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

Autism Support Dog Training in Salt Lake City, UT

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 Salt Lake City, UT, 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.

Autism support dogs foster greater independence by assisting with daily tasks and offering emotional reassurance.
Interaction with a service dog can help children expand their vocabulary through verbal commands and communication.

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.

The steady, calming presence of a service dog helps reduce overall anxiety and creates a more peaceful atmosphere.

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 Salt Lake City, 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 couldn’t be more impressed with Dog Training Elite and their trainer, Dallin! From the start, their professionalism and expertise stood out. Clyde, my small golden doodle, has transformed into a well-mannered and confident companion thanks to Dallin’s incredible work. The training sessions were tailored to Clyde’s needs, and the progress he made was remarkable. Dallin not only trained Clyde but also provided me with the tools and knowledge to reinforce the training at home. The skills Clyde has learned—like leash walking, responding to commands, and managing distractions—have made daily life so much easier. One of the standout features of Dog Training Elite is their flexible service model. You can start at a basic tier and upgrade to a higher tier if needed, only paying the difference from what you originally would have spent. This flexibility gave me peace of mind and allowed me to invest in Clyde’s training at a pace that worked for us. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone looking for effective, professional dog training. Ask for Dallin—he’s fantastic! Thank you for giving Clyde and me such a positive experience.

    We loved meeting our trainer!! We are 100% confident after meeting with Dallin that we can become better dog parents - and new born parents as well. Dallin helped instill confidence in crate training, and gave us valuable insights before we get our facility time. We need training as much as our dog, and we are beyond thankful to be apart of your program! Thank you guys!

    Dallin does a very good job and has made a huge amount of progress with our dog. Our dog now heels well on walks! He sits and downs reliably and has made enormous progress on placing in his bed despite being excited to see visitors.

    11/16 - Meggie came to our home as a part of our Berners completing their 2 week classes in Sandy. We are so happy that the in-home lessons are with trainers familiar to the dogs (dogs familiar to trainers and trainer familiar with dogs). The dogs did great - and our skills were reinforced as well! Dog Training Elite has been a great investment!
