Service Dog Certification Online - Real or Scam?

Service Dog Certification Online -- What You NEED to Know!

🚨 Thinking about getting a service dog certification online? STOP! 🚨

Before you waste money on a fake service dog registration, real service dog ID card, or federal service dog registration, watch this video!

📌 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✔️ Do service dogs need certification? (Hint: NO)
✔️ The truth about federal service dog registration (hint: you don't NEED it)
✔️ How to get a service dog certificate the RIGHT way (IF you want)
✔️ Is a free service dog registration legit? (Hint: NO)
✔️ How to legally prove your dog is a service dog without a certification (Hint: Businesses can't require you to prove it -- but if you ever come across legal trouble, you want back up to show your Service Dog is Legit).

Many scam websites claim to offer legitimate service dog registration or an official ADA service dog certification/ID card/Vest, but there is NO federally recognized service dog registration and/or database.

In fact, I don't think there is such a thing as a "legitimate service dog registration" in the US as the ADA doesn't require it at all.

Legitimate certifications are OPTIONAL and people CHOOSE to get one to have a third party perform the public access test, they want an unbiased third party to review their service dog's training to ensure they aren't a public safety risk, and they may want one for traveling internationally (different countries have different laws).

In this video, I explain why you should avoid paying for an ID card, vest, or online certification and what actually makes a service dog legally recognized.
