Many individuals with type 1 diabetes spend their days constantly monitoring their blood sugar levels in order to prevent symptoms of hypoglycemia. If left untreated, low blood sugar levels can lead to seizures, blackouts, and even comas. There are early symptoms of hypoglycemia, such as sweating, shaking, or confusion, however, after a few years, a person with type 1 diabetes may lose their ability to feel these symptoms as they develop Hypoglycemia Unawareness.

Living a balanced life with Type 1 diabetes isn't always easy. With the support of a diabetic alert dog training in Columbia, SC, that balance becomes a possibility. Your diabetic alert dog is a service dog you can take anywhere and who will aid you with alerting for stability, safety, and support.

    Mr. Robert is the best trainer around. Our Bernedoodle was only 3 months old when he started working with him and us, and you can see the difference. I wouldn't hesitate to ask for Robert when you call as the training is worth every penny!

    We had a really wonderful experience working with the team to train our dog, Charlie, as a service dog. We had the pleasure of working with Justin, Loghin, Amber, and Annabelle. The patience, flexibility, encouragement, and kindness from each of them was more than we could ask for. Having Charlie trained has been tremendously helpful for our family. And my son is so happy that he can now have Charlie with him all the time to help him feel calm and secure. Words just cannot express how grateful I am.

    Mrs. Debbie is an absolutely amazing dog trainer! I can’t say enough good things about her knowledge, patience, and dedication. In 3 weeks, I’ve seen incredible progress with my puppy. The difference in her behavior and focus has been amazing, and it’s all thanks to Mrs. Debbie’s training techniques and genuine care for both Azula and me. She takes the time to explain everything, answers questions, and makes sure you’re confident continuing the training at home. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and wants us to succeed. If you’re looking for a trainer who is professional, encouraging, and gets real results, I highly recommend Mrs. Debbie. Azula has come so far in such a short time, and I’m excited to see how much more she continues to grow. Thank you, Mrs. Debbie, for everything you’ve done for Azula!

    Although my dog was well into the process of being trained before meeting Justin and his team, Dog Training Elite Midlands really helped me get Dezl where he needed to be and finish him out nicely as a Therapy Dog. I highly recommend Justin and his team as they are very patient and are very passionate about what they do.

    Justin and Debra are so patient, positive and encouraging with their guidance with me during training. I’m seeing such a big change in my 2 dogs. My female shepherd was not fond of men at all. She now responds positively to Justin. My Great Dane is more respectful and following commands regularly.

    Justin demonstrated and explained the methods and various techniques used. Very polite and pleasant and Louie Is Also I would like to add that most of our sessions have been led by Debbie. She shows great patience and affection with our two young dogs and has helped us understand their behavior and how to correct it. She is prompt and always reminds us to reach out if we have any questions.

    I’m applying so many great things I’ve learned from Annabelle towards the obedience of my dog, Sercy. Annabelle was very professional, had a great disposition in each training session, and proved to be an excellent instructor. Through her I‘ve gained the confidence I need to handle obedience and enjoy interacting with my dog for many years to come! A couple of years ago Sercy had boarding/training with another company. It proved unsuccessful because I wasn’t able to attend the sessions due to the travel distance. Now, with Dog Training Elite, we did it the right way!

    The team worked with us in a way we didn't anticipate. Annabelle , our regular awesome trainer was present. Justin, who did our initial assessment was here, and Rick, who we just met today. They worked with both my dogs to assess progress and additional needs mid way of training. One pup needs increased work with male humans. The other needs work on aggression, which was clarified today. We will work on skills already taught and demonstrated plus add the male trainer component. We look forward to more progress.

    We had our first training session with Debbie. She explained and demonstrated everything thoroughly, shared her background and experience and left us with homework. Looking forward to our next session.

    Justin has been fantastic! We adopted Remy last July and immediately knew there was something special about him. Justin helped us take him from stray shelter pup to a certified hospital therapy dog! We are also reaching out to libraries and grief groups to see if anyone needs a large, silly but calm, dog who is trained to work in therapy settings!
