More than a Companion
The benefits of having an assistance dog are immeasurable. Although different with every child, they often provide companionship, reduce anxiety and depression, improve social skills, increasing social interactions and improving sensory integration, increase independence and self-esteem, promote physical activity and healthy habits. Often times, an autism dog can function as a living and breathing sensory integrative tool. Calming effects have been noted by many of our clients.

Phoebe
Utilized the Online Video Series
My local Autism Society support group referred me to Companion Training. At this point I don’t know how I got along without a Service Dog in our lives. It has been invaluable for my son. There was more to the training than I had expected, but it ended up being well worth it. I recommend this course to anyone looking to train a service dog for their child.
Lydia
Utilized both the Online Video Series & Personal Coaching
I would recommend TJ to anyone for dog training. He has a lot of experience and loves what he does. He was punctual, professional, and positive through the whole process. We trained a service dog for my special needs son. TJ was so patient and kind. He knows dogs and is very passionate about teaching them to help people. I felt he truly wants to help people have a better life.

Utilized the Online Video Series
Our experience with Companion Training was very professional. We had been turned down by several agencies due to funding restrictions, while others had a waiting list of 1 year out or more. We used the online courses to train my daughters Service Dog for her ASD. I’ve already seen a decrease in meltdowns and an increase in social interactions. The calming effect has been the biggest improvement for us.
