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

Autism Support Dog Training in Lowell, MA

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 Lowell, MA, 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.

Autism support dogs are trained to ensure the child's safety, preventing them from wandering or entering dangerous situations.
Service dogs can perform deep pressure tasks to help calm children during moments of stress or sensory overload.

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 balanced training 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 Lowell / Chelmsford, 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.

    Richard has been helping Louie and I for a couple sessions now, and we’re big fans. He’s a great teacher, for dog and human alike. He’s quick to not only convey the correct method if you, as the handler, get it wrong, but also the rationale behind it, which helps glue the lesson in your mind a bit better. Louie has taken to his positive and genial personality. His tail wags a million miles an hour at Richard’s arrival, and then he has to deliver a few sloppy goodbye kisses on Richard’s way out the door.

    All of the trainers have been great! We have been working a lot with Laydon and Jocynia. They both have been super kind and patient with us. Today we were at Home Depot with Laydon. Teddy is building up his confidence and has been improving a lot since working with Elite!! Laydon is really nice and is very reassuring which helps us stay on track. We were working on place & navigating in a social setting. Teddy has been learning lots of new skills throughout the training process. Each trainer has taken their time to explain thoroughly and answer any questions that I have. Thank you for the patience and teachings.

    I had my initial consultation for my Rescue pup, a SATO, with Rich today. I’m just starting out. My dog absolutely adored him. I loved his ways with her, I also was so happy hearing him state, “Good Sit” Bailey, as I have one online person I follow and he does the same. He was extremely helpful, loving with my dog, she stole his Entire Treat stick, he was thorough, he was patient with my Mom and myself, as we are exhausted from our management writing about taking her. He had my mom test the e-collar and brought the Hermspringer for my Baby Girl. I asked him if he could ask, X, y & z to the office and when I called he’d already done it. He was a pleasure to work with and Bailey was very saddened when he left. I would Recommend speaking with Debbie, as she’s very knowledgeable and professional, as well as patient with others. She is why I decided to go with. Rich sealed the deal. He helped me through the payment process, had my dog sitting and staying without a word and asked her for some kisses. Calling Debbie afterwards was a very easy process and she is just excellent at what she does. BTW I got my third letter today, apparently when Rich was here, hand delivered, stating Bailey has until the 26th. Debbie’s words of encouragement today are what’s getting me through that. Rich’s Example of what a professional Trainer is, a dog lover and kind man, has me feeling like, going forward with my Sweet little Girl, is All going to be filled with joy and a Happy, Confident pup, with us understanding each other. Thank you 🙏

    Dog Trainer Tiffany, of Dog Training Elite, came by today for our hour long consultation. I was very impressed with her knowledge level and with the plan she made to address my one year old dog Pumpkin's (and my) training. With a plan in place and some things we can do before our next in house session I am very confident that we'll reach our goals. Pumpkin loves learning and practicing new things and she had an enjoyable time interacting with Tiffany.
