Seizure Response Dog in Carmel / Fishers, IN

Restoring Independence with Medical Response Dogs

Epilepsy affects approximately 3.4 million Americans and can significantly impact their daily routines. Many individuals with epilepsy avoid going out in public due to the fear of seizures and the potential risks, such as falling or injury. This leads to a loss of independence and a reduced quality of life. Fortunately, service dogs trained specifically for epilepsy can provide critical support.

Medical Response Dogs with Carmel / Fishers seizure alert dog training alert their caretakers and those nearby of an imminent seizure, helping prevent falls and injuries. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), individuals with epilepsy can bring their service dogs into public spaces, empowering them to regain independence and improve their quality of life.

How Medical Response Dogs Help Those with Epilepsy

Medical Response Dogs can detect changes in a person’s scent that occur just before a seizure, allowing them to warn their caretakers in advance. This early warning can provide enough time to seek safety and avoid injury. Almost any dog with the right temperament can be trained to perform these tasks.

If you or a loved one suffers from epilepsy, a specialized Medical Response Dog training program can be life-changing. Dog Training Elite offers programs tailored to train dogs as Medical Response Dogs, providing vital assistance to those living with epilepsy.

For specialized training, it is best to start with puppies. Our Medical Response Dog training program is intensive and prepares your dog for a life of service.

Service dogs must have a calm temperament and they must be first trained in obedience. Dogs that have aggressive, shy, or disobedient characteristics cannot be service dogs. After completing obedience programs, service dogs must undergo specialized skill training. An expert assessment will determine whether or not the dog is suited for medical alert services at this point. If so, they dog will be trained to detect oncoming seizures and warn the individual. Response dogs warn their caretakers in various ways, including: barking, close eye contact, pawing or licking, and or circling. Additional behaviors can be taught to protect the caretaker, such as breaking a fall by standing behind the individual, turning on lights or opening doors, and alerting others to the situation.

If you are looking for Carmel / Fishers seizure alert dog training to assist an individual with epilepsy, Dog Training Elite is here to help. Our expert trainers are experienced with various types of service dog training programs. Medical Response service dogs can bring independence, increased quality of love, and companionship.

    This made a night and day difference with my pup! It’s so nice to have a dog that actually listens. All the trainers are so nice. They really seem to care about the dogs in their care.I would definitely recommend everyone at Dog Training Elite.

    When my husband and I rescued our 11 month old shepherd/malinois mix, we knew he would need great training. After researching and doing an evaluation with Doug, we knew the best option would be DTE. From his very first day, we could tell Maverick thrived in camp and he started looking forward to it everyday. All of the trainers were personable, and had no problem answering all of our questions. We can’t wait to start taking him to group classes and continuing his training. Since starting he is more well mannered, knows his place, and is more confident. Thank you DTE for taking such great care of our boy 💛

    I highly recommend them! We had a puppy that was super mouthy due to teething and high energy. They worked with Ollie and got him responding to our commands and understanding his boundaries. They were always very open to answering all of our questions (we had a lot!) I cannot say enough how over and above they went to make sure we felt comfortable and had all our concerning scenarios covered over the duration of camp. The at home visit was amazing and helped reinforce his boundaries.

    Doug and the staff were great for our dog Douglas! We would highly recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone with a high energy, highly reactive dog such as ours. They took great care and Douglas has responded very well to the training. He looked forward to training every day and was exhausted by the end of the day. Overall a great experience and highly recommended.

    The team here is absolutely amazing. We signed up our Border collie pup Sky for the in-home puppy training and the two week intensive camp. The feedback each and every session has been incredible and our pup is thriving with the structure!! She still needs some reinforcement but with the option of participating in the group classes we can't wait to get her back in class. This is an investment that really does take a time commitment. I would recommend this program to anyone looking with zero hesitation. Thank you to the entire team!!

    I cannot recommend DTE enough. In the span of 10 days I had a new dog, well behaved and happy. The facilities are clean, the methods are solid, but more importantly the people that work there are incredible. There’s a very evident love for dogs radiating off of all of them, and I never had any reservations about leaving my dog in their care all day. Dog training being 30% training the dog and 70% training the owner, they provided helpful methods for reinforcing and continuing to progress in the commands he learned while there. They are worth every penny.

    We cannot emphasize enough how much we recommend DTE. We had known for sometime that we wanted extensive training for our dog struggling with anxiety but always felt hesitant about an extended board and train. When we learned about DTE’s two week camp it was exactly what we were looking for. Two weeks of consistent training that allowed us to still pick up our pup at the end of each day. We were reassured that we made the right decision when our pup was jumping out of bed and excited to get into class every morning. One of the biggest things that stood out to us throughout this program was the level of communication and expertise shown by staff. Everyday at drop off and pick up we were welcomed to share details of our pups performance at home and (more importantly) ask questions. The training staff was always willing and happy to help. Not once did we feel rushed. In addition, we received progress updates at the end of each day and advice for training at home. My personal favorite items were the training videos we received each day. It brightened my day that anytime I started to miss my pup, I could check for a video to see how he was doing with new skills and detailed instructions for me as his handler. We are extremely proud of the progress our pup made within the two weeks and look forward to continuing his training with his in-home lessons and group classes. Thank you DTE trainers for loving, teaching, and caring for our little guy.

    Doug, Elijah, and the DTE team exceeded all expectations. They made the training process fun and enjoyable for both me and my dog. I opted for the in-home program followed by group classes to reinforce the training. My biggest takeaway was to incorporate the teachings into a game, keeping my dog engaged and encouraged. We're excited to continue working with the team and highly recommend them for anyone seeking a professional dog training service.

    After researching many training options for our 5-month-old miniature schnauzer, we contacted Dog Training Elite Carmel/Fishers. They conducted a free in-home assessment to understand our goals for our puppy. We made the right choice! Our puppy enjoyed the 2-week training camp, and we will continue to take group classes and pursue their therapy dog training for her. Each trainer was loving and knowledgeable! I felt very supported by all of the staff. They give you the tools and resources to continue working on behavior at home. Our puppy, Charli, was excited to go to camp every single day!

    Absolutely AMAZING. The entire staff is very well versed in all aspects of training your furry family member. Currently, Liberty and I are working towards certifying as a service dog. The techniques taught, when used, WORK!!! Having a well disciplined furry family member reduces stress, gives companionship and brings extreme joy to each day of your life. UPDATE: Liberty is fully certified! Having the ability to take her everywhere has truly improved the quality of life!!! I could not have done it without the staff and guidance! Thank you!

    Well worth every penny. It's the training, the communications, the daily videos, the field trips, the socialization, the aftercare, the numerous lifetime training, and the meet-ups. Well worth the happy relationship you have with your pet and the community.
