About service dog training in Ohio
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), service dogs do not require any specific certification or registration. However, reputable training is essential — a poorly trained dog can create dangerous situations in public settings and may legally be excluded from businesses that would otherwise welcome a trained service animal.
We recommend starting with ADI's official member directory when choosing a training program. ADI accreditation is the gold standard in the service dog industry.
