Sugar Dogs International, Inc.
Unique life coaching for diabetics & their diabetic alert service dogs (or disabled persons & their medical alert service dogs) as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), as amended and their medical alert service dogs.
We offer training to diabetics, epileptics, PTSD and other stressors, mobility and other disabled persons as defined by the ADA who are interested in utilizing Poodles as diabetic alert service dogs, epileptic alert service dogs, PTSD alert service dogs, psychological alert service dogs, mobility assistance service dogs, and medical alert service dogs including anxiety, depression, hypertension, cardiac challenges.
Dogs International will no longer accept as clients those persons challenged with mental illness of any type (whether diagnosed or undiagnosed with obvious aggressive, mean or evil behavior), autistic disorders, ADD, ADHD, ASD, chronic GAD, etc. This declination includes children, teens and adults who cannot control their anger, mood, temper, behavior or actions.
While other breeds may alert, due to prevalent allergies, Sugar Dogs International prefers to work with Poodles. Plus Poodles are smart and capable of using independent judgment! Isn’t that what you want? A service dog that is smart? Of course it is! So what are you waiting for? Get a Poodle. They spontaneously alert for diabetes, cancer, heart challenges and other medical challenges. The touch therapy of petting an animal lowers blood pressure and creates calmness. Yes, these are scientific facts.
We guarantee that you do NOT want a service dog that is standing around waiting on a treat. Where’s the emergency service in that behavior? Therefore, you do not want a “food driven” breed of dog. You want a Poodle. Don’t want a frou-frou dog? Then don’t get a frou-frou style of haircut for your Poodle. Don’t want a pom pom tail? Don’t get one, it’s that easy. We recommend a kennel clip. It’s the easiest to care for at home. NOTE: Poodles have hair like humans, not fur like most other dogs. Just like people, Poodles need regular haircuts and regular grooming, at least every eight (8) weeks.
A diabetic alert service dog is not a replacement for blood glucose (BG) testing. In fact, lots of blood glucose testing is required to train a Poodle to be a diabetic alert service dog. That is unless your Sugar Dog alerts spontaneously. Canines do alert spontaneously (without training) for many medical challenges, BUT if you don’t test, how will you know that your dog is alerting? If you have a Poodle, it may be alerting now. (Read Irene & Cappy’s Sugar Dog Story on this website). Our promise is: If the Poodle loves you, it will alert. There is a caveat, YOU must love the Poodle too! Our training program is love-based.
We offer a love based training method, i.e., we do not allow hitting the service dog as this is a legally punishable criminal offense. We also do not allow dog training with an obedience trainer who recommends jerking the se
