• The signal dog replaces hearing and signals different sounds to deaf people or those who have different hearing and combined defects.

• The dog in the marking blanket draws the attention of the surroundings to the fact that it accompanies a deaf person. At first glance, hearing loss is not recognizable to other people, and unpleasant situations can arise during communication. Thanks to the signal dog, the deaf client can overcome these situations.

• The signal dog can be large or small and is trained using special aids such as a clicker, whistle, vibrating collar or gestures.

• In a home environment, the signal dog signals an alarm clock, telephone, bell, caller, crying baby, home appliances or alarm.

Seizure disorders

Assistance signal dog for people with seizure disorders

• A person with epilepsy and other seizures does not know in advance when the attack will affect them and may not recognize any symptoms. The dog can detect an oncoming attack in advance. At first glance, the public does not recognize that a person has an epileptic seizure and there is often no timely call for professional help.

• In the marking blanket, the dog draws attention to the fact that it accompanies a person with possible attacks.

• The very presence of a signal dog relieves the stress of a person with seizures, because they know that they are not alone in a difficult situation. This can lead to a de facto decrease in seizures or reduce their symptoms and course.

• The signal dog brings medicine at home, signals for help, brings a phone, warms a person during an attack. Outside, the dog brings help only if there is not much traffic in the area. In a busy environment, the dog is in the immediate vicinity of its owner, to make it clear that the neighborhood should call for professional help.
