Why are Seizure Service Dogs so important and how can they help?

My sister started having a nonepileptic seizure today, and Dartagnan, her Service Dog In Training, alerted me from across the house before I even knew something was wrong. By the time I got to her, she was leaning heavily to one side with her head positioned in a way that worried me about her airway. I carefully repositioned and laid her down so she could breathe safely.

She started having Cluster Seizures, which is multiple episodes back to back, and struggled to communicate in between them. As a third Seizure started, I realized her blood sugar was very likely low. After confirming with her after the last Seizure, I grabbed an applesauce pouch and had Dartagnan SDIT deliver it while I prepared food. He happily trotted across the house, back to the room, and put it in her hand. The sugar helped. I brought lunch in and found Dart had settled across her legs doing DPT. He ignored the plate of chicken nuggets, focused entirely on monitoring his Mom.

People often underestimate how serious nonepileptic Seizures can be. The risks are very real. From falls, to the airway being compromised, to injury. Confusion, inability to communicate, and physical exhaustion especially from repeated episodes are also common. This why having a trained Service Dog can make such a big difference.

They can notice subtle changes humans miss, alert someone that it's happening or about to happen, assist during the episode, retrieve items (like the applesauce pouch), and perform grounding tasks like Deep Pressure Therapy. Having a dog there to help keep their handler safe during very vulnerable moments can bring security as well as quite literally save their life.

Today could have gone very differently without Dartagnan paying attention. While I train Service Dogs daily, they still never cease to amaze me with their willingness and devotion to help their person.

Zuri SDIT alerted her Mom that her Raynaud's was acting up and circulation was poor, then responded by putting her own paws over her Mom's feet. Especially at night, Zuri will intentionally curl up and put pressure on her Mom's feet to help with blood flow and keeping them warm. This has helped consideredly with her Mom's sleep and ability to get better rest.

The other day, Dartagnan SDIT's Mom had multiple dogs alerting to her and even pinning her. Dartagnan later helped her through a Seizure. The next day, she had a severe almost blinding migraine, which is not common for her. Thankfully, she's doing better today.

We said goodbye to Ivy today, one of our Day Trains. She and her Dad will be heading to their cabin for the summer. We're so happy with the progress she's made and her Dad has been thrilled at the skills she's acquired. We hope they have a great time and enjoy some fun adventures together!

August SDIT just started working with us. She's an almost 1 year old Lab from Wyoming. We'll be working on her manners, especially because she gets so excited and doesn't believe in strangers, as well as working towards training in public and learning tasks. She's such a happy girl that's eager to please. We're excited to have her and help her family on this journey!

How does your dog behave when going to someone else's house?

Having manners and being polite are important, especially when entering someone else's home.

Both Ivy and Azraylea SDIT enjoyed a car ride together, then Azraylea joined us when Ivy was dropped off at home after her Day Train.

Ivy's Dad loves when we bring some of Ivy's friends to visit!

He complimented Azraylea's behavior, then talked about how impressed he was with Ivy's self control around her friend and how far her training has come.

While Sit and Down might be priorities for some, and are good commands to know, having good life skills and being able to apply them can really open up a dog's world.

We're keeping a close eye on Dartagnan / Charmy's Mom today. So far, all the dogs have alerted to her, pinned her, and shown a higher level of concern than normal. We just had another storm move through last night, which I'm sure is contributing, but this is abnormal. Thankful for their heads up so we can take extra precautions today.

Having dogs that can task near each other or together, and even take turns is very important in households that have multiple Service Dogs / Service Dogs In Training. Handlers sometimes have medical episodes right next to each other, so dogs are in close proximity. Other times, one handler may have multiple dogs who insist on tasking at once. Then there's our house, where dogs in training are added that are learning how to recognize and assist during medical. Navigating this to ensure there's no resource guarding, insecurities, or even playtime, etc is a high priority.

Photo of Charmy who launched onto the bed and refused to potty until she felt her Mom had been taken care of enough for her to leave her for a few minutes. Then she was right back up on the bed tasking for her. She isn't a year old yet, but is incredibly dedicated. Natsu also says, "Good luck retiring me with medical still in the house." He does what he wants now, lol.

It's taken a lot of time and commitment to get here, but Rex's family has done an amazing job!

They originally called on Legendary for us to help give their outdoor dog more indoor privileges.

Concerns included appropriate interactions with the young kids, body awareness, food snatching, cleanliness (which included more in depth grooming), responding to commands, walking well on leash, taking the stairs slowly, kennel training, etc.

Now he lives happily in the house with the rest of his family!

One thing that added to the difficulty of achieving this, was the new kitten that came in after their older cat passes away.

This kitten was full of life, bounced off the furniture, pounced at the sliding back door, and had no fear of Rex, which meant launching full speed at him for fun.

Rex has prey drive that he's shown he can act on. He's also part Northern Breed, Husky and suspected Malamute, so this was not a surprise.

Introducing him and the kitten took a lot of patience and short high quality mini sessions from the family.

Once Rex was in the house, impulse control, clarity, and practicing daily played a huge role, along with kennel time. And yes, even the kitten was kennel trained.

Fast forward to the present, Rex and the kitten are not only coexisting, but doing so safely with him off muzzle. He's slowly earning more privileges with a dragged leash, that will be taken off when he's ready. Their interactions are still heavily supervised, and both are advocated for as needed.

The kitten, now a little older, is still unafraid of Rex,and determined to be friends. Rex enjoys her company too and they no longer hyperfixate on each other. The kitten will even randomly run directly in front of Rex, who then looks to his owner as opposed to chasing her, like we've practiced.

His prey drive won't just dissappear, no one expects that. But over time, as a strong foundation was made and built on, safe coexistence has been made possible, bringing peace and greater happiness to Rex and his family.

Photo of the kitten doing her thing during our last session and Rex choosing to engage with his Mom, despite the feline being nearby and doing random zoomies.

Bella came to us very dog reactive. She'd try going after another dog on sight, even at a distance.

She's making a lot of progress learning our communication system, her on and off switch during play, impulse control, and wearing her new muzzle.

I've been impressed with The Muzzle Movement muzzles, their quality, and how quickly most dogs adapt to them.

Next, we'll be teaching Bella that it's possible to coexist around other dogs.

Desensitization can come in handy for a lot of things, including entertainment. This is why Dartagnan's nickname is Grilled Cheese.
