Seizure Response Dog in Worcester, MA

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 Worcester 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.

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 Worcester 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.

    Fourth session. Working on "heel". Matt is so knowledgeable about training and explains the process perfectly. I am so impressed with how much Maxx, my husband and I have learned. Can't wait for our next session.

    We had a wonderful consultation with Tiffany at our apartment, and she was fantastic! She’s incredibly friendly and approachable, making the entire experience comfortable for both my dog and me. Tiffany provided a wealth of helpful information and clear, tailored guidance to meet our specific needs. We’re excited to start training!

    We had our assessment today and it went great! Marcus was wonderful. I have confidence we will gain lots from training. Had our 1st class today with Matt K. He is very knowledgeable and is way to work with. Looking forward to more! Had our 2nd class today with Tiffany. We are all learning a lot and I believe I will have a better behaved and happier dog. Looking forward to next week. We just finished our last class and feel we have come along way. Matt K has been very patient with both our dog Beau and us. He is walking pretty better, and we know how to work with his reactiveness. We. still have socialization to work on in group classes. Tiffany and Matt K did a few sessions together with us to help with a specific issue. Overall,this has been a great experience.

    We just finished our second day of training and we absolutely love working with our trainer. Every week we are becoming better trained and our puppy is doing a fantastic job. We really do believe that a big portion of a well trained dog is having well trained parents. We are getting better everyday thanks to DTE!

    Matt is SO helpful. Marvin and I are making great progress with his firm but kind approach. And he is patient with me as well! Marvin knows place, sit, down, back to sit, come. Not jumping. Working on walking and pulling less. Happy boy!!

    I can't express enough how impressed I am by this company. They are on top of communications, and very respectful of your time. Patrick especially was extremely knowledgable, professional and friendly. Do yourself (and your dog) a favor and sign up!

    Matt is truly a dog person. He understands them and my dog loves him. He doesn’t get upset if you’re doing a command wrong and will correct you as many times as it takes. I recommend him and Elite 100% to anyone who’s looking to train your puppy!!

    He was very professional and attentative to my dogs needs. He was confident and it showed by how he was able to take control of the dog without hurting him.

    Matt has been patient, clear, and very intentional in his work with my dog and me. I highly recommend him, as well as the team at Dog Training Elite. In 6 sessions, I have seen the rewards of the training on our rescue dog in so many ways & have learned skills that I will use everyday.

    Patrick came and did assessment of our dog and took time to listen to us and hear what we wanted to do with training for our almost 1 year old dog. i feel so relieved and happy that we will learn (and out dog) how to handle any situation with ease. We completed individual lessons which Patrick listened to our requests and did training in walks meeting dogs and in the field and gave us so many new ways to interact and create learning with our dog. We are going on to group lessons next so building on what we have done and just really keep our dog well behaved in many situations. thank you Patrick and Elite dog training!

    The communication and information has been great from Dog Training Elite. A trainer (Matt) came very punctual to do a no-cost assessment, meet our dog and even brought his 1.5 year old pup to demonstrate the training that has been done first hand. Very fair pricing for training that will last a lifetime for our dog.

    DTE was very flexible working with my erratic schedule. The trainers I worked with were professional, knowledgeable, and personal. I would recommend to anyone for basic or therapy dog training.

    We just had our free consultation done and Marcus was great. He was very calm and collected when meeting our pups, answered all of our questions in a way that we could understand, and after his live demo with his pup we knew it was worth the investment.
