Course Overview
Emotional support and psychiatric service dogs play an important role in improving daily life for people with anxiety, PTSD, depression, and other emotional challenges. We value the deep bond between dogs and their humans, and we are committed to helping you develop that connection through meaningful, task-driven training.
With over 20 years of experience in service dog training, we provide structured virtual sessions, personalized feedback, and lifelong support for both you and your dog.
What Our Virtual Emotional Support Dog Training Involves
Our virtual emotional support dog training focuses on teaching your dog skills that help you feel supported, understood, and safe in a wide range of real-world environments. We acknowledge that each person and dog is unique, and we tailor our training plans to your specific needs. This interactive course is highly engaging and feedback-intensive, guiding you step by step so you and your dog become a coordinated team.
Throughout the program, we work with you on skills that include:
- Understanding core service dog training principles
- Learning the difference between psychiatric service dogs and other types of service dogs
- Training specific task behaviors that support emotional needs
- Teaching your dog to behave reliably in public places
All training happens through live video sessions, enabling us to observe real behavior and help you implement effective techniques right away.
We also require weekly Zoom check-ins after the first two weeks to ensure progress stays on track and to refine your training approach as needed.
Experience The Benefits
Why Virtual Emotional Support Dog Training Works
You might wonder if remote training is as effective as in-person classes. Modern virtual training tools make it possible to deliver high-quality instruction online, without sacrificing accountability or results. At Fetch and More, we’ve successfully adapted our methods to the virtual format, allowing you to receive expert guidance without travel, stress, or disruptions.
Working in your dog’s natural environment helps promote reliable behavior where it matters most — in daily life situations. Training in context with your home and routines leads to stronger retention and better real-world responses. Our trainers use interactive teaching strategies, clear demonstrations, and cooperative coaching so you feel supported throughout the journey.
