I've only seen one alert dog and it had a service dog vest with saddle bags to carry both insulin, and snacks.

Theoretically since you are involved in training an alert dog, you can train it to signal in lots of different wasy, from putting it's paws on you, to bringing a specific toy, getting testing supplies, even getting another person. Don't think dragging you around, getting excited and wiggly would be a very good alert signal. It sounds more like my dog acted when not leach trained very well yet (and I won't take her many places yet because of it). She just loves people and gets excited around them and wants to greet every one of them. When I got thru a drive thru, I can roll the back window of my car down, she will stick her head out and say "Hello" The attendant usual gives her something because she turns on the cute happy puppy thing AND it sounds like hello.
