How to get your dog so excited about training and scent, that you have to peel your dog off you at the end of a session.
A trainer can guarantee that they will remain available to assist or retrain a dog, or even to exchange a dog – but we should never make promises of what someone else will do. Ultimately, the maintenance of the training and the emotional stability of YOUR dog is YOUR responsibility.
All about communicating with your dog, knowing how to see the signs of stress and what to do about them.
How to at least partially isolate the scent that your body gives off when your particular medical event is happening. How to handle the scent once you've isolated it and how to present it to your dog.
A training plan that takes you from the first simple sent game, through the imprinting process and the games to play, how to alert and when, getting the first live alert and what to do after that.
Alerting in Medical situations is very different than alerting in the nosework competition field and even in search and rescue. The alert must be strong enough to get the human to stop what they are doing and do something about the impending medical emergency. Most alerts happen long before the human feels it and often humans don't do anything because they don't feel bad ---- yet.
This section covers things like training the dog to alert in public places, how to teach your dog to be excited about walking up in the middle of the night to alert, how to alert when the human won't stop moving, how to be persistent in alerting.
Games the human part of a service team should master in order to be efficient and consistent with training.
How to discover what may be wrong when your dog either stops alerting, doesn't persist in one alert, or doesn't alert every time.
Sound Buttons are used to teach a dog how hard to "touch" a human in order to impinge and make the human aware of the alert.
