Specialized Dog Training for Children who Need Emotional Support

Emotional support dogs can transform your child’s life. These companion dogs can not only support your child with physical limitations but with mental health needs. If your child is feeling unsettled at home, school, or social settings, consider adopting an emotional support dog to aid with daily tasks, detect the signs of a psychiatric episode, and/or prevent one from injuring themselves or others. 

Regis Regal has been incredibly successful in providing emotional support dogs to children with anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, trauma, and other psychological disorders. Our German Shepherds are bred, raised, and trained with the purpose of providing emotional support and relief for your family.
