Person and dog companionship

Here at Lone Star Diabetic Alert Dogs, LLC, we train diabetic alert service dogs for those who need them most. Diabetic alert dogs (DADs) are trained to detect physiological changes in their handler's body, which points to the rise or fall in blood sugar levels. Our Diabetic Alert Dogs in Chattanooga are trained to use their smell to identify chemical changes in their handler's body. Even if you can't sense it, our bodies release a specific scent as our blood sugar spikes. Trained dogs can detect this and notify the handler through pawing, barking, licking, or medicine retrieval. Unlike other companies, we do not do "mass training", we prefer quality over quantity. We train our canines not just to be alert dogs, but also to be companions for life!
