Are you thinking about training a gluten detection service dog?
You have come to the right place. Introducing a educational videos and handbooks to help you decide if training a gluten or allergen detection dog is right for you. Additionally, they will give you the information you need to determine what type of dog will work best for you, how to find a breeder, how to find a trainer, and what the training process entails. These will not teach you how to train a gluten detection dog, as I believe that process must be done under the supervision of a trainer who specializes in gluten detection. We will dive deeper into the why in the courses.
I partnered with gluten detection trainers Kari Bastyr and Dawn Scheu. Together, we are creating a library of courses to help you start your gluten detection dog training journey.
The first three videos are available now, and you can watch them at any time. They each contain course handbooks with additional links to additional references and resources.

Learn from my mistakes
When I decided to train a gluten detection dog, the only information I had was from a single podcast episode. I impulsively decided I needed to get and train a dog, and I naively jumped into getting a dog and finding a trainer. I chose incorrectly and made many, many mistakes. I don't want you to make the same mistakes I made. These courses will provide you with the information you need to understand if training a gluten detection dog is right for you, and how to start the process.
