Hi, I have been training dogs for a long time and in the last 10 years I've
been training medical alert dogs for seizures, diabetes, lupus, Parkinsons, and
many other issues. I have a chance to get certified as a trainer of
Cancer Detection Dogs - a field that may have started 16 years ago when the
first dog indicated to cancer to now with a real technology that trains dogs to
detect cancel.
The certification class is in November 2016 and costs $4500 just for the class
itself. The class is being delivered in California and I live in Arizona
so would also need funds for living during the time of the class.
I have friends and relatives that have cancer, have died from cancer and I
would really love to be able to advance the field with nearly 100% early
detection of cancer using those dogs I dearly love. You as a donor to
this endeavor would also be able to take credit for advancing this field into
the incredible field it will soon be.
Thank you all so much in advance !Hi, I have been training dogs for a long time and in the last 10 years I've
been training medical alert dogs for epilepsy, diabetes, lupus, Parkinson’s,
and many other issues. I also train dogs
to assist with PTSD, TBI, MST, mobility/stability, assistance including helping
with the laundry, and other forms of assistance dogs.

I have friends
and relatives that have cancer, have died from cancer and I would really love
to be able to advance the field with nearly 100% early detection of cancer
using those dogs I dearly love. I would
love to have many join me in this endeavor in advancing this incredible field
of scent work for dogs. Also as part of this certification class I will be
learning how to train for early detection of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Both diseases are manageable with medication
if caught early enough which is hit or miss with the current methods of
detection.
As a special
introductory method of raising the funds for this certification course, I would
like to offer you a special program in scent detection. This class would be
modeled on the work I do with medical alert dogs. As an example of what I expect from a scent
dog, the final test for scent detection work (diabetes, seizures, Lupus, etc.)
is to blind fold the dog outside on a breezy day. The owner (target) of the alert walks away
from the dog and walks around the 40’ X 40’ space with the scent articles. The scent is presented 12 times and the dog
must alert on at least 10 of them.
The programs are:
Nosework I – Odor
targeting, recognition and detection basics
Nosework II –
Odor targeting, recognition and detection advanced
Nosework III
- Odor detection in the service and medical
world
Nosework Games
and Troubleshooting – games to help with detection as well as introducing other
ways to use that fabulous canine nose.
These programs
can either be done as a group class or privately. Group is $250 for 6 weeks and Private
sessions are $600 for 6 sessions. Group
classes will be held on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings at 9am. Group classes are small at no more than 5
dogs. Private lessons will be done on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings at 6pm.
My dogs will be part of these programs. My current service dog will be
the demo dog for Nosework Games and Troubleshooting. The service dog in training will be featured
in Nosework I and II and the retired service dog will be teaching Nosework III.
All dogs that do
the three Nosework programs will be considered first to become Cancer Detection
Dogs. If you would like to join us,
please email Jamie at coach @ playyourwayobedience.com for more information
and/or forms for the programs.
Thank you all so
very much in advance !
