Emotional Support Dog Training Austin TX

Welcome to our Emotional Support Dog Training Program, dedicated to providing comfort, companionship, and support to individuals experiencing emotional or psychological challenges. Emotional support dogs play a crucial role in helping their handlers cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health conditions, providing unconditional love and companionship when needed most. Our program focuses on training dogs to provide emotional support and assistance tailored to the unique needs of each individual.

Here’s what our Emotional Support Dog Training Program offers:

Comprehensive Assessment: We begin with a completely Free Training Session where we will be conducting a thorough assessment to understand the specific emotional and psychological needs of the individual seeking support as well as the dog’s behavior and temperament. This assessment helps us tailor the training program to address the unique challenges and preferences of both the client and the dog.

Task Training: Our program focuses on teaching dogs a variety of tasks designed to provide emotional support and assistance. These tasks may include but are not limited to: providing deep pressure therapy to help calm anxiety or alleviate stress, offering physical contact and affection during times of distress, interrupting negative thoughts or behaviors, and providing companionship and comfort during periods of loneliness or isolation.

Behavioral Support: In addition to task training, we provide behavioral support to help dogs remain calm, responsive, and attuned to their handler’s emotional cues. This includes desensitization to triggers, reinforcement of desired behaviors, and management of stress or anxiety in various environments.

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 emotional support dog. This includes training on how to recognize and manage their own emotional needs, understanding the dog’s cues and responses, 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 Emotional Support 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.
