Alert Task and Assist Status

Below is a list of things to practice with your dog to work on your particular alert task training and your assist training. Each one is different to anyone else as each of your scents are different. Make sure you have your scent samples. If not already working on collecting them get with me and we can review. Task training involves teaching your dog to alert you to a potential medical or psychiatric episode by pawing, nudging, barking, and then assisting you by bringing you something, lying on you, going for help. Please write down your individual needs and the task that you are using for that and others

Example: Symptom = Anxiety = training task is = guide handler to a safe place = Assist is = deep pressure point therapy

Symptom = Medical = training task is = nudge /lick/paw handler = Assist is = get medicine from the kitchen
