Scent Service Dog
They may smell it before you even know.
This program focuses on a dog being able to detect the owner's medical conditions through scent to alert them in important situations. A trained scent dog may recognize certain scents, for example, allergens present in food.
​
While this is not a perfect solution, nor a replacement for other medical devices, many owners feel that these dogs provide a sense of comfort to their condition. To increase performance, we will be activating a high scent drive within the dog. Drives can lead to high distraction and this may be prevalent in your dog during this imprinting process. Obedience is required for this program.
​​
To be able to have a successful outcome for this program, the client will need to bring accurate samples. All samples are collected through saliva and can be swabbed with a cotton ball. Before beginning this process, please schedule a complimentary consultation.
​
Because some breeds are more successful than others at these tasks, a guided puppy selection is required for this program. Exceptions may apply if the owner already has a dog, however the dog must pass a rigorous screening for qualification of this program. If the dog does not pass the screening, the dog does not meet the qualifications for this program.
