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

Autism Support Dog Training in Utah County, 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 Utah County, 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.
The calming presence of a service dog can help reduce nighttime anxiety, leading to better sleep quality.
Service dogs offer comfort by helping children with autism manage overwhelming sensory stimuli in their environment.
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.
Autism service dogs provide physical support, aiding children with mobility challenges in navigating their surroundings.
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 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 Utah County, 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.

    They are always wonderful and understanding. We have a rescue that has some behavior issues, we have used trainers from big box stores and professional trainers. We have had the most success with Dog Training Elite! Some of what we learned at the big box store classes enforced bad behavior masking it as part of the learning. Should have started at Dog Training Elite!

    We have worked with Meagan and Deidre so far. We are only a few weeks into our training but it is clear that Dog Training Elite Utah County know their stuff. It has been such a positive experience. I looked forward to our future training sessions and can’t wait to learn more from this amazing group of trainers.

    Evan, Ryan and Deidre have been amazing! We had so much chaos and lack of structure for our dogs, and they have given us relief and resources. They have done all of the hard work in teaching new behavior to our dog, and then taught us how to continue the training. It has made all the difference in our lifestyle. I would ABSOLUTELY recommend them to everyone.

    Dog Training Elite has been absolutely phenomenal. I first started working with them to help my dog Nico become a service dog. Throughout the process, he and I have both grown more confident in what we do. The trainers have given me and showed me the tools to help Nico and I need to succeed. They are extremely knowledgeable and patient. One thing I value most is, they aren't just training the dog, they are training me as well.

    My experience so far has been amazing. I’m beyond happy with Deidre Wilson! She has been amazing with my Doberman and has such a natural connection with my entire pack. Deidre is not only talented but also takes the time to explain everything, educating me and giving me the confidence to succeed with my Doberman. I couldn’t ask for a better dog trainer! Kaycee is also fantastic, always patient and flexible with our schedule, making the entire experience seamless. I highly recommend them both and their staff.

    Follow up 6 months later-Reggie had some continued training to learn to fetch things for his girl, and is absolutely incredible at it thanks to Evan and his team!..We also took a trip to Florida with Reggie. First flight with him, Disney World, and Universal Studios for ten days straight. He did absolutely remarkable, and most people didn’t even realize we had a dog with us until they noticed his Minnie ears. He was able to ride several rides with his girl, and did incredible! Elite dog training is the absolute best of the best!!! We have a service dog for my 9 year old, and between Evan, and Kaycee I couldn’t ask for better people to work with! They have gone absolutely above and beyond to help our pup do any, and everything possible to help our daughter live the most independent life despite her chronic health problems. The amount of time, and work they have put into Reggie these last two years is astounding. Because of them Reggie is able to spend countless weeks in the hospital with my 9 year old, he goes to school with her everyday, and goes everywhere she goes. He is by far the best dog ever because of the incredible people at Elite. You can absolutely tell the people at Elite love what they do! 5 stars is not enough to describe what an incredible company this is!! We LOVE Utah County Elite dog trainers!!
