A while back, we were contacted about training a service/detection dog for narcolepsy/Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS). After coming up with a plan, I asked the owner to begin collecting odor samples. These samples were ranked on a 1-10 scale, with 1 being sort of tired and distracted and 10 being severely tired and distracted. Initially, I imprinted 'Maddie' on the lower ends of the odor scale, and a reward would be offered for a slight indication. As training progressed, Avery and I began demanding more focus, determination, and grit from Maddie as we went up the odor scale. Our thought was that as the EDS became more severe and urgent, Maddie needed to paw, bark, or nibble her owner to wake her and possibly prevent a dangerous situation. Next, we proofed Maddie off cotton, plastic, and other common odors present during our initial training. Finally, we had to teach Maddie that a reward only comes with the odor present directly from a human. This was important because Maddie could not alert to dirty clothes worn previously during an EDS attack. Today marks Maddie's first day as a full-blown service dog, and we look forward to hearing about her usefulness! TW Houk Soldiers and Dogs
