She has subsequent degrees in basic/advanced dog obedience training as well as specialized hearing dog training. She started a non-profit assistance dog provider program, was head trainer and executive director for 25 years, where she was personally involved in all facets of the program from selection, training, placement and follow through, of hearing, seizure, and Alzheimer’s assistance dogs. Her program was seen in numerous news media including Prime Time Live and Newsweek magazine and won Delta Society’s 1991 hearing dog of the year award. She was elected to Assistance Dogs International’s Board of Directors. She personally created the prototype Alzheimer’s assistance dog as well as those working Alzheimer’s dog teams that followed. Due to lack of funds the program was terminated in 2011 but inquiries for her dogs keep coming. The need for Alzheimer’s dogs continues to grow. No other provider program is training Alzheimer’s dogs to complete the exact job that Patti’s dogs do, therefore, there is no place to refer people to. Additionally, she realizes that once she is no longer available, without written record of how she taught the dogs, this pertinent data will vanish. Because of these factors Patti’s solution--to write a how to train an Alzheimer’s dog book, CAREGIVER FOLLOW ME,--simultaneously, preserves her training methods and keeps the Alzheimer’s dog viable. Chief caregivers can successfully train their own Alzheimer’s dogs in their own homes while safeguarding Patti’s methods for future generations to capitalize upon.weniger sehen
