Training your dog to interrupt repetitive behaviors or alert to oncoming medical episodes, like anxiety attacks, can make living with your disability easier and meets ADA service dog task qualifications. Nose boop alerts and gentle chin rest interruptions can help bring attention to repetitive or unwanted behaviors, bring the handler back to the present moment, or alert to an impending medical episode such as escalating anxiety or panic that has physical precursors. In this course you'll learn to train two different alert and/or interruption behaviors including the nose press or "Nose Boop" Alert/Interruption Behavior and the Chin Rest on Leg Alert/Interruption. You will then learn to pair that alert with a physical behavior that you are exhibiting so that when you do a specific behavior your dog approaches you and alerts to this behavior via a nose boop to your leg, hip, or hand or a chin rest on your leg. The goal of training this alert is to have your dog bring attention to or interrupt specific behaviors so that you can take action on, or ask your dog to take action on your behalf. This course is designed for everyone from beginners, to advanced trainers, to professional trainers looking to take on service dog clients.
