I have the opposite problem regarding my rescue labs attitude to hypos.
She has decided it's her mission in life to eat all of my hypo treatments stashed around the house, so far she has eaten
Nougat 90gm bar minus a small section for a treated hypo.
Kendal mint cake minus 1 square
Gluten free ginger biscuits taken from a sealed container.
1 tube of liquid glucose removed from bum bag by undoing the zip with her teeth
1 bag of unopened sour sweet and they were sour as well.

I hasten to add this has been over a period of 4 months and not all in one go. :) I have now resorted to shutting her in the hallway with treat toys and a bone when I leave the house now.

Well??

I've come to the conclusion that he might well smell a hypo. But associates it with the promise of food on the go....

I'm currently coming up off a 2.2er. Whilst treating myself, I'm also passing out the dog treats too...

What a little sh17.

People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
My cat only jumps on to settee above my head when my levels are too high.
Only had her for 4 months...

Your dog looks gorgeous! What a star! My equally gorgeous but rather old now border collie has no idea about my needs! However my cat....frequently wakes me in the night, always thought he had his own agenda but once roused my sugar levels are usually low! I've had him from kitten and he is always very persistent when he wakes me at night, very vocal, until I wake and I usually get up in a haze, thinking he needs letting out,(don't have a cat flap) when I come too, I feel a bit strange, do a test, and low and behold...bit on the low side! Had him ten years and this has happened quite frequently over the years, (I do have a lot of night hypos) So hypo cats.....bit hard to train me thinks;)

Don't get muddled! Gravy bones or any other dog treats take sooooo much longer for me to recover! meanwhile your dog is doing somersaults on jelly babes!!:arghh:
