Find the Support You Need With Professional Dog Training

Mobility Service Dog in San Antonio, TX

A mobility support dog can greatly enhance an individual's independence and quality of life. These service dogs assist with tasks that may be impossible or difficult for their handler to perform alone. A trained brace and mobility service dog can accompany their handler anywhere and is specifically trained to meet their mobility needs.

Tasks can include assistance with standing, transferring positions, providing stability, retrieving dropped items, fetching medication or specific objects, offering ambulatory support, recognizing and responding to emergencies, alerting others in both home and public settings, pulling a wheelchair for short distances, opening and closing doors, and providing emotional support.

Mobility support dogs not only increase independence but also provide stability, safety, and peace of mind, allowing for more active and fulfilling lives. Dog Training Elite San Antonio offers a highly successful mobility service dog training program, tailored to the handler's specific needs and inclusive of their family. By training mobility service dogs in the owner's home, we foster stronger bonds and more lasting results, creating a positive working relationship between the handler and their dog.

About Mobility Support Dogs

Most brace and mobility support dogs wear a specially designed harness that allows both the dog and handler to safely and securely work together to provide stable ambulation. Those who could benefit from a service dog specifically trained in brace and mobility support include:

Those with vertigo and balance disorders often experience dizziness and instability when walking. A mobility and brace support dog can help orient, ground, and stabilize their handler during movement.
Physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy, MS, spina bifida, or back injuries can cause irregularities in balance, gait, stability, and ambulation. Mobility support dogs provide stability and counterbalance, enabling their handlers to walk more safely with assistance.
Certain medications or disabilities can impair alertness and the ability to safely walk or respond to emergencies. A service dog can be trained to guide a disoriented handler through daily activities and assist during emergency situations.
Those prone to health risks that cause unconsciousness can benefit from a service dog trained to retrieve help, call emergency services using a specialized phone, and reposition the handler if they are unable to breathe.
Conditions like muscle dystrophy, strokes, and other ailments can diminish strength, coordination, and stability, making it difficult to perform simple tasks like opening drawers or reaching light switches. A mobility service dog can assist with these daily tasks, providing invaluable support to those with diminished mobility.

    I love the trainers and how they are helping my little Poppy learn all she needs to know on her journey to become a service dog. She is tiny and they treat her like she is normal dog with a big heart . They do not baby her and treat her like she can do everything a regular size dog can do. She can be a bit spicy but she listens to them and is also so happy to see them. Her little nub tail goes a mile a minute as soon as we pull up. She knows she is going to see the amazing staff and trainers. Her first week she learned a lot and it was up to me to keep it up. They found treats she likes. * She was super picky* She was a bit shy at first and they got her out of her shell. Now she is not afraid of anything. They still come to the house for additional training and we can go every Tuesday for refresher training until she is old enough to start service dog training. I know, I was so nervous at first before Poppy joined this program. After meeting with them and visiting the facility I was very happy. The facility is very clean. The trainers, staff have been absolutely wonderful and take time to answer my questions. If I don’t feel confident in what I am doing they do not hesitate to guide me. When Poppy joined she was only 1.5 lbs and they made sure she was safe while she started puppy basics. Yet she still played with the big puppy’s and did everything all the other puppy’s got to do. She is 3lbs now and I have no concerns in leaving my little treasure with anyone at Dog Training Elite for her continue education onto Service dog training. If you’re looking for Basic training to advance to anything in between. I highly recommend this wonderful facility. They truly care about their clients and the work they do. My little Poppy loves going to see them every time. They also educate me on what I am doing wrong and guide me in the correct way to handle poor behavior in my Poppy. Come join this place! Poppy would love to make new friends too

    We have been coming to DTE for 3 years and it was the best decision we made after getting a dog! She still has her wild side but way more behaved when she was in the beginning. Trainers are amazing, facility is at a great location, several classes every week to choose from, and classes are super fun! 100% recommend reaching out to DTE for anyone who is considering getting a dog💜

    Where do I even begin? DTE took a 4 month old Doberman puppy and turned him into the most amazing service dog in a period of 3 months time. This boy was wild! He learned discipline, self control and all the things necessary to pass the test. This was all done with a perfect balance of building amazing confidence while maintaining his wonderful disposition. Leo truly loved his trainers and we could tell that they absolutely loved him as well. I recommend them 100 times over.

