How are dogs trained to alert to symptoms of psychiatric disorder in the handler?

Psychiatric Service Dog Society
The answer to this question is that dogs are both trained and not-trained to alert. We do not yet know how to screen dogs for alerting ability. Indeed we are dependent upon a dog to naturally demonstrate alerting behavior with his/her handler, before we can shape the behavior through training. Alerting behavior does not look the same in every dog. Some dogs alert by pawing their handler's leg. Others alert by 'misbehaving'. Still others alert by barking or nibbling on toes or fingers.
