Just wanted to say thank you! I am about to start training a dog to alert a deaf person. This is GREAT information. I appreciate that you have made it public and for people to find!
This is amazing, i recently fractured my skull and as a result have severely damaged my hearing. In my left ear I have no hearing left at all so depending on where i am in the house determines weather or not i hear my phone or the door bell ring etc. It is fine when my parents are home but when i am alone it is sometimes difficult. I am going to start training my dog today, thank you so much for this video!
Love this vid...i love what service dogs do for their owners, they are soo awesome:)) I naturally use 'show me' with my dogs when they are trying to comunicate with me about somthing either they want to go out or want something like a toy up a height. they go and signal by looking at what they want. I could fine tune this behaviour into more specific and stronger alerting. Thankyou:)
This is great!! My dad has asthma, and im trying to train my dog to alert him to certain things and such, because he forgets, or doesnt here his reminder . If i have a success at training ill consider a medical alert dog.
@Majoofi I am not sure I understand the question. If you are asking if we are giving Jessie up (perhaps thinking we trained her for a client?), the answer is no. She is our family dog and my demo dog that helps me learn to train service tasks so I can help others train their own service dogs. She is not, nor ever intended to be a service dog. However, she gets all the fun of being trained as one!
-to indicate a lost item by smell, sound or sight. There may be objects you do not want the dog to pick up or indicate but do need to know the location of. To indicate an allergen near the handler.To find a person. It all depends on what you train them to show you.
You can use pretty much whatever works for you. A down, sit, even a stretch up the wall under the alarm, as long as it is something that is meaningful you in the situation.
@supernaturalbc2009 I've just had another listen to other's videos on youtube and it appears that when a voice over is used, the volume of the voice is decreased (as well as they can control the sounds on the actual footage). Compared to the others, the voice overs on my uploaded videos heard from my computer is a little less loud than theirs, but not significantly so. This points to it possibly being a mic function.
@shelbyfav1 There are tools that can record sounds with playback on demand, apps for computers and phones that make many different sounds etc. The oven timer is an easy one as there are portal digital kitchen timers that sound exaclty like the stove top one. Also, once the dog starts understanding the concept of sound alerts (comes faster with each new sound trained) they can quickly learn a new sound so even if it is inconvenient, you can still use it to train (such as a smoke detector).
@suezn5 I've had a few others mention this. It may be the mic I use or their computer volume settings. If I increase the volume settings on the video itself, it adds background white noise. This is interesting for me as in person I have a loud clear speaking voice and do alot of public speaking! For most of my videos there are also subtitles (CC) that may help if you don't want to crank it up. New video/audio equipment may be in my future but that won't help the ones already made. LOL!
I don't understand why Jessie doesn't nudge your knee when you set the alarm inside the upside-down container when teaching "Show Me". Doesn't she already know that the alarm means to nudge your leg (from training a one way alert)?
I enjoy your videos, Donna, but the sound is really really low on all of them. Just thought I'd mention that. When I switch from yours to another youtubers video the sound is normal, so I'm wondering if it is your recording level.
Donna, what would the show-me behavior be if the sound isn't small and portable like an alarm clock, for example a smoke alarm? Maybe a down beneath the sound if it's coming from the ceiling?
I love your videos. They are so informative and easy to follow. If you get a chance come and see Koby on my channel. I have used your techniques for some of his tricks. Thanks again.
Can someone please give me an example of how a service dog can apply this 'show me' command to everyday life? What kind of situation would that be used in, for example? Im simpky confused. Thank You.
Danni C I am deaf in one ear and cannot tell where a beep or alarm is coming from. I once spent 3 weeks trying to find where an all night and early morning loud beep was coming from. I want to train my dog to be able to "find the beep" to let me know. Also to help find lost cell phone when I remotely set it to chime while trying to find it. At this point the best I can do is be able to tell if it is in the house or not.
I have epilepsy with "cognitive impairment." I don't get an "aura" (sound, smell, feeling, etc.) that alerts me to an oncoming seizure. The only way I know I've had one is when I wake up and find myself on the floor when I hadn't been moments before. I'm teaching my puppy to alert me to an oncoming seizure by leading me to the middle of my living room. He alerts me by putting his paws on my knees. "Show me" will take me to my living room so I can lay down on the floor. So, for my situation, "show me" will tell my dog to take me to my "safety zone" before a seizure hits.
are you going to have to give her up to someone? I'd hate to let go of her. when you give a service dog to the client(?) you must do an extensive training with them so the behaviors don't fade
This video was exactly what I was looking for to train a hearing dog for deaf people. Thank you.
Happy to help!

Super helpful - thank you - such clear, clean training. Your dog is a credit to you x
Thank you! Jessie enjoyed it!

I’m going to be training my dog on service dog work so this is so helpful! Thank you for these videos! ❤️

OMG I'm so amazed at how easy you make it look!!! I cannot wait to try these on my puppy!
Tek it step by step. Break it down further if you need to-and it IS easy and fun! LOL!
+Donna Hill (Clicker Training Dogs) thanks Donna!!

Great ideas here! I'm going to be coming back to watch it often.

Excellent video! You and Jessie are awesome together! Favorited :)
Any possibility you could train a dog to be a asthma alert dog?
And I posted this comment before the end of the video! Lol! My mistake!
I don't understand why Jessie doesn't nudge your knee when you set the alarm inside the upside-down container when teaching "Show Me". Doesn't she already know that the alarm means to nudge your leg (from training a one way alert)?
Great video thank you for posting it

How would you apply this to alerting to signs of anxiety? (Mine are running at legs and obsessive scratching)
+dinofiregirl cue the new alert behavior before you do the anxiety behavior.
i have one questtion. how do u train a dog to do it to other sounds. i mean its not like i can put a stove under a cup. ya know what i mean?
