I wish I could get a dog like that. I've been trying for years. Last year I almost got hit by a car cause I had a seizure while crossing the street. I keep getting turned down because of funding. And I have several seizures a week.
We got an American Bulldog puppy at 6 weeks, my daughter is 17 and has Tonic Clonic seizures in her sleep. When our dog was 6 months old he began pacing up and down the hallway between our bedroom and my daughters, her door was closed. I kept asking him if he had to go out but he didn't, then he began to whine and stop outside her door. Finally I realized his behavior was so unusual I went into my daughters room and he followed whining, within minutes she began to suffer a TC...truly amazing dog
This is awesome, I've been doing a presentation on service dogs for an education class at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. This video provides so much insight for students that do not know otherwise.
I have a service dog...a 3 pound poodle-chihuahua. They don't always have to be big dogs. My dog is also for seizures and for other things related to my disability. It's amazing! Just a tip for you that think they're expensive: you can train your own. But aside from that, you have to realize the price you put on one is about 1% their worth, they're worth more than gold to their recipients. I trained my own and he's amazing!
Dogs are so amazing. <3 I've had a few seizures in my life and both my dogs knew when I was going to have one. They weren't service dogs in any way either.
We have placed other breeds with Seizure Assist clients. German Shepherds are great dogs, but you are right, the training and bonding are the most important factors.
aren't they? We're currently looking for a seizure response dog for our 6 year old son. But man..they are definately high priced but they are worth it. I'm hoping to find our 4 legged angel soon.

i wont say just German Sheperd only because if you train a dog correctly,basic training, he/she will learn to trust and be loyal to you.
