Seizure Response Dog in Indianapolis, IN

Restoring Independence with Medical Response Dogs

Epilepsy affects approximately 3.4 million Americans and can significantly impact their daily routines. Many individuals with epilepsy avoid going out in public due to the fear of seizures and the potential risks, such as falling or injury. This leads to a loss of independence and a reduced quality of life. Fortunately, service dogs trained specifically for epilepsy can provide critical support.

Medical Response Dogs with Indianapolis seizure alert dog training alert their caretakers and those nearby of an imminent seizure, helping prevent falls and injuries. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), individuals with epilepsy can bring their service dogs into public spaces, empowering them to regain independence and improve their quality of life.

Medical Response Dogs can detect changes in a person’s scent that occur just before a seizure, allowing them to warn their caretakers in advance. This early warning can provide enough time to seek safety and avoid injury. Almost any dog with the right temperament can be trained to perform these tasks.

If you or a loved one suffers from epilepsy, a specialized Medical Response Dog training program can be life-changing. Dog Training Elite offers programs tailored to train dogs as Medical Response Dogs, providing vital assistance to those living with epilepsy.

For specialized training, it is best to start with puppies. Our Medical Response Dog training program is intensive and prepares your dog for a life of service.

Service dogs must have a calm temperament and they must be first trained in obedience. Dogs that have aggressive, shy, or disobedient characteristics cannot be service dogs. After completing obedience programs, service dogs must undergo specialized skill training. An expert assessment will determine whether or not the dog is suited for medical alert services at this point. If so, they dog will be trained to detect oncoming seizures and warn the individual. Response dogs warn their caretakers in various ways, including: barking, close eye contact, pawing or licking, and or circling. Additional behaviors can be taught to protect the caretaker, such as breaking a fall by standing behind the individual, turning on lights or opening doors, and alerting others to the situation.

If you are looking for Indianapolis seizure alert dog training to assist an individual with epilepsy, Dog Training Elite is here to help. Our expert trainers are experienced with various types of service dog training programs. Medical Response service dogs can bring independence, increased quality of love, and companionship.

    Dog training elite of Indianapolis has been amazing from the start. Every staff member has been polite and helpful. Elijah has been a god send. Having a child need a service dog presents many challenges. Elijah has not ony been amazing with the dog but with my child who is training the dog. His calm demeanor and patience is refreshing.

    The whole team and Our trainer Elijah is wonderful. He's a great problem solver at figuring out what your individual dog needs. He makes learning commands easy to understand. He has a passion for what he does and it comes through with each session. We couldn't have had a better trainer. It's obvious he loves what he does. We couldn't have picked a better company to help us train our DAD (Diabetic Alert Dog). Shadow is in the best hands.

    We are 2 sessions into training our dog, and the results are amazing. Eli is so knowledgeable and articulate. He really explains what we are doing, and also why we are doing it. The attention to detail is wonderful, and we have seen amazing changes in just one week. I am excited to see how well Murphy does in another month! I would absolutely recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone who wants to see change with their dog.

    Josh has been absolutely incredible with our Duke. He explains each skill in detail, providing demonstrations, and having us demonstrate as well. He always takes the time to answer our questions, even beyond basic obedience skills.

    Having your dog trained can be a big step for owners. Whether that’s cost, time commitment, and questioning whether it’s successful or not. After sending my dog to Dog Elite Training I truly understood a different meaning to ownership and companionship. From the convenience of dropping off and picking up, to success from the trainings, and pure enthusiasm the staff brought everyday. I couldn’t recommend Dog Elite Training enough. As much as the training is for your pet, it’s more for their owner. Within 10 days of training I can no go about my day and enjoy every second with my dog without stress or worry. Having pure trust in my dog is now something I’ll have for a very long time.

    Josh was absolutely amazing, every single time. He always showed professionalism, friendliness, compassion, expertise, communicativeness, patience, flexibility and humor. Our dog is a rescued pitbull who came from a bad situation and acted out in fear and confusion. We'd tried many techniques and even sent him for a weekend training on a remote farm with dog gurus - seriously, we tried everything! But some of his problematic behaviors just wouldn't stop. Josh helped us to understand our dog's actual needs and showed us how to meet them. With our dog's abundance of health issues when we took him on, we weren't surprised to see that he was also not the brightest dog out there. We always said "he's got no brain, but the biggest heart". Josh came along and trained us to train our dog. Turns out he's no dummy at all and within 1 session his behavior AND confidence were dramatically improved. Because of Josh and this training program we now have full confidence in our ability to guide our rescue pit through a safe, happy, fulfilling, and social life. People have commented on how well behaved he is and we're so proud that he is empowered to show others in public the sweet, loving boy we've always known him to be at home. Thanks, Josh!!!

    Josh came to our home for an in home session following two weeks of day camp training. Douglas, our dog, was really excited to see him! He helped us practice with some of the triggers we encounter at home and encouraged us is the use of what was taught at camp!

    Elijah did a great job, focusing on the problem behaviors I reported. I’ve always been impressed with DTE training staff, during one-on-one lessons and then during group classes. Elijah’s explanations, methods, instructions were clear and easy to follow. I’m confident our pup will catch on quickly with consistent practice and we’ll both be able to enjoy our walks again soon.

    I really appreciate Elijah from Dog Training Elite as he has helped me so much in training my puppy. I love the program DTE offered me and get so many compliments on how well mannered my puppy is. My neighbors have been very complimentary on my puppys progress too!!! Program well put together with concise directions from my trainer. If i have questions in between sessions I can reach out to my trainer which has been wonderful. They worked with me in personalizing sessions as needed to address any concerns or problems I had in training my puppy. Group classes review and reinforce what has been learned in individual sessions. A great help. Elijah is truly a dog whisperer!!!!

    My pup was very stubborn and had terrible recall. This dog training has made her one of the easiest pups to walk and call back. Worth every penny.

    My dog is a Cane Corso so proper training was a priority. I researched the available options before deciding to train with Dog Training Elite. I asked them lots of questions and let them know my expectations. The preliminary interview with the company owner, Doug, and our family (including our dog) satisfied my expectations. The first training session was great. Our trainer was Josh. We had the best first session learning how consistent and clear commands make for quick understanding. Our dog responded to Josh better than I anticipated.
