Training A Seizure Alert Service Dog

Seeing this brings tears of joy to me. My wife has refractory epilepsy, she's now on her 3rd drug combo. Learning how the dogs react and what to train them with will allow me to train a dog for her and save us a lot of money, and get her the protection she needs. I cannot thank you enough for posting this video.

This would be a Godsend for my son - he has terrible seizures and know ahead of time would give him time to get to a safe place before having a seizure. I am going to look into this more.

Ugh!! This made me cry - SO awesome! Dexter is a lifesaver and I’m so happy that he is going to help you get some of your independence back!! A great team!

Congrats on your new best friend. Dexter is amazing

I cried, this is so beautiful. Thankyou for your work. I feel for natalie, baby girl.

Well done, you(s)! It was really fun seeing Dexter in training, and now seeing him with his person. Great success story, and very good video!

I have seizures since 18 after chemo, grand mal (tonic clonic), and now bc I'm getting older, the seizures are stabilizing but even though, I have one out of nowhere, and had a bad concussion. It's getting more dangerous, I'm afraid of simple things in life. I can't wait to have a dog to help me. 😭 Hope one day it happens.

Such a nice dog

How do you get a service dog for seizures? My son in law has a brain tumor that couldn’t be completely removed without causing issues. He went a full year without any issues, then about 5 months ago had a seizure, and has been getting them more frequently. He’s now unable to work or drive so he’s home alone all day. One of these dogs would be great for him and put the rest of us at ease! So glad this young lady got Dexter. He’s absolutely amazing!

This acculy made me cry a littel bit at the end, becuse myself i have epelesi/epelepsy' and i rly want a dog to help me out those moment's you rly want a frend clsoe by so you know you will be safe when you ahve no clue wuts going on when you are in that state( epelepsy) well i live and sweden, but i have only 1-2 epelepsy seizure a month' but i still feel unsafe when i walk alone in town even if people are nice to you but you want your own frend there whit you like a dog that follows you and help you out :)

I love this story need a dog like that for when I have my seizures very very smart dog

Love this so much!💜

Aww I love this. :)

My dog is a service dog to assist with my hearing. Dogs are angels with fur. Sad that so many healthy dogs are murdered each day in The United States because shelters are too crowded. Canine potential is amazing. My dog came from a high kill shelter in Kentucky along with 4 litter mates. They were sent to Chicago Canine Rescue, a no kill shelter. We adopted her when she was 3 months old and began immediate training. She first became a therapy dog, then when my hearing got progressively worse we decided to see if she could be trained to be a service dog. We hired a trainer and she learned amazingly fast. She is a blessing. Thanks to our trainers and Chicago Canine Rescue and thanks to our dog Lucky. We are indeed the lucky ones.

That is awesome!!!!!

My dog, Damian, is a service dog for seizures and he lays on top of me to stop the seizures. It's pretty cool

I have Grand Mal Seizure (AKA; Tonic-Clonic Seizure) and my mom is currently learning some facts and info on how to get a seizure alert service dog for me since I can’t control my seizures

Can you tell me where you got the special button he presses that is connected to your parents phone? Thank you!

Aww I love this so much. Also my SDiT is named Dexter (nickname Dex) and was born on March 24 lol found that really cool

Is it possible I can learn how to train one for my sister? In my country Costa Rica I haven't been able to find someone to do so and I think it's very important to her to have someone to help her at all times
