Find the Support You Need With Professional Dog Training

Mobility Service Dog in Panama City, FL

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 Emerald Coast 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 Panama City, FL, 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.

    If I could give more than 5 stars I would! About a year ago when our family wanted to get a puppy, we knew training was something we wanted to invest in. After searching the local area for pet trainers, we came across Dog training elite and decided to call and set up a tour. We have never had a puppy before and wanted to make sure we were setting our new addition up for success and boy have we!! Our now 1 year old Corgi has been with DTE for about 10 months and has been such an angel with commands, tricks and obedience than we could've imagined she'd be. DTE from the beginning has been so kind to our family and our pup. They have been there for any questions we have had, addressed concerns we've had promptly with our pup, provides a drop in dog camp for our girl to continue to be shown love, training and playtime with her best friends. DTE will always be a part of our journey. The whole experience we've had so far is far more valuable than money.

    Dog Training Elite has the best trainers around-- my Goldendoodle (and I!) went through two weeks of training, and it changed my relationship with him for the better. He's more obedient, more respectful of others, and I feel like I can take him anywhere without worrying about his behavior around other people. He loves his trainers, Sunny and Jeremiah! After his training was completed, he passed his Canine Good Citizen test, and he is on the way to being a therapy dog. I highly recommend Dog Training Elite!

    I can’t say enough good things about Dog Training Elite Emerald Coast! From the moment I reached out, Lily has been so communicative and responsive. She made the whole process feel smooth and reassuring. When I had any concerns the owner, Tina, personally called me to walk me through everything. She explained my options clearly and helped find what would work best for me—and it worked out perfectly! They genuinely listen to your needs and tailor the training to you and your dog. They even upload photos and videos to a shared Google Drive so you can see your fur baby’s daily progress, which I absolutely love. The in-home training has been a perfect fit for us since it focuses on where our pup spends the most time—at home. A huge shoutout to Sunnee, who’s been nothing short of amazing. She’s incredibly patient and teaches you things you wouldn’t even think about when it comes to dog training. I couldn’t have done this without her! With a baby due in mid-May, I was on a time crunch, and they were so understanding. They worked diligently with me to find a schedule and training plan that fit. I never once felt rushed or like a burden—they truly care about you and your dog. Their customer service and care for animals is unmatched. I 100% recommend Dog Training Elite Emerald Coast for anyone looking for professional, compassionate, and effective dog training!

    We needed a trainer very badly for our Berger Picard. We were very skeptical taking him to just anyone. My daughter recommended Dog training Elite , since that is where she took her schnauzer. It’s amazing how he went from not listening to anything to where he is today. Chewbacca was very stubborn, and had anxiety issues really bad. After the first week of training we were amazed how he had changed. In 3 weeks he is now a stable dog, and we are able to take him places with us without him freaking out. And he actually comes when we call him. Thank you so much Jeremiah and Sunny for all the hard work you did with Chewbacca . We would highly recommend Dog training Elite Emerald coast to anyone. And if you get Jeremiah or Sunny for the trainers you will definitely be very pleased .

    Ms Betty, my shepard mix, and I moved to Pensacola in October 2024. When I adopted her I was her fourth home in one year. Needless to say she came wit a lot of issues. I'm so glad that Dog Training Elite was recommended to me! The owner, Tina, and her team are the best! Tina, was so good during our training sessions! She explained everything in detail to where it made sense, she was very patient, and in my opinion is the BEST!

    I cannot recommend this place enough, I wish I had the ability to leave more stars. I was referred to them by a friend and I’m beyond grateful for the recommendation. I was struggling with a shy, timid dog that made it difficult to do anything outside of my house. They gave my boy Rusty some much needed confidence and made him a much more obedient, well behaved dog all around. The staff treated him like one of their own and he was always so excited to be at the facility. I highly recommend this place for any training needs!

    Tina and her team have been fantastic to work with. You could really tell they all love dogs. Amy Frenchie Arlo loved going classes daily. After the weeks of daily training. Tina kept us up-to-date with daily photo posts on a shared drive so we can monitor how Arlo was doing. We loved see the photos and hearing and seeing first hand his progress. Tina does group classes to help reinforce what the dogs learn and for their owners to learn how to operate and handle the dog to match their Training. She has setup Training with the airport to go through TSA as service animals. I am so glad for the continued support and opportunities to reinforce the training not only for my dog but for myself as his owner. It's nice to know the support will continue until both myself snd my dog feel comfortable. Thank you for all of your support, training, and genuine caring for our little Arlo. Here's a funny one where he decided to take a break in the middle of an obstacle course. They kept him busy and tuckered out daily.

    I can't say enough great things about Sunnee! She is incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about helping our two pitbulls and their owners succeed. She worked with us on basic commands and behavior, and her guidance made such a difference. Her calm and professional approach made training enjoyable and effective, and she always took the time to answer our questions and ensure we felt confident. Thanks to her, our dog’s are better behaved and happier than ever. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled and caring dog trainer!"

    When I adopted my puppy from the shelter, he had been abandoned at just four weeks old. Knowing how shelters can be, I wanted to give him a better chance at life. Early on, I started noticing signs of aggression and resource guarding, which became overwhelming. I felt hopeless at times but refused to give up on him, knowing what would happen if he went back. After doing some research, I found Lily, who was incredibly kind and quick to call me to discuss options for building my puppy’s confidence. I ultimately chose Sunnee as our trainer, and I cannot express how grateful I am for her. Sunnee is patient, creative, and truly listens. She has been incredibly supportive, and her passion for training is evident in everything she does. Thanks to her, my puppy has gained the confidence and potential I always knew he had. I highly recommend this place and Sunnee as a trainer—she has made a world of difference for us.

    Sunnee and Tina have done a great job with our puppy Bailey. Bailey is a now 9 month old miniature Schnauzer. Their training program works. Her main bad habit was barking at strangers (ALL strangers anywhere). We were able to train her out of this in no time. She's also getting better about the barking at our home. Great experience and you can tell they really like their Dogs (students). Thanks to the complete staff at EDT. We are really glad the Baileys doctor recommend you.

    My wife, I and JJ had our 2nd in home with Sunnee and it was the best appointment ever. Sunnee and JJ went for a walk and instead of JJ leading the way he walked along side and is the pup we always wanted. Elite Dog Training has been a blessing for my wife and I. JJ is manageable and a joy to have in the house. Before Elite we were at our wits end, now JJ is a pleasure to be in our family. Sunnee and Lily have done a great job with JJ and even turned him into circus dog. It is always fun to see what Sunnee comes up with for a new trick. The whole EDT team will train and love your fur baby. Using EDT would be in your best interest for training or doggie daycare. It is a must!

    I’m only a few lessons in so far and already it’s as though I have a different pup. My dog sits and comes and stays with me. I’m used to older dogs. I got a puppy and really needed help to create a well mannered companion. I don’t feel I could have chosen better than Elite. They always answer my questions. I never feel rushed. They are professional and friendly.

    Second to None! My Belgium Malinois (Scout) is a well-trained, obedient Service Dog thanks to Dog Training Elite. The one-on-one training, group training, compassion, love, and dedication are what set these trainers apart. I'm very confident in taking my service dog anywhere and rely on the training we have received together. The key to success is doing what you love, and the trainers and administration personnel, display it always. I'm very satisfied and will return to them for any other training for future pets.
