Dog Standards represents community-defined training and behavior standards for handlers and their Service Dogs. Accepting these standards is a way of voluntarily holding yourself and your animal to a higher standard which goes above and beyond the law.

This guide is designed to not only help with expectations and requirements for Service Dog trainers and handlers but to also serve as a resource that covers commonly overlooked pitfalls and issues that handlers experience.
