Diabetic Service Dogs, Diabetic Alert Dogs, Hypo Alert Service Dogs
Diabetic Service Dog, Diabetic Alert Dogs also know as Hypo Alert Service Dogs
Dogs are hyper sensitive and can be trained to detect a change in chemical levels and blood sugar levels in humans.
Canines 4 Hope can train a dog to detect subtle changes in a diabetic patient’s body chemistry that occur when the levels of glucose in the blood drop too low or rise too high which can lead to seizures, convulsions or diabetic coma. There are two types diabetes in which both types need to be monitored very closely. Type 1 is a disease in which the body no longer produces insulin, consequently it requires a different source of insulin which is shots in most cases, and some cases pumps. When diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes you have a life changing formation because everything from food, physical activity, growth spurts, hormones, weather, even emotions can affect your blood sugar levels. The second form is Type 2 diabetes. This type of diabetes is a condition in which the body still produces some insulin, but is not as effective as it should be. Type 2 is a little easier to keep under control and can be managed with diet, exercise, possibly a pill, maybe every now and again a shot.
Usually a person who has diabetes can feel the warning signs of low blood sugar. These warning signs are sweating, dizziness, shaking, and possible nausea. Nevertheless, many individuals are unaware of these warning signs and are unable to feel that their blood sugar levels are dropping or could possibly be dangerously low. If one’s blood sugar levels were to get too low it can lead to you having seizures, brain damage, and fainting. These could all be very dangerous depending on where you are at and if you are alone or not. There are resources, such as a Diabetic Service Dog, that can help with these issues.
Diabetic Alert Service Dogs trained by Canines 4 Hope can help a person living with diabetes live the life they were meant to live. Canine 4 Hope can train a Diabetic Alert Service Dog to take care of you or your loved one’s special needs. With their superior scenting abilities, a Diabetic Service Dog can actually sense chemical changes taking place when blood sugar goes too high or low in a person with diabetes. Diabetic Alert Service Dogs can detect breath scent changes of high blood sugar, recognize the scent of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), alert the individual to take their medication, retrieve medication and glucose, and retrieve the phone or even be trained to dial 911. These loyal and loving dogs are usually paired with an individual for life.

Autism Service Dogs – Autistic Assistance Dogs
As a service dog trainer, I hear many heart-wrenching stories of the struggles people endure just to make it through a day.
Recently I was contacted about our Autism Service Dogs by a mother who has a 3 year old son with Autism. She shared with me a video, a very powerful video so I would be able to put faces with names and get a good idea of their family’s specific autism service dog needs. When I clicked on the video link. I was expecting something like “Hi, my name is___ and this is my son___â€. Boy, was I wrong! This family put together a beautiful short but powerful visual documenting and highlighting their journey which includes the struggles their family endured to finally get to an autism diagnosis. Now they can finally focus on his needs. This is their journey with Autism.
If you know someone who is walking this same path, please share this touching and beautiful video. #AutismAwareness

With PTSD Awareness Month fast approaching, I wanted to take a moment to help spread the PTSD awareness message.
Since the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, most of us have heard of Post traumatic Stress Disorder PTSD by now. Many brave men and women in the armed services become afflicted with PTSD and it is because of their bravery and their willingness to tell their stories, that there is now a realization that PTSD effects not only our brave men and women in combat but also everyday people and children that suffer a traumatic experience in their lives.
The Veterans Administration has a great article called Understanding PTSD.
If you have a moment you may want to read their article they have available in pdf format:
Understanding PTSD
“Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can occur after someone goes through a traumatic event like combat, assault, a serious accident or disaster. Most people have some stress reactions after a trauma but if the reactions don’t go away over time or those reactions disrupt your life, you may have PTSD.â€
4 Types of PTSD Symptoms
Reliving the event (also called reexperiencing) Avoiding situations that remind you of the event Feeling numb Feeling keyed up (also called hyperarousal)
“People with PTSD may feel hopelessness, shame, or despair. Employment and relationship problems are also common. Depression, anxiety, and alcohol or drug use often occur at the same time as PTSD.â€
Getting Help for PTSD
“If you continue to be upset for more than three months, seek help. You can feel better! PTSD is usually diagnosed in one or two sessions. Your doctor or a mental health professional will evaluate you. You will be asked about your trauma and symptoms. You may also be asked about other problems you have.â€
The VA has a PTSD Screen Questionnaire you can take online.
“Effective Treatments available for PTSD are psychotherapy and in some cases medication.â€
911 VA Crisis Line: Call 1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255) Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-8255
The above information is available at the Department of Veterans Affairs. Visit the National Center for PTSD for additional information.
PTSD Service Dogs
PTSD Service Dogs are also known to work well with PTSD psychotherapy as a well-rounded approach to overcoming PTSD. Canines 4 Hope can create customized PTSD Service Dog training programs to help those who are suffering and living with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Canines for Hope Trained PTSD Service Dogs to:
Assistance in a medical crisis Provide treatment related assistance Assistance in coping with emotional overload Perform security enhancement tasks
A speciality trained PTSD Dog can provide a sense of security, calming effects, and physical exercise that can make a positive difference in the life of those that suffer with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Like all assistance dogs, a psychiatric service dog is individually trained to do work or perform tasks that mitigate their handler’s disability. Training may include providing environmental assessment (in such cases as paranoia or hallucinations), signaling behaviors (such as interrupting repetitive or injurious behavior reminding the handler to take medication, retrieving objects and guiding the handler from stressful situations.
PTSD Service Dogs can literally change the life of a Veteran or other persons with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. PTSD Service dogs can help a person remain calm by preventing people from crowding around or rushing up behind in public places which will provide a comfortable space for the Veteran or PTSD sufferer.
PTSD Service Dogs can also:
help adjust serotonin levels help lower blood pressure help with episodes of depression provide companionship calm their handler preventing people from crowding around or rushing up on their handler
