the Service Dog Trainers Association™

the Service Dog Trainers Association™ has been pairing American military members past and present with Service Dogs around the world since 2006. The organization was established on the basis and ability to "Train your own" Service Dog. Opening a role of communication and bonding essential to the Alert process. The directives for the organization parallel only those written in the American with Disabilities Act of 1990, revisions in 2010,and revisions in 2015. Currently only dogs are in our training program. 

Only recently have we grown to support civilians of the community and welcome all disabled individuals to become (handler) members. Support positions for progressive trainer (+R) members are also available.

Embedded in our mission is obedience training and foundations outlined in the American Kennel Club© (STAR Puppy, Canine Good Citizen, Community Canine, and Urban Canine) programs.
