Service alert dog Max harasses Liam Kelly, 14, of Gig Harbor after Max noticed Kelly’s blood sugar was elevated during a training session at Canyon Crest K-9 Training Center near Midland last week. Liam has been working with Max for about six months.
Max has a nose for Kelly’s blood-sugar levels, thanks to training from Ron Pace and Jarod Pace of Canyon Crest K9 Training Center in the Summit/Waller Road area. Using actions and rewards, the Paces taught Max to alert Kelly when his blood-sugar levels were too high or too low.
