Seizure Response Dog in Sarasota / Venice, 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 Sarasota / Venice 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 Sarasota / Venice 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.

    Denise was prompt and extremely knowledgeable of proper dog training with use of various teaching modalities. My dog was very comfortable meeting Denise and so was I!!! I would recommend obedience training with Dog Training Elite.

    Jessica has been an absolute blessing for our family. We are expecting a baby in a couple of months and our french bulldog(Luna) was starting to show signs of resource guarding and crate aggression. She had bitten me, my wife, and my mother. A couple weeks later with the help of Jessica, Luna has completely done a 180. You can really tell that she cares deeply for dogs and has made a genuine bond with our dog. We are rebuilding our relationship with Luna and training obedience. 5/5 stars definitely worth the money. We no longer have any fears of keeping Luna in our family!

    Today My dog Nova and I did our Public Access Test. Our trainer Renee Juliano a highly trained Dog Handler with Dog Training Elite. This test is to ensure that dogs that have public access are stable. The Bottom Line of this test is that Nova demonstrates she is safe to be in public and that I demonstrates I has control of Nova at all times. Our final Result was "Pass." Renee is a valuable quality skill in her trade nothing but the best.

    5 stars aren’t enough to praise our experience with Dog Training Elite. We are 8 weeks into the program and Alisa has been phenomenal as our in-home trainer. Her knowledge and patience was critical not only with Roxy, but with us too. We learned that successful training is just as much up to us as it is to the dog (if not moreso). She customized her approach and sped up and slowed down as needed based on how we all performed. She also touched base with us in between our weekly sessions and answered all our questions and concerns along the way. Group training on Saturdays has also taken Roxy to a whole new level of confidence and Jess, Anthony & Renee have been a tremendous help. Thank you all!

    My initial introduction to Dog Training Elite today exceeded my expectations. Although my puppy is only 7 months old, this will be the THIRD time enrolling in Dog Training and Obedience classes. After completing our evaluation, I feel confident my young boy will excel throughout the classes we have enrolled in. We discussed my concerns regarding my puppy's high-strung behavior and difficulty in focusing. In the short period of time we were there, the trainer demonstrated a few basic ways, when applied consistently , how my puppy responded with relative ease. With that said, given the proper instructions and my determination to work with my little boy, I'm excited to see him grow into a happy, eager to please fun companion.

    Tony is excellent! He has been getting our dog ready to pass the service test and is always available for any questions and very quick to assist us with any difficulties that arise WITHOUT amplifying our anxiety. I could not have asked for a better trainer!!!

    Renee at Elite Dog Training is most certainly the premier dog and handler whisperer. I have a beautiful, but originally sky/skittish Labradoodle that she helped me grow into a confident, fully functioning service dog. I am forever grateful for everyone at Elite Dog Training. The skills coaching is superb but more than anything it’s the “little” things she said that motivated me and Leah build confidence over time.

    Again great info from Jessica. Sent her a text about 8 am with an issue that developed yesterday and 3 hours later she was here to help out and will swing by late afternoon to make sure we are good with the crate I bought today. She is so focused on what she is trying to accomplish. You cannot beat that.
