Great book – but you’ll need another for obedience and public access
The techniques in this book are perfectly explained for DAD training, but you will need a second book to go over obedience and public access training. I’d recommend Training Your Own Seizure Alert and Assistance Dog by Katie Gonzalez. Even though the disability is different, the training is similar and once you piece both books together, you have everything you need and the knowledge for your entire training project. Highly recommend this book if you need a DAD. If you don’t need the dog to go into public with you as a service dog, and just want your pet to alert to your levels at home, you won’t need the second book and can go with this one alone.

So much help!
We have actually been working with Rita to train our dog but the book has helped tremendously. It’s like having Rita at our house! It has handy charts, lots of very useful information and photos showing exactly how to do things. I would say you still need to work with a trainer but as an adjunct to the professional training it is fantastic. Knowing that we have a dog at home to alert my husband (and she does) makes my life a lot less stressful. Now, if only someone can write a book on how to train them to talk…

hope
While I have not had time to try the method they give to train a dog to alert(we are still gathering scents) the simple way they use to train looks like it should work. This book was easy to read and understand and we are looking forward to using this method with our lab mix.

Just one tool, among many, to help you train a dog.
Although I already had trained a diabetic alert dog, I still found this very helpful. I am now training a new dog, as my older one needs to retire. Please note though, it is not possible to train every dog. Your dog has to have at least some ability to do this. Please learn how to find a suitable dog, that has a good potential to become a diabetic alert dog. No specific breed is better then another, in general. However, some do have better abilities than others. This book is really great to help you with training. But don’t expect miracles. It takes a lot of work to train a dog. There are a number of steps, and this is not an overnight thing. This book will be a great tool in a fully stacked tool box.

Finally!!! A great and very important resource!!!
A great resouce book about training a DAD (diabetic alert dog). This book is the best book on the market and the most detailed and it is spot on if you are training your own DAD. It’s a good book for dog trainers specializing in training DADs. A big thank you to Rita and Sue for writing and getting this powerful book on the market while so many are trying to sell expensive and not-so-good material out there. This book is for real and will be a great asset to many of us who are training DADs or depend on DADs.

Not bad
A lot of helpful information in this book, some good tips but the sequence of training some of the things did not make that much sense to me. There were no page numbers and no index which makes this less than useful when trying to find something, quality of the photos is very poor in many instances making it difficult to understand what you are suppose to see.

Very helpful!!
I am a very brittle diabetic and have had lots of problems with highs and lows. I train obedience dogs and knew my malinois would make a good service dog if I could figure out how to train her. This book opened the door with that information and she is now alerting me of highs and lows. I would recommend it to anyone who is diabetic has a dog. It was very direct in how to train each step and I am delighted with the results.

clear and easy to follow
I purchased this book, the one by Veronica Zimmerman, and the one by Shari Finger. Overall this book was well organized, clear and easy to follow. Between it and the book by Shari Finger, I was able to get the best amount of pertinent information to assist my trainer and I in training my DAD. It does use clicker training, which I am not using, however, I do not think that will be a hinderance in using the advice and guidance in the book, especially with the scent training.

Trainings bible for all scent based medical alert dogs, especially when you depend on owner training.It’s written for diabetic alert dogs, but the basic training principles goes for anxiety and such as well. You can easily adapt.But please note – this book will only help you train reliable core task – that is the small part of sd training, you still have to put in a lot of pa training and basic obedience.I wish it’d be available in German too, more people could benefit from it. The german books on the subject aren’t much of a help if you depend on owner training.With this book you can get your SD to perform a crucial task – alerting at night and waking you from your sleep.As always – if you lack basic knowledge and skillz or have any doubt’s – contact an experienced trainer who’s up to date on modern training methods to help you.
