The Journey is rooted  deep in teaching, training and learning. While on a recent trip with Freedom Hunters, Heath met a veteran with a medical alert K9. After a conversation with the owner, Brian, Heath decided to learn more about how we are using dogs to prevent medical emergencies. In this episode Heath talks to Dr. Jennifer Cattet about the process of selection, training and the vital roll these dogs play in the medical world. Dr Cattet received her PHD in animal behavior and psychology. She started a K9 program in the prison system in 2008 and quickly learned how the dog could assist on the medical side with inmates. What we learn is no matter what task, function or purpose we all use the dogs for their superior senses and abilities. The natural instincts of the dog are going to blow your mind on this episode of the Journey.
