[nagdu] Certification?

Sun Jan 25 16:08:15 UTC 2009

Interesting. What do people think about having certification? Have people 
who train their own dogs ever run into a situation where someone needed 
proof of certification? On the flip side, does anyone feel that people have 
been trying to get away with "This is my self trained service dog" when it 
was just a pet?

Hi Nicole,

There are a number of places on the internet where one could buy a
certificate which says that the dog is a service dog.  Anyone can buy
them for any dog if they so choose.

There are a couple of programs which will test your dog and then
"certify" it but because there is no national "certification" for
assistance dogs this IMHO is pretty meaningless unless you're
traveling overseas where the country does demand some sort of
certification as a condition of access.
