I knew they were scam artists from the minute I saw them on D-Life, and it’s half the reason I don’t have much to do with D-Life.
Won’t mention the name, but there is a outit in Missouri, who have been on D-Life, who is being sued by the Attorney General in Missouiri because the dogs aren’t doing their job.
Now, I’ll go back and say that I do believe dogs can be trained to alert on hypoglymic eposides and they probably work as well if not better than CGMS system. And since I’m an experienced CGMS user I won’t claim that either are that reliable.
I know, since I am a former drug dog trainer, that I could train a dog to do the job, but I don’t want a service dog. Might change my mind someday, but I like having them as partners, and service dogs aren’t really partners, they really are the boss if you are going to be able to rely on them. You’d understand the distinction if you have ever worked with a working dog.
And yes, when I did K9 work I had working dogs and agility dogs, and the relation isn’t the same.
