A woman who suffers from seizures shared a training video which highlights how her service dog Colt helps her from injuring herself.

Janaye endured a traumatic brain injury in 2012, which makes it extremely dangerous if she were to hit her head, such as in a seizure. Thankfully, her pup Colt is always by her side to protect her from further injury.

Janaye recently released a training video, which demonstrates how Colt can help her in this situation

"This is just us keeping up with his training," Janaye wrote on YouTube. "I have to test him on everything that he knows often to make sure he still does it all reliably. He is trained to do this in a certain way that keeps both him and me safe."

Janaye has a current GoFundMe crowdfunding campaign in order to help her raise money for a SmartDrive wheelchair, which will help her and Colt move around more easily.

You can follow Colt and Janaye's progress on Instagram and YouTube.
