]]> Comment on Questions to ask while searching for an alert dog by Jennifer http://www.diabeticalertdog.com/blog/2009/10/01/questions-to-ask-while-searching-for-an-alert-dog/comment-page-1/#comment-194 Jennifer Sat, 23 Jan 2010 20:10:51 +0000 http://www.diabeticalertdog.com/blog/?p=67#comment-194 Hi, My old poodle who died at nearly 16 just seemed to know when I was low and would wake me in the night. I was usually pretty weak and shaky by the time I sat up, but it was better than not alerting me. It was just a natural behavior with my dog. I now have a new poodle who is very well behaved, 18 months old. I know what she likes for her training treats and have been working with sit and stay. I have started clicking my tongue when she stays. Then I say come and give her the treat. However when it comes to the most important part, do I have to induce low bgs? How do I train her to read me? I can't find any information on how to train her for this. I am allergic to most dogs, so I have to have a poodle. She primarily is my companion, but it would be great to have her as my DAD. And eventually she could save my life as I begin to need more insulin. Thank you Hi,

does seth take rex to school yet? we chose not to send the dogs to school this year as malia is extremely hormonal and can’t pay attention to a nat let alone a dog! so as she gets back to normal we will elt her take him to school again. does seth take him to friends houses? how do they do? how are the parents about it. we have gotten mixed reactions, even lost a friend or 2. we like our dog more!

they are such a cute pair!

We have not gotten our dog yet but I have had some of the teachers express concerns: students being mean to the dog, potty breaks, the dog being a distraction to students who already have attention issues. Have you found any of these to be problems and how have you dealt with them? Patience

I totally and completely agree. Mr Darcy is a HUGE part of our lives - each member of our family has a unique relationship with him and none of us can remember life without Mr D ! He is the best and we have ZERO regrets! There IS a lot of work, but the rewards are sooo worthy of the efforts! patience, your comment made me smile! I totally and completely agree.

When there is a cure for diabetes , he will still make us the happiest family ever. He is part of us now and we are so grateful he decided to spend his life with us and honored that he loves us.

Reality is that it is HARD - it is a LOT of responisbility for a child/ for the parents. I always tell families that it is MORE work, not less! Initially it is MORE finger sticks, MORE money, LESS sleep, MORE to manage. . . and it can be OVERWHELMING to a child to have a dog with them so much! I smiled when you mentioned "the tail" - they *DO* seem to work overtime and can cause toys to tumble, etc!! anyway, thanks for the honest perspective . . A DAD can be a super tool for daibetes management, but it is NOT without its drawbacks, especially in a child's world !
