Find the Support You Need With Professional Dog Training

Mobility Service Dog in Fort Wayne, IN

A mobility support dog can greatly enhance an individual's independence and quality of life. These service dogs assist with tasks that may be impossible or difficult for their handler to perform alone. A trained brace and mobility service dog can accompany their handler anywhere and is specifically trained to meet their mobility needs.

Tasks can include assistance with standing, transferring positions, providing stability, retrieving dropped items, fetching medication or specific objects, offering ambulatory support, recognizing and responding to emergencies, alerting others in both home and public settings, pulling a wheelchair for short distances, opening and closing doors, and providing emotional support.

Mobility support dogs not only increase independence but also provide stability, safety, and peace of mind, allowing for more active and fulfilling lives. Dog Training Elite Northeast Indiana offers a highly successful mobility service dog training program, tailored to the handler's specific needs and inclusive of their family. By training mobility service dogs in the owner's home, we foster stronger bonds and more lasting results, creating a positive working relationship between the handler and their dog.

If you're seeking a mobility service dog in Fort Wayne, IN, Dog Training Elite is here to help.

About Mobility Support Dogs

Most brace and mobility support dogs wear a specially designed harness that allows both the dog and handler to safely and securely work together to provide stable ambulation. Those who could benefit from a service dog specifically trained in brace and mobility support include:

Those with vertigo and balance disorders often experience dizziness and instability when walking. A mobility and brace support dog can help orient, ground, and stabilize their handler during movement.
Physical disabilities such as cerebral palsy, MS, spina bifida, or back injuries can cause irregularities in balance, gait, stability, and ambulation. Mobility support dogs provide stability and counterbalance, enabling their handlers to walk more safely with assistance.
Certain medications or disabilities can impair alertness and the ability to safely walk or respond to emergencies. A service dog can be trained to guide a disoriented handler through daily activities and assist during emergency situations.
Those prone to health risks that cause unconsciousness can benefit from a service dog trained to retrieve help, call emergency services using a specialized phone, and reposition the handler if they are unable to breathe.
Conditions like muscle dystrophy, strokes, and other ailments can diminish strength, coordination, and stability, making it difficult to perform simple tasks like opening drawers or reaching light switches. A mobility service dog can assist with these daily tasks, providing invaluable support to those with diminished mobility.

    I have had Clint and Nate come train my Grace. They are excellent at not only training Grace, but training me as well. I have had trainers before for other dogs and they no way compare to these two gentlemen. I would definitely and have recommended them.

    Clint has been amazing, within the first visit I noticed a change in my puppy. With his knowledge and my practice she is showing great growth just within a few weeks. I cannot wait to see what the future brings. And to show her off!

    Dog Training Elite NE Indiana has been an absolute godsend for me. I rescued a Staffordshire/Pitbull mix almost 2 years ago and only recently started seeing protective/aggressive behaviors that concerned me. My husband and I called and they set up a meeting. We ended up going with them, and I am SO grateful we did. I am ENJOYING walks with my dog (previously those were exhausting with pulling and fear of being able to control her). We can have people into our home and we actually worked through several of her unusual fear responses to different things in the home as well. I am SO proud of her, and SO THANKFUL that my husband and I made this investment into her for our family. I feel like these tools can be used for any other dog that we might get in the future, and having a lifetime of help with this dog is huge so that we can continue working on the commands that Dog Training Elite taught us.

    Our experience with our St. Bernard was amazing! Nate was great with our girl Elly. She progessed from a crazy puppy to a well-behaved dog. I was not a fan of e-collars before this but I'm a believer now after being trained in how to use them properly. I would recommend Dog Training Elite to anyone who wants a high quality experience with their dog.

    Nathan is awesome! Banks learns from him every class and proves it. Now both of us are excited for walks and public outings, and even more excited to start group classes to further improvements. This program and Nathan are a definite game changer in Bank’s behavior and I don’t know what we would have done without it.

    I ordered the Premium package and trained all 8 one on one sessions with Nathan. He was very intuitive and kind. His training and advice was very easy to follow and easy to execute and worked wonders. Hestia is a Rottweiler and prone to stubbornness but she has been following commands rather quickly with his help. This was my first time getting professional training for a dog and I really could not be happier with the results I've gotten from Dog Training Elite. I am very much looking forward to attending the group sessions held at my local parks and having a wonderful dog with excellent manners!

    I highly recommend Dog Training Elite! We have seen a complete transformation in our Cleo! We recently adopted her from a local rescue group knowing she likely had survived some difficult situations. This resulted in her exhibiting a good deal of anxiety, reactivity, and aggressiveness, especially with strangers. We quickly realized video tutorials and online training classes were not going to be enough for us to help her unlearn the poor coping behaviors she had developed and we needed help. We were so happy to discover DTE! Clint and Nathan are amazing! From the moment Clint step into our house the first time, through each individual training session, and now the group classes, they both have shared their knowledge and skill to give us the tools we needed to help Cleo learn how to manage her anxiety and become a calmer, more pleasant and well-behaved pup. We saw positive changes in her immediately, and with regular, consistent application of the techniques they taught us, she is now a totally different dog. We couldn't be more pleased!

    Dog Training Elite knows dogs! It’s that simple. They understand what it takes to help your dog become an obedient, loving companion. We used them for our adopted Elsie and she is doing great! Nathan was our primary trainer. He explained everything right from the start and throughout the whole process. He really helped us see that OUR learning more about Elsie’s innate characteristics helped us to participate in her successful training. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite.

    Please use this service if you are in need of a good dog trainer!!! Clint was so great working with my dog. She was very ill-tempered and suffers from separation anxiety. She had biting issues and was very temperamental to others and other dogs. When I inquired with other trainers they were not helpful and did nothing but throw kibbles on the ground. Clint on the other hand honed right on to the issues and helped me greatly when all other avenues seemed lost, especially when evening walking my dog was difficult. I was completely grateful for his fast service and the patience he had with my dog. Thank you Clint and Elite Dog Training for helping me and my dog!

    My dog was very anxious about a lot of things. I tried independently to help him, but I wasn't getting results. This company has shown me techniques that have now gotten us to the point where my dog is getting so much braver. Nathan was patient and reassured me that even my dog, a little older, a rescue, and with severe anxiety, could be helped. He was right. I love that now that personal training is over, I can get in group classes, which helps my dog get more socialized and confident. I can email with questions that might come up. This is a great company.
