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

Autism Support Dog Training in Worcester, MA

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 Worcester, MA, 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

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 Worcester, 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.

    He’s patient and I like how he makes the owners try a few times until we get it. He is also slow enough so you don’t feel rushed.

    They answer my questions fast and were very polite and helpful. I would recommend this training course to anyone who needs to train their dogs. My trainer Marshall is very knowledgeable and friendly. My dog Benji is stubborn and he was my dog becoming better with every session

    For the amount of money spent the training should last one hour not 30 minutes

    As it was my first experience with the company and trainer it's hard to leave anything but a first impression. My first impression is that this is a professional company, with a clear goal, with a clear end game that they're able to express in a way that lets you know they ARE doing this with a clear plan on training your pup in just manners, but also get them certified to be out n about, but in my case help ME train my pupper a philosophy that I agree with. Great start and I think any updates will be positive!

    Matt was great. My Jake will lie down but kept bouncing to a sit position like a yo-yo. Matt showed me the ecollar control and to use the red button which I didn’t know what it was for. He gave me a few hints to do also when he was acting jealous and excited if a child was hugging me. Matt was so knowledgeable. Thank you Matt

    Alana said she was a newer trainer with the company. She was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information. I feel like my son will be good with our dog Butter as a result. I did notice she talked very quickly. I thought it could possibly be that she was trying to convey all the information she wanted but in a shorter amount of time:

    Everyone has been ANAZING to work with. From scheduling and payment, to getting me additional information I needed to the actual training. Everyone’s been very supportive and knowledgeable, working with the different trainers has been great!

    Matt was great! Commands and homework demonstrated with easy understanding!! Our dog Gracie responded to our lead as hoped! Matt sees quickly my areas of frustration and he gave me the tools needed for our next success in training. Looking forward to next session!

    I had my training session w Laydon and she is wonderful. She is very friendly and easy to talk to. She ensures that you understand and answers any questions throughout the session. She is punctual and professional. She has suggested things that may help out with ME being able to “control”, (for lack of better wording), and fully train my feisty and sassy, but totally adorable, super smart, and sweet, 3.5 yr old Chihuahua pup, whereas Vivian, the pup, listens to my boyfriend with barely any issues at all. Laydon is great and we have asked for her as many times as she is available!

    Tina never barked @ Kurtis, she was very comfortable with him! Kurtis had many suggestions to improve Tina with her separation anxiety, one being to obtain a crate which I have done, waiting for delivery.
