and was in a correct position. Well, she ended up learning down on the bed so she was eye to eye with us in bed. She does down on the couch now. Hoping she catch’s on when she is on the floor. But at home she snuggles with me and is a great dog.

this might be a stupid question to ask, but is it possible to train a dog to detect eggs? i’m very allergic to them (i require an epi-pen at least 7 times out of 10 if is accidents ingest even the tiniest bit), but i’m not sure if that’s a thing that can be trained (safely). i’m also allergic to all seafood as well as lentils, but not as much as i am to eggs (i think😅)

I don’t see why not. But I’m not an expert on scent-trained service dogs. Definitely check out the description for some resources who are.

@AhriBearSollySun13 3 ай бұрын

If you train the pup to detect more then one allergy do they do a different motion “aka lay down “ for each allergy? Or can just one motion work since it’s to find an allergy you want to avoid?

Hey Jaelyn - I don't know the answer to that question, as I"m not a specialist in scent detection. However, it seems like this may be a task better addressed with technology vs. a dog.

Do you have to have your dog trained and verified by an ADI accredited organization or charity in order for your dog to be a service dog? I am self-training mine and unable to find an ADI accredited organization that will work with me because they don’t typically train people’s dogs, they just give people dogs they already have trained.

@DoggyU 3 ай бұрын

You do not need to have your dog verified by an ADI organization. If you travel outside the US, ADI accreditation can be really helpful, but it is definitely not required within the US. Here's a video that might be helpful in thinking through your training timeline, goals, and testing if you're looking for a more structured approach to training your SD: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abpoeM2QuquvYI0.html
