Thank you for posting this video! I'm re-training my service dog to diabetic alert after several failed attempts. With your help, I'm certain I can do it right this time :)
This info is invaluable Thank you so much.. We are training a 1 yr old standard poodle for my 13 yr old granddaughter who has very unstable (insulin resistant) diabetes since age 6. The dog was donated to her he's a wonderful specimen. Clever and friendly. Right now my daughter is training him some simple behavioral issues. We will start the scent trainings soon after. Thanks again.
I love your videos! I was referred to this video by the dog trainer I am using to task train my service dog to my hypoglycemia. I have also watched your videos on traveling with service dogs. I will continue to watch and save your videos for future reference!
Please note that estimating a diabetics life expectancy does not make diabetics feel hopeful. In order to relate, sometimes people share things like this. I am a health coach and this really impacts hopefulness and motivation. Sensitivity is really important. Thanks!
Thank you for posting this video. It was very informative. I am a dog trainer and also breed dogs. Beginning at 3 days of age I begin imprinting the puppies on low blood sugar scent and eventually place the best DAD prospects in homes to become DADs. A video like this has been needed, and one that promotes +R training techniques. Thanks again
I have just sent this link to my endocrinologist. I am a dog trainer with diabetes, I anticipate getting a new dog within the year and want to train my own DAD. I am also a CGC evaluator and will also use this dog for testing. Please add me to your mailing list.
My Zoom class will be kicking off in a couple of weeks. Its all online conferencing so you can see me and I can see you. Get on the website and get on the email list to be notified when the class opens for enrollment. servicedogacademy.com/wp/live-online-group-training-classes-medical-alert/
I'm in the UK, and want to train our family dog for my wife who is type 1 diabetic. we have two dogs, but our two year old Labrador cross is very intelligent, and we think would make a good choice. Do you do any books, or dvd's, that can be purchased, as we don't really have trainers, who do this sort of work in this country? Thank you.

Hello, you start training with detecting glucose lows. I don't have that problem very often, but I do have the opposite problem - glucose highs. Can I start training with detecting highs instead? Thank you!
What is the oldest a dog can be? Because I've been thinking of training my dog to alert me when my blood sugar drops, but I think he's too old to train.

Thank you, Anna Feb. 21,2016
Hi My son is a Type 1 diabetic and I want to train my miniature poodle puppy to alert my son for sugar lows. Is this possible since the "live" scent is always in the home? If I do the training I feel like the dog will be more bonded with me but it is my son's dog and I want him to be bonded to him more. Thank you for a response
I am trying to watch theDiabetic alert dog training and I get voice only. Also do you know anyone on the east coast that does training like yours? Thank you,

When collecting samples, should you wait a certain amount of time after eating or drinking?
45 minutes only water and clean your hands with a scent free soap so as to not contaminate the scent picture
ca you help me train my dog?
