Psychiatric Service Dog Tasks 3 Pack

Give your psychiatric service dog a complete toolkit of calming, grounding, and interruption tasks for one discounted bundle price.

This 3-Pack combines three essential psychiatric service dog task trainings into one convenient, affordable package:

• Behavioral Interruption
• Deep Pressure Therapy
• Tactile Stimulation

These three complementary tasks work together to help your dog interrupt distress, provide steady calming pressure, and offer gentle tactile grounding during anxiety, panic, dissociation, PTSD symptoms, freezing, repetitive behaviors, sensory overload, or emotional overwhelm.

Why These Tasks Matter

Handlers consistently report that trained tasks for calming and interrupting anxiety are among the most important and frequently used skills for psychiatric service dogs. Research on PTSD service dogs and psychiatric assistance dogs confirms that interruption and tactile/pressure-based tasks significantly help reduce anxiety-related signals and support emotional regulation in real time.

With this bundle, your dog gains a versatile, layered response system instead of just one isolated skill.

What You’ll Get in the 3-Pack

Behavioral Interruption Course

Teach your dog to safely interrupt specific distress behaviors or patterns. Your dog will learn to offer a controlled response such as a nose nudge, paw tap, chin rest, gentle lick, lean, or light body block.
You’ll cover behavior selection, clear cue words (“interrupt,” “check,” “help,” “nudge,” or “enough”), calm controlled contact, follow-through (building from one interruption to repeated support), release cues, and real-life practice in different settings.

Deep Pressure Therapy Course

Train your dog to apply steady, calming pressure using their body weight in a safe “pressure position.” This task helps with grounding, relaxation, and emotional regulation.

You’ll learn pressure position, cue words (“pressure,” “press,” “lap,” or “cover”), calm contact and stillness, building duration, release cues, pressure adjustment cues (“more” or “easy”), and reliable performance with mild distractions.

Tactile Stimulation Course

Develop gentle touch-based tasks to interrupt overwhelm and bring your handler back to the present moment. Responses include nose nudge, paw tap, chin rest, gentle lick, or light body contact on a chosen target area (hand, arm, leg, lap, or side).
You’ll cover choosing the right tactile behavior, target training, clear cue words (“touch,” “nudge,” “tap,” “check,” or “paw”), gentle controlled contact, building repetition or duration, release cues, and real-life reliability.

Every course in the bundle includes:

• Clear step-by-step video lessons you can follow at home
• Downloadable Training Log PDF to track progress
• Personalized digital certificate of completion
• Breed-specific training tips for Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, Poodles, Boxers, Corgis, and more
• Gentle, positive reinforcement methods with built-in safety reminders for handler comfort and dog stress signals
• 1 full year of access to all course materials and videos

Problems Solved

• Handler needs clear, repeatable tasks for anxiety, panic, dissociation, PTSD symptoms, freezing, repetitive behaviors, sensory overload, or emotional overwhelm
• Dog doesn’t know how to interrupt distress safely or offer useful calming contact
• Dog gets too excited, pushy, wiggly, or inconsistent during close work
• Dog stops too soon or doesn’t understand when a task starts or ends

Who This Bundle Is Perfect For

• Handlers who experience anxiety, panic, dissociation, PTSD symptoms, freezing, repetitive behaviors, sensory overload, or emotional overwhelm
• Dogs older than ~16 weeks
• Dogs who are comfortable with handler interaction and gentle contact
• Dogs learning interruption, redirection, grounding, and calming support work
• Teams who already have basic obedience skills and are ready for task training

These tasks work beautifully together: use Tactile Stimulation or Behavioral Interruption to catch early signs of distress, then follow up with Deep Pressure Therapy for sustained calming and regulation.

What You’ll Get

• Access to this online training course and video lesson for 1 year
• Downloadable Training Log PDF
• Custom digital training course completion certificate emailed to you at completion of the course
