Does anyone know what it takes to certify a dog as a Service or Therapy Dog? I know under the ADA you can take a service dog anywhere and never have to disclose your illness nor show proof of the dog being a certified dog.... but certification adds credibility because, from speaking with people with service dogs, most people don't understand ADA laws so still deny access or inquire about service dogs.
I thought it would be kinda cool to certify a dog as a Therapy dog, I doubt it requires much more than good obedience? Was just curious as to where one would go for this, as well as what requirements are. I know you don't need to be disabled to have a therapy dog, you can own a therapy dog to visit hospitals and let people pet your dog too.
