How to get a DIABETIC ALERT DOG. Step by step process. CYCLE TRAINING

[@tomthompson5868]

I raised my Diabetic Service Dog Trigger from a puppy. He has learned how to snap me out of a Diabetic coma. He has changed my Blood Glucose level while I was driving. You heard me. I was losing consciousness and Trigger let out a huge Bark that scared me so much I had a massive adrenaline release. It scared me to the point I completely snapped out of it. From what I have learned no other Service Dog can do what he does. He saved my life several times. If you have any questions contact me.

I’ve been diabetic for two years but I’ve never been that low. My dog can sense when I’m low and stuff but he gets a little to excited in public what should I do

[@gucciflipflopsbro]

@@colinmacgillivray6835 socializing. Get them comfortable in all different situations and around different people. My dog is highly food motivated and we said "yes" and gave a treat when he recognized new things without reacting. Look at the bicycle, look at me, "yes", treat, move on. Good luck!

Wow, Very professional Adam and Zeno. Very complete and well explained. Thank you. Can my Mobility Service Dog, also service as my wife's Diabetes 2 Alert dog?

[@mbjdno779]

I love that your dog is a protection trained dog and that you don't claim him ad a service dog. I love to to see a mastiff used for what they were breed for.

This helped me figure out how I need to get a service dog for me I was diagnosed with diabetes type 1 in January 2020

[@sarahellaaa]

I was diagnosed October 2018

I'm here with you too I was diagnosed at late of 2019 early beginning of 2020 I was in the hospital for 2 weeks and the ICU for 2 days now I found this video and I'm looking to get a service dog

[@zadoknelson6046]

Having a service dog for a type 1 diabetic, gets to a point of becoming an absolute necessity. I was diagnosed in 96, and my ability to detect low blood sugar on my own has been mediocre at best, for years! I have nearly died countless times, and I could write a book on the crazy experiences I've had. It's definitely time to start the process of getting a service dog.

It's about time!!! These people don't care if they follow the law. I'm glad there has finally a prosecutor who follows through for the people with service dogs.

[@sanditemplin5161]

My Shitz zhu has been waking my husband up when his blood sugar has been low below 60...2 times without training...

[@Hounwolf]

I trained my own service dog with my trainers help. My service dog is a bridle German Shepherd and his name is reaper

[@annettebelliveau4335]

lol scarey name lol but yet funny. Curious to know why you name your dog Reaper??

[@fightsewbig]

Have you ever done so for hypoglycemia in someone NOT diabetic? I have severe hypoglycemia due to some pancreatic issues I have. I go very very low. But I don’t have diabetes. I’ve had to have help from others many times. I’ve had to have medical intervention several times.

[@victoryiaitaliano1660]

I recently got a dog that is 9 years old very well mannered in public and listens very well. He seems like he had been trained professionally and just recently my sugar went extremely low and he started acting crazy and barking in my face, which now me and my husband are wondering how I get a mature dog certified. Since then I have been working on scents when I’m low. Can you help?

Would you have any companies/trainers that you'd recommend​ in Ohio?

[@kristenharper6925]

Indeed, I feel like these great trainers are all so far away from me!! I'm in CNY. I absolutley appreciate these videos. I'm not a diabetic but I do have a tricky seizure disorder; I constantly find myself watching these and dreaming of a different kind of freedom. You know the freedom where my family doesn't need to worry for me constantly. And oh the freedom of a simple hike....

[@lysettemorgan9844]

how do I get one.

[@mosesphillips9687]

do you ever use bells on the collar to alert the patience of low blood sugar

[@briannamoss3625]

how much would it all cosy if you brought your own dog?

[@TopDogProfessionalTraining]

Not every dog has the work ethic, eagerness to please and the scenting ability to serve as a service dog. Additionally, service dogs must meet a very high standard of obedience to be allowed public access. If desired, we can assess your dog’s aptitude for diabetic alert dog training. From there the cost would depend on the number of training cycles you and your dog would need.

[@caromellodoge193]

That would be fantastic if I got a diabetic alert dog so my parents dont have to check me when I'm sleeping all I need is a dog to nudge me awake and check my blood sugar😁🤩

[@samanthaperez4431]

pastel cloudy but dogs need sleep to...They can’t be awake 24/7

Where shouls i start train at on scent... High or low scents.

[@barrys675]

I have a 9 month old beagle can she be trained for a Diabetic alert dog ......

