Role of Emotional Support Dogs
An ESD is different than a Service Animal. Service Animals are specially trained dogs that performs work or taste for those with a disability. Service Animals include Guide, Hearing, Seizure, or Psychiatric Service Dogs.
Emotional Support Dog Kent provide a therapeutic benefit to their owner. A well-trained ESD is capable of being in public without causing a disturbance. Instead of performing specific tasks like a Service Dog, the presence and interaction of an ESD can ease the symptoms of an Anxiety Disorder. An Emotional Support Dog Kent ESD offers a calming presence during times of distress by sensing and responding to the emotional needs of their owner.
Emotional Support Dog Kent assists individuals with anxiety by providing comfort, companionship, and a sense of security. A Emotional Support Dog Kent primary purpose is to offer emotional support and alleviate the symptoms associated with anxiety disorders. They help individuals with anxiety by providing a non-judgmental and unconditional source of love and support. Additionally, Emotional Support Dog Kent ESDs alert their owners to potential triggers or signs of anxiety, such as increased heart rate or shallow breathing.

A Emotional Support Dog Kent ESD is trained specifically for someone diagnosed with an Anxiety Disorder can predetermine a high-stress situation for their owner. They can prevent their owner from heightened anxiety levels by avoiding the problem altogether.
However, if an owner’s anxiety has reached high levels, ESD can reduce their panic and fear. They can completely stop an attack from happening by laying on their owner, encouraging interaction, or removing their owner from the trigger.
People with Anxiety Disorders often miss their own cues of panic. An Emotional Support Dog Kent ESD can sense a quickened heart rate or hear its owner’s breathing pattern change. They can change their owner’s state of mind before the owner is even aware of it.

MEET JULIE OUR EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DOG RESIDENTIAL DOG TRAINER
"A professional dog trainer with over twenty years experience supporting people with anxiety"
Hello, my name is Julie Emery MCPDCS, MOC, MSFTR and I am the lead dog behaviourist at Emotional Support Dog Training Kent and in 2024 was awarded a Diploma in Service Dog Training "Distinction".
I am DBS checked and fully insured to train autism support dogs and to accredit teams (owner, child and dog) in Public Access Training allowing you to take you dog into public places otherwise out of bounds to general dog owners.
My home is located in Maidstone and by living close to the M20 / M25 therefore I am easily accessible to support clients in general dog obedience / behavioural modification and of course my speciality being a professional autism support dog trainer supporting families across the UK.
For over twenty years I have closely supported children and their families and devised IEP's for those children for them to reach their full potential. I then facilitated ( in partnership with outside help) their transition to access education in Reception. Within this time, I witnessed and supported children if they had emotional outbursts due to their neurodivergence, closely monitoring them and liaising with parents and relevant agencies.
I have had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of dogs and owners who suffer with anxiety, panic attacks and require tailored individual support. It has been a rewarding experience for me to see the progress these dogs have made under our bespoke Emotional Support Dog Training Kent residential service. Having developed a variety of skills when it comes to dog training and behavioural modification, 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 Emotional Support Dog Training Kent I possess 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. Emotional Support Dog Training Kent are committed to making sure that each dog I work 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.
When we have neurodivergence in our families it can really take a toll on the whole family's well being. It is tough both physically and mentally. For some, a huge support would be an autism assistance dog trained by myself . Our dogs, when they are part of our family, give us unconditional love, joy and if needed, comfort.
For a neurodivergent child or adult the world can be a frightening place, our studies have shown that a Kent Trained Emotional Support Dog will support you and your family in and outside of the home promoting your child with confidence, reassurance and a strong sense of purpose which will allow you to take your dog into public places including shops, restaurants, medical care facilities and even school!
Our dogs don't judge or have negative opinions, by having a supporting best friend can be truly life changing as navigating the world can be very difficult for children or adults on the spectrum. Not only can a dog make life less challenging for the child or adult it can also have a huge, positive impact on the whole family.
Whilst your dog is under my care he /she would live inside my family alongside my very loving pet dogs and our residential dog training package can also cover the needs of adults and children who suffer with anxiety, panic attacks and neurodivergence based disorders.
I look forward to hearing from you.
