Mobility Service Dog

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 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.

If you're seeking a mobility service dog, Dog Training Elite is here to help.

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 have used Dog Training elite for 3 of my dogs, most recently my 7 month old Cane Corso. Paul did a great job training her and giving me great tips to keep her in check and to keep her improving. She is still very much a work in progress, but she has come very far in 8 weeks. Paul met us at my office and was flexible with training dates. Mary trained my other Cane Corso and took an extremely stubborn dog(she was already 2 1/2 and had some bad habits) and taught her to listen and now she is rarely on leash and I can take her pretty much anywhere. Mary also trained my wife's service dog and she is a rock star.

    Would 100% recommend Vince for dog training! I live an hour from where he is located but he worked with finding times for training and was flexible. He is knowledgeable about dogs, behavior, and training. My dog started training a little older than is typical and I was worried she wouldn’t be successful but I saw significant improvement after just the first session.

    Dog Training Elite has been a huge blessing for myself, my wife, and our two pups, Asher and Jaxson. Asher has always had aggression issues and Jaxson has always been scared of his own shadow. These training sessions have showed us that Jaxson is dependent on Asher and that Asher feels like he has to protect Jaxson. Today, we have much more control over Asher and can finally trust to bring him into public settings. He is even letting people approach Jaxson without issue! Jaxson is so much more brave, and is comfortable being around people and other dogs. The best part is, we get to continue going to group sessions every Saturday, and can contact Dog Training Elite any time our pups need extra help. Asher and Jaxson will continue to grow! Thank you Tina and Lily for all you have done for our family! God bless!

    Carrie with Dog Training Elite West Michigan is amazing! I highly recommend her. When we adopted our dog, Charlie, from the humane society, she was so afraid that she was hiding under a table and wouldn't even look at us. She has been afraid of everyone that comes into the house and we have not been able to take her anywhere with us as she was too afraid to get out of the car and was afraid of everything around her. We finished our last private lesson today with Carrie and Charlie has come so far. We went to Lowes last week and out into town today. Charlie did so well. Initially, she was a little anxious, but when put to work, she listened and focused on us and was able to successfully get through the lessons in public with confidence. That was huge! We are so excited!!! At first, I was a bit concerned about the E-collar, afraid it would make our afraid/anxious dog worse, but it did not. We tested the collar on ourselves before putting it on the dog. It gets your attention, but it is not harmful. The E-collar was a great tool in training Charlie and she learned so quickly. She never showed any signs of fear or of being hurt by the collar. I am so amazed and pleased by Charlie's progress as well as all we have learned about handling Charlie under the direction of Carrie. Group classes weren't even imaginable previously, now we are ready to take Charlie and are looking forward to them. Charlie's progress is truly amazing. She is now in a state that I previously only dreamt about. The training has seemed to also create a much tighter bond and connection between us and Charlie, which is so wonderful. Carrie is wonderful to work with. She is very professional and has been very patient with us and Charlie. She is great at communicating and answering all our questions. She has wonderful, upbeat energy and we looked forward to our weekly classes with her. She has a lot of knowledge and is very talented with dogs. I will always be grateful to Carrie for helping us get a confident, well trained dog that can go places with us.

    We are incredibly happy with the training we received from Dog Training Elite Los Angeles. Humphrey, our newly-adopted senior dog, was being aggressive toward, and biting certain people. We were at a loss as the situation felt uncontrollable. Our trainer, Clayton, was patient, kind, and firm, giving me insight, guidance, and, more importantly, confidence as an owner and trainer. Humphrey, the trained dog, now listens and defers to me in such a powerful way, making our bond as human and canine incredibly strong. We love our Humphrey so much, and we now have the confidence, eagerness, and willingness to move forward introducing him to our family, friends, and neighbors. We can highly recommend Dog Training Elite Los Angeles if you are struggling with a dog at home.

    Matt had a clear idea of how to best train my deaf dog. He spent a great deal of time explaining how she would be trained.

    Gus has been training with Red, Raina, and the Dog Training Elite team since he was 9 weeks old. We could not be happier with the puppy training Gus has received, and we are looking forward to starting group classes soon. He has transformed from a crazy, often frustrating puppy to a companionable and trustworthy friend in just a few short months with their help. He’s ready to keep learning and growing under their steady and gentle training.

    Fantastic experience with Scott and Jen! Helping us take back the control of our middle aged dogs at our own home where the behaviors are seen naturally. No boarding or over charging, honest and fair estimates. And giving you and your dog their full attention at every session, moving at the pace you are comfortable with. It’s never too late to teach your old dogs new tricks with their help!

    We have worked with Red for the past few months and can see such a beautiful change in our dog. He is less nervous and listens so much better. Red is very thorough and patient with us as we learn the commands. We love working with Red! He has made us love our dog!!

    I can’t say enough great things about Vince at Dog Training Elite! Over the course of our six sessions, I’ve seen a huge improvement not only in Scottie’s behavior, but also in my own confidence as a dog owner. Before working with Vince, Scottie was very dog reactive and difficult to walk on a leash, which made everyday outings stressful. Thanks to Vince’s guidance and training approach, Scottie has made incredible progress - walks are now much more controlled and enjoyable, and his reactivity has improved significantly. Since Scottie is now two, Vince helped us break his stubborn patterns. What really stood out to me was how available and supportive Vince was throughout the entire process. Anytime I had questions or was unsure how to handle a specific behavior, he was quick to respond and always took the time to talk things through. He provided practical, effective strategies that made a real difference, especially in tougher situations. Thanks to Vince’s expertise, Scottie is more well-behaved, and I feel much more confident handling different scenarios. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely caring dog training support!
