For those whose dog alerts: have you had the alert be more obvious (like jumping) or subtle (like nudging), and why?
If your dog alerts is their alert more subtle or obvious? Why did you choose to have you dog do a more subtle or obvious alert?
I’ll start. My dog alerts to a potential catatonia episode my nudging my hand or arm. I chose this more subtle alert, because I don’t want to attract attention to myself and my catatonic episodes aren’t medically dangerous and she alerts hours before they would happen so I had time to notice and take action, and if I fail to listen (which is on me) I am not worried about getting in trouble.
