Here's What Our Autism Service Dog Training Program Offers

Welcome to our Autism Service Dog Training Program, designed to provide support and assistance to individuals on the autism spectrum and their families. Autism service dogs play a vital role in helping individuals with autism navigate daily challenges, improve social interactions, and enhance overall quality of life. Our program focuses on training dogs to perform specific tasks and provide comfort that directly address the unique needs and preferences of individuals with autism.

Comprehensive Assessment: We begin with a completely free training session where we will be conducting a thorough assessment of the dog and handler to understand the specific needs, preferences, and challenges faced by the individual with autism. This assessment helps us tailor the training program to address the unique requirements of each client and their family.

Task Training: Our program focuses on teaching dogs a variety of tasks designed to assist individuals with autism in various aspects of daily life. These tasks may include but are not limited to: providing deep pressure therapy to help regulate sensory processing, interrupting repetitive behaviors or self-stimulatory behaviors, guiding the individual to safety in crowded or overwhelming environments, assisting with transitions and routines, and providing emotional support during times of stress or anxiety.

Socialization and Sensory Training: We expose dogs to a wide range of environments, stimuli, and social situations to help them become comfortable and adaptable companions for individuals with autism. This includes desensitization to loud noises, crowds, and unfamiliar objects, as well as positive reinforcement of desired behaviors in social interactions.

Handler Education and Support: We provide comprehensive education and support for handlers, empowering them with the knowledge and skills needed to effectively work with their autism service dog. This includes training on how to utilize the dog’s tasks and behaviors, understanding service dog laws and etiquette, and building a strong bond with their canine partner.

Family Involvement: We encourage active participation from family members in the training process to promote consistency and reinforce learning outside of formal training sessions. We provide guidance on how to incorporate the dog’s tasks and behaviors into daily routines and interactions to maximize their effectiveness.

Guaranteed Results, Continuous Support and Guidance: With our Results Guarantee we promise to reach the goals that you set forth at the start of the Autism Service Dog Training Program and we will provide unlimited lessons until those goals are reached. Our commitment to your success doesn’t end with the lessons. We also provide unlimited ongoing phone and email support, to address any challenges or refine skills over the lifetime of your dog.

With our Autism Service Dog Training Program in Austin TX, individuals on the autism spectrum and their families can gain a reliable and supportive companion to assist them in navigating daily life with greater confidence and independence. Whether providing assistance with sensory regulation, social interactions, or emotional support, our program aims to empower individuals with autism to lead happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives with the assistance of their autism service dog.

FAQ

Most Commonly Asked Question's

How Much Does Your Training Cost?

At Total Dog! We provide our clients with custom-made training programs designed around your specific goals and your dog’s unique learning style. Our training programs vary from dog to dog in structure, layout, duration and cost.

That’s why we don’t offer a one program fits all solution. Instead we offer a Free Consultation so that we can meet with you and your dog to evaluate factors such as lifestyle, goals, age, temperament, breed and previous training. That way we can develop a custom-made training program that perfectly fits your goals and needs!

Is The Training Really Unlimited?

We offer a Total Dog! dog training package that includes unlimited lessons until your dog reaches the goals identified at the start of the program. Following the program’s completion, you’ll have the opportunity to extend your dog’s training to help them reach new goals.

Are There Breed Restrictions?

No, we don’t impose any breed restrictions. Total Dog! is an all-inclusive dog trainer that specializes in private dog-training for all kinds of dogs.

What’s The Best Age To Begin Training?

Right away! It’s true: you can teach an old dog new tricks and puppies are sponges for new information. While each dog has their own unique learning style and levels of maturity, as long as they’re awake, they’re learning.
At Total Dog!, we’re a truly all-inclusive dog training service. We work with dogs of all breeds and all ages.
