FAQs about Seizure Alert Dogs

1. What is Seizure Alert Dog? A seizure alert dog is a type of service dog that is trained to find help or assist their partner during and/or after a seizure. Dogs chosen for this role will be able to naturally detect an oncoming seizure and are trained in a way to warn their partner of an oncoming seizure.

4. How to Train Your Dog to Alert for Seizures A dog's nose is so much better at smelling than a human's. They can actually tell when a seizure is about to happen by the scent of the chemicals released inside the victim. To help kickstart your training process, there are some things you're going to need.

These include: - The Right Dog: Some breeds are more suited to this kind of training than others. Beyond that, each dog's individual personality also impacts on whether they would make a good service dog or not. -

Professional Help: Whether you work with an organization or you hire a trainer with experience dealing with epilepsy assistance, you're going to want to work with someone who knows what they're doing. The way that your dog responds could really be life or death for the person involved.
