No problems at all, some advice to all this is to help. Please take it as such. No need for negative feedback. I did not write the rules, requirements, or anything else. I've had two Service Dogs and these are the steps I took, and achieved the purpose I needed to. Read / Ask Questions / Contact by Phone / Veterans go through your VA. Contact the Service Animal POC at your VA, Below are the steps I took and had no issues. 1. Get a letter from your Doctor stating that your quality of life would improve by having a Service Dog. Your (NEED) has to meet requirements to qualify with a Disability according to the ADA. * No there is no official certification, Take your and read the American Disabilities Act (ADA). 2. Find the POC, "If" you want insurance through the VA they will have a list of Training Centers they approve. I signed a document opting out of the insurance. * Even if you turn down the insurance they can still provide you with the list of training sites they use. 3. Go through a basic handling course. Pretty much any chain pet stores provide this training. Must training sites I've seen a basic handling and obedience evaluation will be given. I have seen animals denied for not having the basics. Ask questions, think how many different tasks are out there to assist people to improve their daily activities. * Take your and read the American Disabilities Act (ADA). Do your research / Read everything for yourself / Ask questions even if you think you know. (You know nothing) / Get contact numbers, most importantly names of contacts. Veterans go through your VA.
