Seizure/helper dogs

[Abynorml]

Anyone got some info on who I could talk to, to learn to train seizure/helper dogs? I'm looking for another career, I already train dogs on an amateur level, and I personally want a dog companion I'd legally be able to take everywhere, one of my dogs the husky new something was wrong the night I had the T/C kept sitting infront of me and staring, didn't wanna play or be petted, just wanted to sit there and watch me, so I think she might already be tuned to me, I don't think I need a seizure dog, though it wouldnt hurt, mostly I just want to always have one of my 5 dogs with me, there my closest family. If I could learn to train helper dogs for the disabled it would possibly get me out of career that is full of stress and not enough sleep, though I do love traveling.

A few CWE members have companion dogs, or are in the process of getting one. Hopefully they will chime in.

You've probably checked out these resources, but just in case:

Thanks I'd only found one of the links you posted, the Internet is so full of garbage and spam.

This doesn't have anything to do with seizure dogs and being able to take them places, but my cat knows when I have a seizure and I think he even might know when one is coming on.

He'll get on me and won't let me move until he know's I'm completely out of the seizure and it's ok for me to be walking around. He's a really big boy so I can't just stand up when he's on me. Even if I try to push him off of me he still won't budge until I'm ok.
