Diabetic Alert Dog - High Blood Sugar Introduction

In this session Birdi the diabetic alert dog is introduced to high blood sugar and taught to alert to it. She already knows to find a low blood sugar as well as is already alerting to live lows, so this session’s goal is to begin teaching her to alert to highs as well.
There are in range samples in every container except 1, which has a high sample of 210mg/dL.
This training is from MD Dogs Inc.
Birdi is available as a diabetic alert dog and looking for her match. To apply for Birdi visit mddogs.org.

Hey, LR! I reread your Puppy Steps book today at a local library and own a 4 mnonth (teenage) Goldendoodle! But diabetes doesn't really get mentioned in your PUPPY STEPS b ook!

Wow that's terrific! Did you make the equipment?

[@libbyrockaway]

Yes, I designed it and made it

I don’t think I would over do it, dogs get board even to the food.

Thanks for the thought - this dog lives to work so it’s not a concern. Dogs with less work ethic may need fewer reps, but it’s all on a dog by dog basis.
