Seizure Response Dog in Utah County, UT

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 Utah County 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 Utah County 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.

    Deidre was so kind and respectful. She patiently answered all of our questions and explained the training process thoroughly. Communication with Dog Training Elite has exceeded all expectations!

    Deidre came over to evaluate my dog, Zieva, and I was incredibly impressed. She was awesome—professional, informative, and clearly passionate about what she does. She walked me through the training program and all the plans they offer in a way that was easy to understand and encouraging. What really stood out to me was her empathy—Deidre has personal experience with PTSD, which helped her truly understand the type of support I’m looking for in a service dog. That connection and insight meant a lot to me. I'm looking forward to working with her!

    Deidre and Meagan are absolutely fantastic at what they do! We started training with a 12 week old puppy and were just beside ourselves - she was having constant accidents in the house and we had no idea what we were doing. We even had the puppy in diapers! We called Dog Training Elite and they got us in the schedule right away! Our dog, although still young, doesn’t have accidents anymore (no more diapers - yay!!) and has even learned a few commands that are just a bonus for us. We couldn’t be happier with what we got in the puppy training package! If you’re considering doing training, I’d say go for it, there’s no way you will regret having a well-behaved dog and that’s exactly what you will get. Thank you for everything!! 😊

    Dog Training Elite has been *incredible*! We adopted are doggie 2 months ago and I cannot believe the success we have had in just the 3-4 training sessions we have had with Deidre. On top of that, the personalized support I receive throughout the week when I have questions or need moral support has been invaluable. I highly, highly recommend them!

    I am so happy with Dog Training Elite!! I was hesitant to spend the money, but cared about my dog getting over his anxiety issues, IF possible. I wasn't sure we could help him. I had already spent quite a bit of money with online courses that didn't work. In a last ditch effort to help my little pup, I did a google search and found Dog Training Elite. I thought about it for a few days before calling. They were very nice and scheduled a visit that day. Deidre came out and spent some time with us and assessed my dog and explained everything thoroughly. Their payment plan made it doable for me and I scheduled our training sessions. After only 2 visits, I'm ecstatic with his progress! Deidre is definitely a dog whisperer. I now have so much hope for my sweet dog's future. I HIGHLY recommend Deidre and Dog Training Elite!
