"...Following general training, seizure response dogs are trained to perform one of the following behaviors, depending on the recipient's need: remain next to the person during the course of a seizure, summon help in a controlled environment, or retrieve a phone prior to the seizure when indicated by the recipient. Certain dogs may even develop the ability to predict and react in advance to an oncoming seizure once they are placed with their recipient."

Interesting, so it looks like it's a total catch-as-catch-can as to whether or not the dog in question is able to smell a seizure coming on. It looks like that's something that cannot be trained or tested for beforehand.

We've had two dobies - one an abused rescue and the other a stray, and they were both loving, wonderful dogs. A great breed.
