An autism support dog training Kent dog can provide independence by allowing the child to walk with the dog as opposed to constantly holding the hand of a parent or adult. A highly skilled autism assistance dog training Kent dog can assist a child while under the direction of the adult. Many children may eventually be capable of handling the dog as well.

Hello, my name is Ciara, I have autism and ADHD.
My home is located just outside of London in the Borough of Reigate and Banstead, Surrey. By living close to the M25 I am easily accessible to support clients in general dog obedience / behavioural modification and of course autism support dog training supporting families across the UK.
I have been professionally training dogs for several years including general dog obedience and autism assistance dog training Kent. I initially trained my own pet dog to support myself and from this success decided to help others who suffer from autism providing a structured and bespoke one, two and three weeks autism support dog training programmes.
As an autistic trainer myself, it is something that was natural for me to learn the necessary skills and understanding required for supporting autistic owners and their autism assistance dogs. I have had the opportunity to work with several dogs and owners with autism. It has been a rewarding experience for me to see the progress these dogs have made with the proper training. Having developed a variety of skills when it comes to dog training, I am patient and understanding with each client and dog I work with and sensitive to their needs and how they respond to different training methods.
At autism assistance dog Kent Ciara has extensive knowledge on the best ways to communicate with dogs and how to get the best results out of them. I also understand how to work with the owners of the dogs and how to implement the training successfully. Autism service dog Kent are committed to making sure that each dog Ciara works with feels comfortable and has a positive experience with their training and are learning in a safe and enjoyable environment being confident in my ability to help any dog and owner with autism reach their full potential.
In addition, I always take time to understand the lifestyle of each family I work with to find the right end result for them. Each team will receive an extensive training programme to help them to care and work with their dog. Once this is established, I can provide ongoing support and aftercare to the family throughout the dog’s working life and beyond.
I focus on relationship building. With our bespoke autism dog training programmes, autism assistance dogs Kent and handlers learn the key skills required to succeed in their life together. All advice and techniques provided are kind, positive and force-free by autism support dog Kent behaviourists. This ensures that the training is enjoyed by both human and canine and that your dog is successful with their learning using rewards and encouragement. Play and food are huge motivators for our dogs and make up large parts of training.
During your pets autism assistance dog training Kent residential training stay I will work on developing your dog's confidence in aiding the autistic child or adult to focus in unfamiliar environments. Your dog will be trained in providing a calming presence, learning how to interrupt certain behaviours, provide a distraction when an unwanted behaviour is displayed, and in the case of children
especially, keeping them safe by preventing bolting and any other potentially unsafe activity.
Here at autism assistance dog Kent I can teach methods to proof behaviours, this ensures our dogs are able to cope with the many different environments and public places they may be asked to visit as assistance dogs. Through my own experiences I understand the way to motivate dogs required for the autism support dog role allowing them to learn the difficult tasks required for the role.. All autism assistance dog training Kent dog training is done in a way that ensures the dog remains motivated for their work.
It can be very difficult to manage meltdowns and sensory needs when you are a person with autism. Fortunately, an autism assistance dog Kent can be trained to help in this area. I can help dogs learn to provide calming, comforting and redirecting commands such as placing their paw on the child's leg, providing sensory input or snuggling or laying their head in the child's lap.
Having an autism assistance dog Kent as a best friend is an amazing opportunity for autistic people. Not only do they have an unconditional friend who loves them, but they also benefit from better sleep, comfort, and social connections. I can train autism assistance dogs to lie with their owner, so they are able to snuggle and find comfort when they wake up at night and to provide support to manage more easily in social settings.
Additionally, having an assistance dog training Kent pet can be a great source of comfort and consistency for adults and children with autism during transitions when anxiety may be high, allowing families to go more places with the support of their service dog. Autism support dogs Kent are trained to settle in appropriate spaces to aid in this.
Tracking and tethering are two important services that I can teach assistance dogs to provide to clients with autism. Tracking involves training the dog to recognise the autistic person’s scent and lead a carer to them in an emergency. Tethering is another way to keep the person with autism safe in public spaces. Your dog will be trained to wear a harness and a second leash is attached to the child's belt or backpack. This creates a physical boundary that allows the person requiring support to walk but prevents them from leaving. The handler must be holding on to the primary leash to provide direction and supervision.
The above autism assistance dog training Kent services are invaluable for people with autism. I can also train assistance dogs to give calming effects of deep pressure through a head or full-body rest, and carers are taught how a dog can be part of a strategy to interrupt repetitive behaviours. All results are dependent on the skills the dog can already do successfully and in which environments.
All dogs are different by breed, individual characteristics, age and of course dog training skills already achieved having been taught by family members. With this in mind at autism assistance dog Kent we offer one, two and three weeks bespoke autism assistance dog residential packages which offer the appropriate time to allow myself to teach your dog the skills required to become a successful autism support dog whilst managing your budget at the same time.
I look forward to supporting you and your family in the training your dog within one of our autism assistance dog training programmes, Ciara.
