A system for alerting service animals to perform specified tasks generally includes an alert device which provides a first and a second haptic alert from an alert device worn by a service animal and a monitoring device worn by a handler. The monitoring device is programmed to monitor a physiologic parameter of the handler and has a first mode programmed to transmit a first actuation signal to the alert device when the physiologic parameter exceeds a first threshold such that the alert device provides the first haptic alert to the service animal and a second mode programmed to transmit a second actuation signal to the alert device when the physiologic parameter exceeds a second threshold such that the alert device provides the haptic alert to the service animal. The auditory alert is correlated to a first task and the second haptic alert is correlated to a second task.
A method of training a service animal to alleviate a mental health condition of a handler, comprising:
