Service Dog Training

Dog Training Elite Henderson is proud to offer a range of highly personalized service dog training packages, recognizing the transformative impact these dogs have on individuals with disabilities. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines service dogs as animals individually trained to perform tasks that aid individuals with mental or physical impairments affecting major life activities.

Our service dog training packages cater to diverse needs, assisting in various areas to enhance the quality of life for disabled individuals. Service dogs are legally protected, ensuring non-discrimination in places of residence, employment, and commercial facilities. Whether you choose a fully trained dog or opt to train a service puppy, Dog Training Elite Henderson is committed to supporting your journey to a happier, healthier life.

Service animals, including dogs, miniature horses, pigs, and monkeys, fall under a distinct category, offering specialized assistance tailored to individual needs. Guide dogs assist the visually impaired, seizure response dogs aid during seizures, and other service animals perform specific tasks based on their handlers' requirements. Service animals receive the highest level of legal protection compared to therapy or emotional support animals.

Therapy dogs play a different but equally important role, providing comfort and improving mental well-being in various settings such as hospitals, schools, and retirement homes. While not trained for specific tasks, therapy dogs must have a friendly, calm demeanor and be obedient. Certified therapy dogs bring joy and comfort to those in need.

Emotional support dogs offer relief from loneliness, anxiety, and depression, providing comfort to their handlers. While they are not trained for specific tasks, emotional support animals are sensitive to their handler's emotional changes and provide constant companionship. Although not protected by the ADA, residential buildings must permit emotional support animals.

Dog Training Elite Henderson is dedicated to helping individuals with disabilities find the perfect service dog solution, offering specialized training packages that empower both the handler and the dog for a harmonious and supportive partnership.
