There are many variations of “service dogs” and not one specific list of requirements to fulfill in order to create a service dog. We have helped train many dogs to assist their owners in various service roles through all of our levels of classes and private training. Our criteria for service dog training is participating in our Real World Obedience class, completing all levels of the AKC CGC certifications, and additionally an option for certification through Therapy Dogs International as a dog/human therapy team.
