The Cardiac Alert Dog Training Course is designed to equip dogs with the skills necessary to alert their handler in the event of a cardiac emergency. This specialized training program focuses on teaching dogs how to recognize physiological changes associated with a range of cardiac conditions, including an elevated heart rate and more. It also trains the dog to respond quickly and appropriately in order to alert someone of their condition.
The cost of breeding, raising, and training a dog that can identify cardiac emergencies is estimated to be between $15,000 and $30,000. Nonprofit organizations also provide cardiac alert service dogs at low prices with waiting lists that are lengthy but the typical wait time is 2-5 years. We're going to make it possible for you to stay at home and train your own dog so you may become just as effective as one who was professionally trained. The SDTSI team of trusted behavioral specialists behind our online Certified Intensive Cardiac Alert Dog Training Program has 30+ years of combined professional animal care and alert dog training expertise.

This home study qualification is aimed at individuals who want to train their own Cardiac Alert Dog, or who want to train a Cardiac Alert Dog to assist people suffering from cardiac conditions.
In order to achieve the goal, you must love dogs and be the kind of person that enjoys having a dog with them every minute of the day! Having a cardiac alert dog is a commitment on the part of the owner to take the time necessary to build a bond with a dog to ensure they can work well together.
A Cardiac Alert Dog is specially trained to recognize and alert its owner of an impending cardiac event. The dog may detect subtle changes in the body’s chemical balance or heart rate prior to the onset of symptoms, and can alert its owner to seek medical attention.
Cardiac alert dogs are able to assist their partner in many ways, including:
• Displaying alert behaviors before a cardiac episode occurs
• Remaining close to its owner during a cardiac episode to prevent injuries
• Alerting a caretaker, family member, or finding someone to help
• Fetching an alert device or medication
• Providing physical and emotional support during an episode
• Providing a sense of security and reassurance when away from home
A dog's nose is so much better at smelling than a human's. They can actually tell when a seizure is about to happen by the scent of the chemicals released inside the victim.
Cardiac Alert Dogs are generally trained using a combination of positive reinforcement, operant conditioning, and scent training. Training will involve teaching the dog to respond to subtle changes in their owner’s body chemistry or heart rate, and to alert their owner of an impending cardiac event.
To help kickstart your training process, there are some things you're going to need. These include:
- The Right Dog: Some breeds are more suited to this kind of training than others. Beyond that, each dog's individual personality also impacts on whether they would make a good service dog or not.
- Professional Help: Whether you work with an organization or you hire a trainer with experience dealing with epilepsy assistance, you're going to want to work with someone who knows what they're doing. The way that your dog responds could really be life or death for the person involved.
Under the ADA, service dogs are permitted to accompany you in public, including places where dogs are not typically allowed.
The amount of time required to fully train a Cardiac Alert Dog can vary depending on the individual dog and its trainer. Generally, however, it can take anywhere from 6 months to a year of consistent training before the dog is deemed ready for placement.
be in possession of a very well-behaved seizure alert dog and your dog partner will be Certified as a Service Dog with all the training records by SERVICE DOG TRAINING SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL. A digital copy of the certificate will be delivered to your email inbox within 24 hours.

What Does It Mean To Be Certified?
It means your dog has been trained to perform the work or tasks as a service dog.
The primary purpose of certification is to ensure that your dog is fully trained and able to perform seizure alert service dog work and that you, the handler, understand how to lead your Assistance Dog/Service Dog through everyday situations, such as going to a store, a park, a hospital, a care home or any other public place.
It is essential to be aware that, even though cardiac alert dogs can provide much-needed help and comfort for those with heart issues, they are not a panacea. The frequency and intensity of cardiac episodes may differ from person to person, so some arrhythmias can still happen without any prior notice despite having an alert dog by your side. If you're thinking of getting a cardiac alert dog, it's important to be prepared. Have a plan in place for how to take care of your dog during and following an episode; they may feel dazed or extremely weary afterward. Make sure to do your due diligence on the matter by speaking with both a medical professional and canine specialist before making any decisions!
