You should go to a service dog training specialist. There are different companies that specialize in training dogs so that when people have seizures, the dog knows how come to their assistance right away. A service dog training specialist will focus on conditioning certain behaviors. They'll even act out certain scenarios. Look at their track record, and make sure that they're experienced in the domain of service you expect from your dog. Once they're done training your dog, they'll provide a certificate to prove your service dog has acquired the right proficiency.

My dog has had a few episodes in last few months when his back legs become weak and he is uncoordinated, then lies down. His trunk twitches, resembling muscle contractions for about two to three minutes. His head was held upright and he appears fearful. There is no drooling, and he resumes normal activity afterward. Is this a seizure?

Take him to the vet ASAP. He is most likely having epileptic seizures.

My dog has been shaking a lot in her sleep lately. Could it be a seizure?

My dog does this too. It is probably just a dream, although if it looks like violent shaking, wake her up and consult the family vet.

Anything that will keep the dog from lying in urine and getting urine burn on the skin is a good idea. Other options include puppy pads, which are highly absorbent,...
