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

Autism Support Dog Training in Myrtle Beach, SC

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 Myrtle Beach, SC, 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 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 Grand Strand, 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.

    I wanted to take a moment to give all praise and recognition that is due to Mr. Steve, Mrs. Valerie and their team. I am a Type 1 Diabetic with many issues to accompany it. I have been working with Mr. Steve for a little over 7 months now training my Golden Retriever with scent work as well as obedience. This last week has really put my pup to the test and has made her show us all of the training she has received thus far. My Dexcom sensor failed and I didn't realize that I had ZERO remaining sensors on hand with no way of ordering more until January 23rd (thanks to my insurance). So we have gone way back to the old school method of finger pricks, ugh! This time last year I would have been scared for my life with not knowing the uncertainties that lurch in the night with having to revert to finger checks, however, thanks to Mr. Steve....my worries are little to none. He has helped me train Nova (my SDIT) to detect and alert when my sugars are out of range. Just the other night, if it weren't for Nova and Mr. Steve's training, guidance and support he has given us, I would have never known that I was low as I did not feel the low. She laid on top of me and began to lick my face until she woke me up from a deep slumber and we went to "Check" and "fix it". I have been a diabetic for nearly 23 years, Nova is my first SD, and I know that I never would have been able to accomplish this feat and overcome my fears of leaving my kids behind due to "not knowing if I was low" if it weren't for DTE and their tremendous team! I will never be able to say Thank you enough for all of the love, support, help and HOPE you all have given me! Savannah, thank you for being so pleasant and wonderful every time I call to schedule an appointment. You are the little ray of sunshine I need on the days when I panic schedule a month in advance! haha We will be joining our first group session soon and I can't wait to see how far we can go with all of the help from this team of wonderful people! Thank you to you all, you guys are a true blessing to us!
