I have a Seizure Alert/ Response Service dog. I know of 2 others on this forum that do as well. "FresnoFriend"is a great person on this forum with a beautiful canine partner named Alepo. He also has a monthly newsletter that has lots of resources on service dog providers. Mine was privately trained. Once I got the dog it took another year of advanced training. The dog "just knew", hence the need for advanced training. Cost a lot.
