Autistic Companions Therapy Dogs as companions will improve fears of Socializing: Feeling safe and secure with less fear is vital in helping families get out and create new memories daily. When people see the child with there service Dog, it sparks interest and questions that engage the child and encourages them to talk about their dog.

Creating a bond with your Best Friend

The need for every child is different; many families hope a service dog will become their child’s best friend. Having a service dog close to a child is an opportunity for a child to have a best friend who protects them no matter the situation.

Traits to look for when looking to find a dog to accommodate Autistic Children

Larger Breed vs Smaller Breed Dogs.

A Larger breed provides a better chance for a body for snuggling and hugs. Labradoodles are robust and allow a child to pull, poke, and push without becoming hurt or angry. Labradoodles provide security and Love that is suitable as a companion for your child.

When talking about pet dogs, instead of a service or an emotional support dog, provide your child with a new pup with basic obedience training with help with sociability and security. Labradoodles are intelligent dogs that are easy to train, which is an important quality when placed with an Autistic Child.

Are you looking for a Social dog that loves Children and Adults as Autism therapy dogs?

Many dogs are not as social as the Labradoodle for a Child with Autism.
