Meet Zeus
Zeus, an Australian shepherd, is trained to detect gluten in foods. We were honored to train Zeus. When he detects gluten, he raises his paw and he turns his head when no gluten is detected.
Zeus was trained for Evelyn Lapadat, a young lady in Indiana, who struggles with celiac disease that often brings joint pain, stiffness and fatigue. Since having the assistance from Zeus, Evelyn states,
“I haven’t gotten sick in a really long time and it’s like a really big relief.”
Kathy Watters
Dog trainers can earn professional certifications although it is not a requirement to work in the field. Reputable trainers seek certification with one of the major certification organizations and some are certified with multiple groups. Here at Nosey DDP, we feel professional certification sets us apart from other trainers and allows us to work with you to develop a service dog specialized for almost any need.
Kathy specializes in scent detection training. With over 20 years of experience training and she has continues to develop training for other allergens.
