I have a Parsons Terrier. She’s amazing!!! For me a small dog is much easier to have her out and about with me. I’m also in a power chair. So I have her stay in my lap when we are out. She is trained to stand to alert me. I can’t hear if some one walks up behind me. Or in a Dr office when my name is called, so those are some of the things she will tell me. Or if some one is trying to get my attention and I’m not seeing or hearing them. She will also let me know when any door is opened in a a room I am in. I’m not totally deaf. I actually hear fair amount. But there are a lot of sounds I can’t hear (high pitch sounds, women’s and children’s voices are some I really struggle with) and I can’t hear things clearly in noisy areas. I can hear even less with out my hearing aides. (I don’t really like wearing them either. Sound is overwhelming sometimes.) My heading dog is so smart, she sometimes picks up on things with out me training. Like for instance I have a ring door bell. She’s trained to tell me when it rings. (It alerts on my cell phone and I have a flashing light that goes off with all alerts on my phone.) But I also have an alert on my phone to tell me when there is motion outside. About every 2 months I have to change the tone or the voice response (right now it says “there is motion in the front yard”) and now she has learned with out any training that means some one is outside the door, walking by the house or a car has driven by. She will alert me to that now, LOL! The only reason I have that is that it can give me extra time (I’m mobility limited) to get to the door when I have a generalized time that I know someone is coming over. So I can get up and get to the door with out them standing there too long. The only problem is she tells me every single time it alerts and a lot of times it’s just regular neighborhood traffic as we are a corner house. So I frequently change that up so she won’t keep alerting. LOL! Hearing dogs just love to work and want to please so much. I can’t imagine my life with out her. She’s really just nothing short of amazing!
The fact that the dog ran to the window exactly three minutes before she got home has to be a coincidence. Because dogs don't know how we measure time. They don't know that we measure time in second, minutes and hours. The way we measure time is a unit that was created by humans, dogs aren't born with that knowledge. It's like expecting a dog to know inches and feet.
