Seizure Response Dog in Broward / Fort Lauderdale, FL

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 Broward / Fort Lauderdale 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.

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 Broward / Fort Lauderdale 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.

    If I could leave 10 stars for Elite Dog Training Broward I would. I have spent my life training teachers how to teach and have concluded that successful teaching requires an equal mix of love and competency. Marie, the owner, excels in both areas! My Labrador Retriever, Kairo, who is training to be a therapy dog LOVES Marie. He will do everything she asks … why? Because he feels her love and she knows exactly what she is doing. Her joy mixed with her competence is a magnet for dogs and their owners. Marie’s deep passion for dogs is contagious. I’ve learned so much especially clarity, consistency and also how to play with my dog. Marie’s entire team to include Gus and Matt make training so much fun! The entire team is well prepared, shows up on time, and is always encouraging. Every penny I paid for this training is worth it. I can’t wait for Kairo to begin therapy work. Because of the thorough and skilled training served up with laughter and love received from Marie and her team, Kai will be a wonderful and safe therapy dog bringing love to so many. Thank you, Marie, from the bottom of my heart. Forever grateful. Pat and Kairo

    I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for the exceptional training that my dog, Brooklin, has received under Dog Training Elite’s guidance. The transformation in Brooklin's behavior and obedience is nothing short of remarkable, and it is a testament to the high-quality training provided by the esteemed team of Marie, Gus & Matthew. Marie's expertise and patience is pivotal in Brooklin's development. Her ability to connect with the dogs and tailor her approach to their individual needs is truly commendable. It is evident that she cares deeply about the well-being and progress of each canine in her class, and this dedication shines through in the results. After just two sessions, the improvement in Brooklin's obedience is clearly visible, and it brings me immense joy to see such positive changes. Furthermore, the dogs trained under Gus' guidance have shown remarkable improvements in obedience, agility, and task performance. His constant feedback and encouragement have been invaluable, especially during our public area training sessions. Gus's expertise and positive demeanor make the learning process enjoyable and effective, not just for Brooklin, but for me as well. His approach is not only professional but also filled with a genuine passion for helping dogs and their owners achieve their best. The environment at Dog Training Elite is one of support, encouragement, and professionalism. It is a place where dogs are not just trained but nurtured to become well-behaved and happy companions. The skills and techniques that Brooklin has learned are invaluable, and the confidence that both of us have gained from Dog Training Elite is immeasurable. The commitment to excellence in dog training has made a significant difference in our lives, and I am truly grateful for the positive impact Marie & Gus have had on Brooklin and myself

    Ok, look no further. This is by far the best dog training school in Florida! It's called ELITE because that is how they work! Marie and Gus are extremely professional and knowledgeable, and they truly care for your pets, using the best methods to ensure no harm comes to your furry babies. I can confirm that their methods really work, as one of my dogs went through a lot of trauma. They gave her life back, and she is soon to be on her best behavior. Thank you, Marie, for being such an amazing coach and fun to work with! You are a blessing to our family. Sophye Nolet, Margate, Florida

    I would rate them 5 Stars Outstanding From the first contact with Marie's team, I found the professional, willing and able to help with our 5 year old Plot Hound rescue. We rescued our Tazzy from a no kill shelter 6 months ago. We are dog lovers and have two wonderful dogs who live to the age of 14. Tazzy is by far the most active. We don't know her history but found her aggressive with anyone coming to the door or gate. From the first lesson, Marie was always helpful in explaining each step she was taking with the training. I soon realized we need to remain calm but in control when Tazzy acted out. We needed training too. With Marie's guidance, patience and authority, Tazzy's behavior with strangers is very much improved. We would recommend Marie's Dog Training Elite to everyone who wants to learn how to adjust their thinking and methods in training their dog. They are remarkable!

    I have been having a great experience this far with my dogs training. Marie has been patient and gentle while working with my reactive/anxious dog. We have had 6 individual classes and 1 group class so far and my dog has shown such great improvement. I am also being conditioned to be more relax when walking him and more confident in my expected action of my dog from my commands.
