Improve Family Life and Emotional Well-Being with an Autism Support Dog

Autism Support Dog Training in Manchester, NH

Service dogs provide emotional support for children with autism and a sense of security for the entire family. Families often experience reduced stress, allowing them to engage more comfortably in public and feel less anxious at home. With our autism support dog training in Manchester, NH, we help enhance safety and reduce emotional outbursts, allowing children with autism to participate more fully in family activities.

Children with autism often feel isolated, and a service dog becomes a constant companion, offering connection and support. These dogs not only help children reintegrate into social settings but have been shown to reduce cortisol levels, providing measurable relief for children with autism and those prone to stress.

Understanding Autism Support Dogs

Key Benefits

There has been an enormous increase in the use of service dogs as a powerful tool in advancing and supporting those with autism. The autism world is widely accepting and promoting service dogs as overwhelming results come in showing that not only is a child’s psychological state improved, but that of the entire family is as well. A service dog can unlock levels of connection and progress that is otherwise very difficult to obtain with autism.

Service dogs are trained to gently interrupt repetitive behaviors, promoting focus and reducing anxiety.
Autism support dogs foster greater independence by assisting with daily tasks and offering emotional reassurance.
Interaction with a service dog can help children expand their vocabulary through verbal commands and communication.
The calming presence of a service dog can help reduce nighttime anxiety, leading to better sleep quality.
Service dogs offer comfort by helping children with autism manage overwhelming sensory stimuli in their environment.
Autism support dogs are trained to ensure the child's safety, preventing them from wandering or entering dangerous situations.
Service dogs can perform deep pressure tasks to help calm children during moments of stress or sensory overload.
Autism service dogs provide physical support, aiding children with mobility challenges in navigating their surroundings.
The steady, calming presence of a service dog helps reduce overall anxiety and creates a more peaceful atmosphere.

Here's how we train your dog to be a reliable, helpful companion:

  1. Getting to Know Your Needs and Dog's Personality: We begin by learning about your family’s specific needs, challenges, and goals. Understanding your child’s unique requirements and your dog’s personality allows us to tailor the training program for the best results. We take into account your dog’s temperament and natural instincts to ensure they are the right fit for autism support training.
  2. Specialized Training: Once we’ve developed a personalized training plan, we begin specialized training sessions that focus on skills vital to autism support, such as sensory assistance, deep pressure tasks, redirecting repetitive behaviors, and ensuring safety. We use balanced training techniques to create a strong bond between your child and the dog, ensuring a seamless integration into your family life.
  3. Ongoing Support & Communication: Our relationship doesn’t end when the training is complete. We provide ongoing support to ensure your dog continues to meet your child’s needs as they grow. We maintain regular communication and are available for any follow-up training, guidance, or questions that arise after the program.

At Dog Training Elite Greater New Hampshire, our main priority is the safety of your family. We take service training seriously, ensuring that both your dog and children feel safe, loved, and supported.

    The investment in Dog Training Elite was one of the best decisions we made. The program is comprehensive and gave us tools to build our dog’s mental and physical abilities. Let’s face it, it’s more about training the owners. Winston loves Beth and he knows she’s not going to fall for his drama. Highly recommend!

    I’m not a dog person, but my wife had to have a dog. I was very skeptical about paying for training. I’m also a negative person. So my positive review should speak volumes. I totally recommend this program. The owners are extremely nice and helpful. I feel like any new dog owner should go through this program. I can’t say enough.

    We had a truly wonderful experience with Renee. We trained our 5 year older 90 pound Weimaraner (Axel) with Renee. Axel was highly reactive. He's very smart but also very stubborn. Renee spent half his lessons training Axel and half training us. Almost immediately, we were amazed at how well Axel was listening to Renee and it became clear to us that we need the training as much as Axel. On our last two trainings we went out to Lowes and Bass Pro Shops. We never would have even considered this before Elite Dog Training. Axel did great and we are excited to know the potential of our dog and love that we are more comfortable bringing them out in public.

    We very much enjoyed working with Beth & Rene. Our boy Cash was trained by Beth as a Service Animal and we are so Proud of him and all the help we received from the trainers. We sure enjoyed working with this organization and highly recommend them to anyone that needs their assistance in training your dog. We also made great friends, thank you for all your hard work guys.

    Really appreciate the one on one approach to training and doing it in my own home where my dog is relaxed. And the access to group trainings with other dogs has been a good introduction for my dog.

    I can't express how thankful and grateful I am for Rene. Jasper was already a good dog, but now he is amazing. His obedience is next level. I love how I can always message Rene with questions and it is answered in a timely manner. 100000% would recommend.

    I am in the process of training my dog to be a therapy dog. We have almost completed the basic training course and Daisy has made so much progress! Beth was super responsive during the initial information stage by getting back to me quickly and explaining the entire process. She came to my house for an initial evaluation and answered all my questions. From the very beginning, Beth provided clear instructions and expectations for each session. We have been attending the group classes which are both effective and really fun! Both Beth and Rene are easy to work with and provide many activities to carry over the skills we learned during the private training sessions. It's really nice to have a community of dog owners to share both struggles and victories. Beth and Rene truly care about all the dogs and yet are available to provide one to one service and help troubleshoot any behavior issues. What I really like is their understanding that a well trained dog can still be a dog who is silly, affectionate and playful! I would definitely recommended them to anyone with a dog of any age/breed!

