Guest guest Posted April 22, 2010 Report Share Posted April 22, 2010 I have been partnered with a service dog for 13 years now. His name is Neutron, and he is a Chiuhuahua. He's getting on in years, as he is at least 14, maybe older. The vet says his kidneys are starting to go :^( I'm doing as much as i can for him, but I'm also thinking ahead. I trained him myself (I have many years experience as a dog trainer). I have a new puppy that I bred myself. I have been raising him since birth to be my next service dog. Besides the usual stuff, it just occurred to me that maybe I can teach him to smell out gluten in foods! Wouldn't that be WONDERFUL??? I could let him sniff all my food, and tell me if it has any gluten in it. I'm not sure exactly how to do this, but I am going to look into it. If i can do it, I may be able to train dogs for other celiacs. Imagine being able to go to a restaurant and not have to be worried?
