Buckley just started his training with us, and we were thrilled to see him already identifying heart rate spikes and drops accurately in session.
Dogs possess an extraordinary sense of smell, allowing them to detect a wide range of medical changes within the human body. Even in environments where multiple people may be experiencing similar symptoms, they have the ability to distinguish and respond to their specific handler.
We went over how to clearly communicate to help get dog and human on the same page, how to advance Buckley from here, and things to keep in mind, such as he's still a puppy at one year old.
Service Dogs are not a certain breed, nor are they a particular gender, color, or the first puppy to pay attention to you.
There is so much that goes into a Service Dog Candidate such as their personality, temperament, and willingness to assist (not just ability to).
When choosing a lifeline, consider what your needs are, your living situation, and what kind of dog you would be comfortable and capable of living with and meeting the needs of.
Buckley has a great bond with his Mom and has already shown he will happily assist if he notices her medical is acting up. He is off to a great start and we're so excited to help him and his Mom on their journey!
