HOW DO THEY SIGNAL?
The dogs alert their partners by making physical contact. For a small dog, this would be jumping on the person, for a large dog, touching with paw or nose. If a person is asleep the dog will wake them, then lead them to the source of the sound, whether it is the door, the telephone, or another person. When the dog is at the source of the sound the dog will sit. If its partner has not followed, the dog will return, touch them again, and repeat the sound response sequence.
