Type
Seizure Response Dogs
Job
To respond to their handler’s seizures via trained tasks. The dog may retrieve medication, utilize deep pressure stimulation to end a seizure early, fetch a nearby person to help or call 911. Other trained tasks are common as well.

Gear
Typically no special gear required.
Signs
Paws For Ability is an excellent resource for this line of Service Dog, unfortunately this site can not help you “train” this particular type of service dog.
Notes
Seizure Alert Dogs fall under this category. Please keep in mind that you cannot train a Seizure Response Dog to alert to seizures — it must be something the dog comes to do naturally via association with their human partner and an intuitive nature.