[@yessicajessica]

At what point can the dog go with me everywhere/to work? the reason for asking is I’m a single woman and recent empty Nester. I have type one diabetes and sometimes I don’t wake up to my CGM alarms. I don’t want to die this way. I know that sounds dramatic, but, it’s my truth. At what point would my job be required to accept him/her as an accommodation? If not right away, is it possible to be approved by you if I would have to leave them at home to go to work until they can be with me full time?

[@cindyrodriguez6352]

Would you first start with obedience training before starting scent training ? Or do you both at the same time?

Hi Cami, No you're not too late. You would want to start by having your dog evaluated by a qualified trainer. What area do you live in? We may be able to help you locate a trainer near you.

[@DwayneBHicks]

I'm a 50 year old type 2 diabetic with a history of congestive heart failure and stage 4 renal disease am I a good candidate for a service dog?

[@travissmith9048]

What if you chew tobacco? Does it effect the sent? I'm sure it does. I like the videos but I'm in missouri. I have a dog now and she is good at a lot of thing. Just don't know if she would be a good fit. She's blue healer and jack Russell cross. She's a year and a half old. I'm type one diebetic. I have had problem with low blood sugar sever times.

[@TopDogProfessionalTraining]

Unfortunately when we've tested dogs on folks that chew tobacco we usually found that they did struggle a lot more with the scent detection.

[@travissmith9048]

Thanks for the info. I appreciate what you all do. God bless your dog training there. Thanks again.

[@zackmatsuda]

I dont have t1 but i have severe hypoglycemia that causes seizures and unconsciousness, am i still eligible for a diabetic alert dog?

[@RavenTheLabrador]

Mai Matsuda there is no criteria that makes somebody either eligible or ineligible if you have a disability that a service dog can help mitigate your disability then a service dog would definitely be beneficial to you. if you don't want to wait for a program dog then I encourage you to research and look into how you can properly owner train a diabetic alert dog they are no different than a program dog they are trained exactly the same way to alert the exact same way to the same thing like in your case low blood sugar. anyways good luck hopefully you either get a program dog or decide to owner train one yourself it's actually not near as difficult as some people try to make it sound there are tons of resources out there to help you do this.

Hi Julie, sorry we just now saw this. I would recommend checking out our scent imprinting videos that we have. That's where we start with puppies.

[@RavenTheLabrador]

julie cumpean there are times I shouldn't say times but lots of books videos and stuff like that that you can purchase online with great resources to show you how to owner train a diabetic alert dog just do a Google search or join some of the diabetic alert service dog groups on Facebook or owner trained service dog groups on Facebook you will find all the resources you need anyways good luck :-)

[@lonestarkennels4117]

my a1c is 10... would it have to be lower to get an SD?

[@TopDogProfessionalTraining]

Hi Jay, I'm sorry to just now be seeing this. Yes we would require a lower A1C than that. When the A1C is high, it typically means that you are having so many drastic blood glucose changes that a dog would have a hard time keeping up.

[@lonestarkennels4117]

Top Dog Professional Training that should be the reason to train it

[@TopDogProfessionalTraining]

Yes but unfortunately dogs are just like humans, and they can only be expected to work so hard. A diabetic alert dog has to be on constant alert, and if you're having constant changes it will quickly fatigue the dog, and burn them out.

[@lonestarkennels4117]

Top Dog Professional Training so what would the a1c have to be?

[@TopDogProfessionalTraining]

8 or below

[@antoniodominion9418]

SCENT, as in smell, is spelled S-C-E-N-T. “SENT”, which you have in your foundation graphic, refers to movement, as in going somewhere. I hope that this clears this up for you. Take good care, ~Antonio

Simply a typo that unfortunately cannot be corrected now. If you look around you'll notice it's spelled correctly in many other places on our website and youtube videos. Thank you.

[@thomaswilson3547]

He full of crap but nice guy. I can see right thru his pitch and how he is training the customers to understand that they will be paying up charges from upselling over and over.

[@TopDogProfessionalTraining]

Feel free to reach out if you'd like to talk to some referrals of folks that have gone through this program. I think you'll find that one thing I've never been accused of in my twenty years of training dogs is upselling, kind of the opposite in fact. I tend to give away too much stuff for free. Overall this program has saved a lot of people money because many were prepared to spend $20-30k for a fully trained Diabetic Alert Dog and instead were able to come in at a fraction of that cost by using the cycle training system that I described here.
