Improve Family Life and Emotional Well-Being with an Autism Support Dog

Autism Support Dog Training in Augusta / Aiken, GA

Service dogs provide emotional support for children with autism and a sense of security for the entire family. Families often experience reduced stress, allowing them to engage more comfortably in public and feel less anxious at home. With our autism support dog training in Augusta / Aiken, GA, we help enhance safety and reduce emotional outbursts, allowing children with autism to participate more fully in family activities.

Children with autism often feel isolated, and a service dog becomes a constant companion, offering connection and support. These dogs not only help children reintegrate into social settings but have been shown to reduce cortisol levels, providing measurable relief for children with autism and those prone to stress.

Understanding Autism Support Dogs

Key Benefits

There has been an enormous increase in the use of service dogs as a powerful tool in advancing and supporting those with autism. The autism world is widely accepting and promoting service dogs as overwhelming results come in showing that not only is a child’s psychological state improved, but that of the entire family is as well. A service dog can unlock levels of connection and progress that is otherwise very difficult to obtain with autism.

Here's how we train your dog to be a reliable, helpful companion:

  1. Getting to Know Your Needs and Dog's Personality: We begin by learning about your family’s specific needs, challenges, and goals. Understanding your child’s unique requirements and your dog’s personality allows us to tailor the training program for the best results. We take into account your dog’s temperament and natural instincts to ensure they are the right fit for autism support training.
  2. Specialized Training: Once we’ve developed a personalized training plan, we begin specialized training sessions that focus on skills vital to autism support, such as sensory assistance, deep pressure tasks, redirecting repetitive behaviors, and ensuring safety. We use positive reinforcement techniques to create a strong bond between your child and the dog, ensuring a seamless integration into your family life.
  3. Ongoing Support & Communication: Our relationship doesn’t end when the training is complete. We provide ongoing support to ensure your dog continues to meet your child’s needs as they grow. We maintain regular communication and are available for any follow-up training, guidance, or questions that arise after the program.

At Dog Training Elite Augusta, our main priority is the safety of your family. We take service training seriously, ensuring that both your dog and children feel safe, loved, and supported.

    We’ve LOVED our experience with Dog Training Elite. Currently they are working with us to turn our now 1yr old Labrador into a service dog for our profoundly Autistic son. DTE has been a valuable resource every step of the way. The entire team functions cohesively, the support is top notch, and the experience/insight is true. Recently we’ve had the opportunity to work with Dontevia and we have so enjoyed her energy, enthusiasm, and insight. She is fun to work with and reads the dog and environment very well. We have no doubt with this company and with our trainer - that we will see results and success that will truly last a lifetime.

    Dontevia M. is absolutely AMAZING. She has such amazing energy and she’s so patient. Solace responds very well to her direction and she jumps in to take over as soon as she sees my anxiety levels rising. Working with her restored my hope and provided the reassurance I needed.

    Dontevia has been so wonderful. She is so calm with my shy skittish dog. As an instructor she is very clear and observant of my dog’s subtle cues. She has a gentle personality and nice sense of humor.
