Service Dogs for Psychiatric Needs & Emotional Support
Service Dogs can be trained to assist individuals with psychiatric needs such as anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Our world-class German Shepherds are trained to provide emotional support to help their handlers manage their psychiatric symptoms.
Similar to service dogs for physical needs, psychiatric service dogs can sense changes in their handler's mood and behavior. In these times, the dog can offer comfort, companionship, and safety during times of distress. They are trained to perform tasks like grounding techniques, deep pressure therapy, and intervening to prevent self-desctructive behaviors. They can also accompany their owners in public spaces to reduce anxiety in social situations, create physical barriers if needed, and provide a sense of security.
Service Dogs for Anxiety
There are many benefits of a service dog or emotional support dog, especially for anxiety. There are various symptoms of anxiety including restlessness, easily fatigued, difficult sleeping, feelings of unease or self-consciousness , or phobias. Service dogs are specially trained to ease tension or anxious feelings. These tasks could include:
- Recognizing signs of an anxiety attack and calming a person down.
- Getting someone to help during an anxiety attack.
- Retrieving a phone when in distress.
Prevent a stranger to approach when in distress.
These tasks could be especially helpful for children with anxiety. Studies have shown that children experiencing anxiety, certain phobias, or tension in social settings benefit from the support of a companion dog. Daily use of a service dog can help build confidence and independence.
Service Dogs for Depression
Depressive disorders can cause severe, persistent, and disabling symptoms. Service dogs like German Shepherds can provide comfort just by petting. However with our specialized service dog training for emotional support, these therapy dogs can
- Improve mental health by comforting one in need.
- Keeping one calm in stressful situations or around strangers.
- Helping keep one safe during a depressive episode.
- Can be trained to call 911 or get help in an emergency.
