A well-trained and well-behaved Companion Dog for Children with Autism acts as constant companions to children with autism to help them improve social interactions and relationships, expand verbal and nonverbal communication, teach life skills, increase interest in activities and decrease stress within the family. The training doesn’t pass judgment, but breaks into the world of autism and becomes a crucial part of the family’s life.
Our online Certified Companion Dog Training for Autism Children Course was developed by the SDTSI team of trusted, experienced behavioral experts, who have 30+ years of combined professional animal care and dog training experience.
This course is spread over 8 distinct modules, covering everything you need to learn about having a Companion Dog: condition them to provide companionship, helping to bring independence and a more socially inclusive life to both the child and their family.
