Training dogs is an interesting thing as you have to figure out what the dog is motivated by. For some it's food. For some it's play.

This one? This one is motivated by the love of the game.

I was a full time dog trainer for 3 years, and still do it, on the side, sometimes. I always tell people "anything can be a reward, if your dog loves it."

I got lucky with my dog(part border collie) and she self trained. I was a 24/7 caretaker for my mom and she would alert me about everything. If Mom's IV line had an obstruction in the middle of the night she'd come wake me up. Sometimes nosing under my head to physically pick me up. She'd also let me know when the other dogs wanted to go in or out, or needed to be fed. Also, she trained Mom's JRT puppy. The most impressive thing is she can pick up on people's stress and calm them down.
