Seizure Response Dog

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 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.

How Medical Response Dogs Help Those with Epilepsy

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 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.

    Exceptional Results and Unwavering Professionalism from Elite Dog Training! We couldn't be more thrilled with the transformation of our miniature schnauzer after completing the in-home private sessions with Elite Dog Training. From our very first consultation, Vince's communication and professionalism were nothing short of excellent. He meticulously explained the training philosophy, set clear expectations, and consistently provided constructive, easy-to-follow guidance in every session. Crucially, our pup was immediately comfortable and obedient with Vince, which speaks volumes about his effective and humane approach. The results we've achieved are genuinely impressive. Our schnauzer has mastered all the basic commands, but more importantly, she has developed an incredible ability to focus and maintain control even when exposed to high-level distractions. Situations that were previously challenging—like passing other dogs or reacting to passing cars—are now handled with a calmness we didn't think possible. She now has a strong, reliable foundation that we are excited to build upon. Having successfully completed the private training, we are eagerly looking forward to the outdoor group sessions to further solidify her control in complex, real-world environments. I highly, highly recommend Elite Dog Training!

    Dog Training Elite is awesome! The trainers are super friendly and really know what they’re doing. My dog listened better after just a few sessions, and they showed me how to keep the training going at home. I’m really happy with the results and would definitely recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone who wants a well-behaved dog.

    We have been working with Tom at dog training elite central Kentucky and have had nothing but a positive experience so far. Tom is very knowledgeable when it comes to understand our dogs behavior and giving us the tools to correct them. I look forward to the rest of the program and the endless group opportunities that are available with the package we choose. I would highly recommend Tom if you have a highly reactive pup.

    We had a fantastic experience taking two dogs through the program. McCall was an outstanding trainer and made great progress with both our adult dog and our puppy. We are really looking forward to sending our other two doggos through the program soon!

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dog Training Elite Clarksville and our amazing trainer, Graci! From the first session, she made both me and my dog Rocco feel completely comfortable. She is so sweet, patient, and genuinely cares about the dogs and their owners. Graci explains every step in a way that’s easy to understand, and she always makes training fun instead of stressful. Rocco absolutely loves her, and I can already see such a huge improvement in his behavior and confidence. She celebrates every win with us and keeps me feeling supported through the entire process. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly goes above and beyond, ask for Graci. She has been a blessing to me and Rocco, and I’m so grateful for her kindness and skill. Highly recommend! 🐾💛

    Jenny and Donny are amazing. My dog had obedience training, we’re still going to group lessons and now, I upgraded to service dog training. They truly understand dog behavior and how to work with your dog. If you read a horrible review, please double check that it’s valid and not a scam. I’ve been a client for almost 6 months and nothing has happened to ever justify a poor score.

    I highly recommend this great company to train any kind of dog with any type of issue. They know exactly how to understand and produce change with your dog. I’ve training my dog for a service dog and after 10 months I can say that my dog is ready to perform the tasks that will help me to deal with my mental health issues. All this thanks to Dog Training Elite Treasure Coast / North PB County.

    I have so much gratitude for the Dog Training Elite family! My dog, Ozlo, and I had quite a journey of challenges and I went through a myriad of trainers with little to no progress. I was feeling frustrated and helpless when I found DTE. My first phone call with them was an hour long. They truly listened to me and my concerns and needs. They are extremely knowledgeable and it's honestly the only time Ozlo made progress in overcoming severe stranger danger and dog reactivity. Seeing him be able to remain calm in a class with 15 dogs and people was a miracle! They continued to support me well after the training program had ended too. They are not just good trainers but good people that I trust.

    Finally, we found the best of the best in dog trainers. Donny, Jenny and Michael brought professionalism and exceptional knowledge over the past months to train our high energy Border Collie. Their patience and encouragement have made a huge difference for our puppy. Thank you, Team DTE!
