Seizure Response Service Dog Training

Living with a seizure disorder requires constant awareness, preparation, and safety protocols. At Meika's Helping Paws, our seizure response service dog training focuses on building a dependable partnership that helps manage emergencies, increase safety, and foster independence.

  • Alert & Response Skills: Perform trained alert behaviors prior to an episode (if scent-capable) and physical cushioning during a seizure.
  • Emergency Assistance: Trigger emergency alert systems, retrieve rescue medication, or alert family members and bystanders.
  • Post-Seizure Recovery: Provide Deep Pressure Therapy (DPT) to assist with recovery and guide handlers to safe locations.

Goal: Help clients and families gain practical support for greater daily peace of mind.
