Learn how to train your service dog to alert you to sounds (hearing alerts) and do diabetic and other medical alerts. Note the star (*) indicates when the clicker marks the behavior. Note that barking is not a behavior that is desirable for an alert behavior for assistance dogs. In public is is disruptful and is only used for emergencies to call attention to a person that needs help. Look for our two way alert video and check out a detailed ‘how to’ description on our blog: viassistancedogs.blogspot.com Provided to you by Vancouver Island Assistance Dogs. Nanaimo, BC

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a potentially life-threatening complication in patients with diabetes mellitus. It happens predominantly in those with type 1 diabetes, but it can occur in those with type 2 diabetes under certain circumstances. DKA results from a shortage of insulin; in response the body switches to burning fatty acids and producing acidic ketone bodies that cause most of the symptoms and complications.

That is such an awesome idea! I think I may try using that with the hubby!
Umm… I don’t really understand how I can train my dog alerting me with sound…can you explain it more? Because I want to able train my dog do that with sounds like doorbell, ppls calling me, etc…
@laurielatorre Have you seen the two way alert? That may help. Also, the videos are CC in case that helps. You can use the exact same prcess to teach each sound. You may have to modify it slightly. For example, if you want your dog to alert you to a door knock, train at the door. If you want an laett for a person calling your name, you’ll have to gneralize the behavior to many locations and many different people calling your name once the basic behavior is trained.
I love watching your video… I think you are doing a great job for people with disabilities…. good job.
My mom is a dog behaviour expert and she loves your videos! I just came across one and you are awesome! Our dogs love your games and my mom said she’s gonna try the alert so she can hear her cell phone
@misschelsieblue I am glad they are useful! If you are interested in other ‘how to clicker’ videos, check out our other channel: supernnaturalbc2009. They are more for tricks, dog sports and general behavior.
ur dog is cool what kind of dog??
@poploverist Animal Control Special. Best guess is GSD/BC x miniature pinscher.
This made me think of an automatic doorbell to crate behavior….hmmm. Might have to try that. Thanks for the inspiration!
You are welcome! There are lots of other applications for this idea, if creativity is used! Good for you!
We had to put down a great service dog a couple of months ago. It was bittersweet. What a fantastic life he lead.
finally had time to watch this video Donna and wow, is it GREAT! I always love your vids, your training posts on fb, and of course Jessie
Thank you so much for all you do and share!
How would you teach a dog to alert a certain person (not yourself, but say an elderly aunt who doesn’t understand training processes)?
@mavericksblaze Service dogs are taught this transfer all the time. Start by training the behavior on yourself, then have the client practice with the dog starting right back at the beginning with the nose touch on them. Train the rest of the behavior with tem as you idid with you. The dog is only rewarded for alerting to them. No reward for alerting you. As soon as possible, fade yourself out of the training area. Good luck!
@supernaturalbc2008 Thank you!
how do you train a medic alert dog such as blood sugar or seizures, I once had a dog that naturally notified me, but after 16 years she has passed away.
@truemirror It’s trained the same way. if you check out my assistance dog blog (listed on this channel) and do a search of the archives for diabetic alert, you will find your answer. If you want some help and have a webcam, we can set something up. Donna
@supernaturalbc2008 Oh Ok, I will go check it out, I don’t have webcam hooked up yet, but ty sooo much for the offer (I may request later), what I didn’t do was to thank you for generously sharing how to train our dogs properly, you are an amazing and very giving person, words do not express the gratefulness for people like you. Also, I am teaching my dog this on the video, and she loves that she can nudge me & get a treat, she is much happier, and so am I that we are starting to communicate.
@truemirror Glad to help! Donna
how do you get the buzzer to go when you push the button? I’ve never seen a clock that could do that.
@ToMakeSilverSing If you set the time to be the current time, it will go when you hit it. Most of the old ones do this. I got mine from a second hand store.
@MsFluffle Depends on the dog and the environment. Some catch on right away but take a long time to generalize, others take abit to get it but generalize more quickly.
@MsFluffle It takes at least several training session to teach each part of the ebhavior, then you combine them and add distance. If you train it 5 days a week, the dog should have a very solid understanding of the basic behavior in a month.
