What Does It Mean To Be Certified?
It means your dog has been trained to perform the work or task as a service dog.
The primary purpose of certification is to ensure that your dogs are fully trained as a service dog and their handlers understand how to lead their Assistance Dog/Service Dog through everyday situations, such as going to a shop, a park, a hospital, a care home or any other public places.