    The basic puppy training and service dog training options are amazing. The staff is so nice and very informative. Chewbacca has learned so much and is always happy to come to class. We’ve done the puppy class and now on week 2 of service dog training! The trainers are so helpful and educational when it comes to showing what Chewbacca has learned and answering all of our questions! You get daily updates of what was taught to include videos and written information. Plus, cute photos of your pup! I highly recommend DTE!

    We recused bolt in late Dec 23. He was about to be put down because there was no room at the shelter. Initially, he would take off running had no recall, and was constantly acting up. That’s when we reached out to Dog Training Elite. We met with Whitley and she immediately promised us we can get him trained. Throughout his training Adakais(his trainer) was patient and gave us numerous lessons that we were able to apply. It was life changing for us. Bolt went from being a dog that would lose his mind if you even put a leash on him to becoming fully service dog qualified by summer of 2024. He knows all the commands and really responds well to having a job as a service dog. There a lots of group classes and everyone attending is supportive. Plus you have the one on one with the trainer. This is a great team and you’re really part of a supportive community. That’s bolt at my retirement ceremony being a great service dog. The other photo was after training at the facility. He was relaxed even with other dogs around.

    I am so thankful to DTE for being patient with me and my pup during the training process. The group classes are a plus as they allow me and my dog to work in various environments with distractions. I have received constant feedback from them as well which has helped me build my confidence as a dog owner!

    I can’t say enough good things about this facility. The staff is always so friendly and they were absolutely amazing with my dog. Gunner is very well behaved now, and I have a better understanding of how to upkeep his training at home because they give you the tools you need to be able to work with your dog at home. My dog went through the puppy boot camp and service dog training. Definitely recommend!

    The staff is professional, helpful, and patient. I am pleased with my dogs’s progress… She’s a Llasa Apso so that says a lot when it comes to training. You’ll see a difference day one after training … one week later is amazing and then group training just adds to the benefit of having your dog trained. Highly recommend.

    Dog Training Elite has been the best! We are so happy that we chose them for our training needs. They have really helped our strongminded bully breed become an exceptional member of our home. Worth every penny of the cost to work with people who truly care about meeting our needs.

    Beyond 5 Stars!! From day one of service dog camp, Hogan (the cutest puppy around) was learning new commands and breaking bad habits. Beyond the AMAZING trainers--Ali & Whitley, the training facility was top-notch and well kept. Sometimes I would walk in and think they were baking cookies because it smelled so good :) Highly would recommend Dog Training Elite! After just 3 weeks of training and reinforcing, we now have a graduate of Service Dog Camp!

    This is the best place for all your dog training needs. During covid i was able to get my dog trained as a PSD and the experience was so great that when my guy retired i went back to get his replacement trained. Everyone is incredibly helpful, friendly and flexible with your schedule. They were able to come to my home for all of the training. I highly recommend DTE!

    DTE has been amazing! Their services are truly the best and have been a huge blessing to our family. The training and support they have provided to Calypso and my husband has truly been above what we could have imagined.

    They have been awesome with training my lab, Harley. Harley had a stubborn streak but with their help he is doing great. Our trainer Adakias has been great to work with, understanding and accommodating. I highly recommend them!

    Trainers are sensitive to Dog’s personality and the specific concerns of owners. Excellent feedback on the commands taught during training. They detail your dog’s “report card”. They are pleasant & patient in teaching & having owners demonstrate understanding & use of learned commands with their pet. We love that we bring our Pet home for the evening & a reassuring night’s sleep!

    Cannot express how happy and appreciative I am for DTE. Truly heartfelt and personal trainers who were all patient, informative, caring, and interested in the needs for our particular situation. We have a special needs child and they went above and beyond helping us get our dog service dog trained and task trained for her needs. Cannot say enough! 10 stars for sure!!

    Terrence has been sole trainer, his knowledge and experience has surpassed our expectations. He and Lexxa bonded quickly and the training has progressed much quicker than we expected. We highly recommend and couldn’t be happier with the results.

    Highly recommend Dog Training Elite! We trained our German Shepherds through their program and love everything about it. The care and attention to detail they have for dogs is incomparable. Kai is a phenomenal trainer!