    Rene and Beth are amazing trainers. We have done both private in home and group training with K9 Elite. With a high energy / sometimes stubborn dog breed, they have shown me and my family the techniques needed to help our puppy become an incredibly fun, obedient and good canine citizen. If you have kids bring them to the training sessions. Our kids do a great job with the weekly practice with the dogs. We highly recommend Rene and Beth as they are kind, caring and happy to help even the oldest, most stubborn dog start to listen and obey.

    I have nothing but good things to say about this training program. We had a 100+ pound untrained Newfoundland who was sweet but did not obey commands well. Fast forward 8 weeks and we now have a dog we can confidently take anywhere! René, our trainer, was incredible. Not only is he clearly knowledgeable and experienced with all kinds of dogs, but he also took the time to teach us, not just the dog. My wife and I now feel equipped with practical training tools and techniques that we’ll use for the rest of our lives. This wasn’t just about obedience commands, it was about building a lasting relationship based on communication and respect. We couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. Every session was hands-on, professional, and tailored to our needs. And yes, it was worth every penny. If you’re serious about training and want real results with a trainer who knows his stuff, this is the place.

    Trying to get a stubborn English mastiff to do anything was becoming impossible until Rene trained not only Tucker but us as well, after a couple of weeks what a difference, comes when called, sits, gets in the car, heels, amazing difference.

    So glad we signed our two dogs up for training! They both had different challenges (one hyperactive and jumpy and one scared and nervous), and the training did them both wonders. Highly recommend! We worked primarily with Beth and she was awesome to train with.

    Best training experience ever. My GSD is well behaved now. The trainer was very positive and encouraging and very knowledgeable. I received lots of good advice. I love the free group classes that follow the completion of the training program. It reinforces everything we have learned.

    I could not recommend this company enough! My dog was lacking respect and basic listening skills and i was at a loss on how to get through to him. We had Beth as our trainer and she was amazing! nothing but great things to say to her. not only did she teach my dog she also taught me. I now know how to get into his head and understand him in a way i couldn’t before. with the skills they taught me I can teach him new tricks and commands all on my own. if i ever have a question she’s always there with a quick reply to help me out! the free lifetime group classes are also a MAJOR perk as they let me continue his training and learn new things every week. I can’t thank Beth enough for turning my extremely anxious, disrespectful, dog with no self confidence into the complete opposite. we are able to do things i never thought id ever be able to do with him before. if you’re looking for a good trainer they are the people to reach out to!

    Badgers first training session was a game changer looking forward to working with Beth! Thank you! Week 8 and I am over the moon! When Badger and me started with Beth and Rene I was skeptical as my pup had spent 15 months 24/7 with me with very little contact with other humans and that being family only . He jumped, barked pulled had no direction! Ahh 8 weeks later I ask myself who is this gentle 80 pound pup who listens to all commands, come, sit, down , heal and place! I can walk with him and take him in the public! Thank you Beth and Rene! I am a senior citizen and a 80 pound pulling jumping dog is not fun. Thanks to you I enjoy Badger and others can to! I recommend you and your business to anyone with a dog! Thank you from Badger and Christina.

    I can't say enough good things about DGE, the trainers Renee and Beth and the incredible work they are doing with my dog, Rosti. From the very first session of behavior training up to her work on Therapy Service training it is clear that they have a genuine passion for helping dogs and their owners succeed.

    Best thing we ever did was training for our English Mastiff. Our trainer Rene was the best! Out dog now comes when we call him, gets in car for rides and loves to go into stores to meet new people. Thanks so very much

    She was very good at explaining the process and what to expect during the training! She’s very understanding about a dog’s behavior and why they do it so she can give advice on how to correct it. Allows a dog to be a dog but a well behaved one!

    Dog Training Elite Greater New Hampshire is the best place to train your dog whether it be for obedience, service dog, puppy knowledge or behavioral issues. Beth and René are wonderful people and trainers and give you the attention you deserve. They are always on time, communicate efficiently and it is clear they have a great deal of knowledge and care about the results your dog puts out from their program. From the first day I contacted them about training, I was provided with a bunch of helpful information about training and recommendations. Not once was I pushed to sign up, but I was more so provided with many options of how we can get started without breaking the bank. They even offer lifetime group classes to continue to work through new life challenges and training! Our 6 month old boxer has been in the program since she was 8 weeks old, she is still so young and receives compliments on her behavior everywhere we go regardless of her immaturity stage. I have no complaints and all positive things to say about Beth and René at Dog Training Elite Greater New Hampshire. I highly recommend you use Dog training Elite for your dog training needs. You will not be disappointed! We are so thankful to have found this company and will never look to anyone else to train our pups! We can't wait to work with them for the next step for our pup, Service Dog training. Thank you for everything!! Jeff and Sarah
