Service Dog owners who have chosen to go through the process of accepting Service Dog Standards conduct themselves better and have fewer access issues in housing, employment, education and while traveling.
We provide free, community-defined training and behavior standards for Service Dog teams, trainers and organizations. Together, we can make a kinder, more educated and accessible world for everyone.
Peace-of-mind for all
Tenants, passengers, employees or guests use Service Dog Standards to offer a measure of assurance that they understand their responsibilities and what is involved with being partnered with a service dog as well as their rights and privileges.
Better educated
Schools, colleges and universities use Service Dog Standards to help educate students and staff who are partnered with Service Dogs about their obligations and responsibilities to make campus and dorm life function more smoothly for everyone.

Service Dog Standards is designed for both newer teams and those that have been active for years.
All dog breeds & sizes are allowed
The ADA does not discriminate against different breeds or sizes of dogs – large or small – and neither do we. It’s the training and behavior that matters.
Service Dogs in Training are welcome
New teams should start working towards meeting Service Dog Standards as soon as possible. Everyone has to start somewhere, including dogs.
Built for Owner-Trainers & Program-Trained Dogs
Whether you’re training your dog yourself, working with a private trainer or have received your dog fully-trained from an organization, Service Dog Standards can help.
