First off, we'd like to thank our training tutors and for opportunity to take this course, being able to put the techniques we've learned to work. The process made us more deeply connected with our Service Dog, recognizing the traits she instinctively performed by nature and what we conditioned her to do to help us with our specific needs.
This course gave us (the handlers) the tools needed to not only better understand our Service Dog's "vocabulary" (her nonverbal cues/body language and what she's trying to tell us with a bark, a whine, or a yip) but also how to provide the feedback we need to give to her so she can better understand us. It's all about communication! In particular, strengthening our "Dog Speak" lingo was a family favorite in the learning process - i.e., when to use high tones (for playful activities), medium tones (for commands and cues), and low tones (for those times when "No" is needed).
And through the build up from "Eye Contact Training" to "Focus Training", we were able to train our Service Dog to be very well behaved in public and positively respond to all of our verbal/nonverbal cues on command. And then by introducing a response association to our Service Dog (when a medical issue arises), she now recognizes our "tells" and responds to our symptoms with either a "nudge", "crowd block" or even a "kiss kiss" depending on the condition. It's truly amazing to see our Service Dog go in action automatically, having our back anytime at home and in public.
This course has been a game-changer for us, and we are proud to be representative / diplomat of the larger Service Dog Community. Thank you!

I highly recommend this company, as I found it very informative, the lessons were easy if you do the homework, which they provide. You pass through every module in your own time, as you are training your service dog. I was impressed and very happy with the course!

When I first heard about the Service Dog Training School, I wasn't sure I could handle an online experience. It was actually fun, and easy to do. I had a couple of questions along the way, and they were extremely helpful and very prompt with answers.

Excellent consistent instruction. Very dog positive. I didn’t want to use a training service that would be a negative experience for my dog. We were unable to attend twice weekly sessions out of town, so this was an excellent option. All the training is done with love, and their instruction was helpful and timely. A full five stars.

Jack is an excellent dog and I trained him well, however, when my brother got diagnosed with a psychiatric disability and I decided to take care of him, I knew Jack was going to be helpful. When I started looking at training options, I was worried about scams. SDTS put me at ease with all the reviews, staff, and training curriculum. I was very pleased with the results and Jack aced every exam.

I love service dog training school. I was able to get my dog certified to be a psychiatric servic dog for myself & also learn so many things on the way. The tutors are so helpful with the process

The course is very well organized and easy to follow. I very much appreciated having a personal trainer assigned to me whom I could ask questions directly. My dog is deaf so I had to adjust a few things, but my trainer was super helpful. I started out dreading the challenge, but very quickly I understood it was just a fun, constructive way to communicate and connect even better with my pup!

I had a great experience with this dog training program. It was incredibly helpful for both my dog and me. The tutorials were clear, easy to follow, and made the training process feel manageable instead of overwhelming. The assignments were well-structured and easy to fit into our daily routine, which made it simple to stay consistent. I saw real progress and gained a better understanding of how to communicate with my dog. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking for effective, user-friendly dog training.

The course was usefull for me and dog, allowing us to learn new things. I was impressed by how quickly my dog absorbed the information, demonstrating a natural and efforting learning process. Additionally the assessements and feedback of the tutor were always prompt and detailed, as were timely responses from the course staff.

Easy to understand, detailed and practical training material with videos to support learning. Dani and Vincent responded to questions quickly and were very friendly and professional, making the whole process low stress. The first few chapters are short and easy, and the following chapters are longer and more detailed. Don't let that throw you off. Take notes, practice with your dog, and have a friend or family member available to help with taking the required videos.

An amazing program, easy to follow and top-notch customer service! Our co-trainer Dani was amazing, prompt with feedback and no question was too big or too small for her. Appreciated her encouragement throughout the training! I would recommend this program to anyone that has good tempered, easy to train dogs that has the need for a psychiatric service dog.

I am very happy & satisfied with the whole course . Easy to use online training with nicely explained material , and also easily applicable for dog training & making short videos with the skills dog successfully performed.
Throughout the Certified Psychiatric Service Dog Training Course, I feel a growing sense of confidence, purpose, and connection with the material and the training process. In the beginning, I felt somewhat uncertain about how much time and patience would be required to build such a strong emotional and behavioral bond with a service dog. However, as the lessons have progressed, I’ve come to understand that the process is as much about personal growth and emotional awareness as it is about canine behavior and obedience training. Great job in making this whole experience so enjoyable!

Witty is our second service dog — this time for my wife. We’ve been through this process before, so we know the difference between solid support and empty promises. We completed the Psychiatric Service Dog Training & Certification program using an old computer from the school, and everything worked perfectly.
While writing this review, I came across one negative review — and honestly, it doesn’t reflect our experience at all. From start to finish, everything was professional, transparent, and supportive.
Although Witty was already well-trained, I still found the structure and resources of this course incredibly helpful for reviewing tasks, reinforcing public behavior, and getting the proper documentation.
The course is self-paced, well-organized, and backed by real trainers who review your work and provide genuine feedback. It’s not one of those sites that just gives you a certificate for clicking a few buttons — you have to submit real assignments, and that’s exactly what we wanted.
We also chose to purchase the optional ID Kit. It’s not legally required, but in public situations it’s often helpful to have something to show. We were clearly told it was optional, and there was no pressure — we chose it because it makes things easier when travelling or visiting places that might question access.
The certificate is lifetime-valid. The ID card has an expiration date, just like a passport or driver’s license — which is reasonable for keeping information up to date. When I asked about the renewal, the support team immediately offered to cancel it if we preferred. They were very responsive and professional.
This course doesn’t magically train your dog — but it doesn’t claim to. It gives you the tools, structure, and guidance you need to formalize and document the training you’re already doing. For people like us who take this seriously, it’s exactly what we needed.
Highly recommended for anyone committed to doing it right.

In the beginning, I was simply looking for some paperwork to carry when needed — my dog is already fully trained. I purchased an online “Psychiatric Service Dog Training & Certification” course that the company presents as a legitimate way to certify a service dog in the U.S. The course was advertised as a full training program, but what I actually received was a set of DIY written materials and basic videos — no formal evaluation, no live instruction, minimum trainer involvement.
Despite that, the company issued an official-looking certificate claiming my dog completed “120 hours of training.” This is completely false. I finished the entire course in just a few hours over 4 days. If she hadn't been trained, this course would not have provided any value.
The ~$400 price for this “training” is already double what other companies charge for similar DIY programs, and the Service Dog ID card is not included. They upsell a separate “Service Dog ID Kit,” advertised as optional, but the card they issue has an expiration date and automatically enrolls you in a yearly renewal — which they vaguely claim is “required by the regulations”, with no reference to which regulations (this is 100% false in the US where they also operate -- no such requirement exists by law -- ADA reference: ada.gov). After I challenged them, they suddenly offered a “free 20-year card,” proving the expiration was arbitrary and used solely as a pressure tactic.
When I asked for a refund due to clear misrepresentation, they refused and pointed to a “no refund after completion” policy. However, refund policies do not override consumer protection laws when the product is deceptive, contains false claims, or is sold under misleading pretenses.
I am already following the official reporting routes (FTC, state consumer protection office, etc.), but I’m sharing my experience here so others can avoid being misled in the same way.

I’ve recently completed two courses with SDTSI for my Labradors, Raven and Mia, and I can genuinely say this has been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had as a dog owner and handler.
The program is well structured - practical, evidence-based, and easy to follow even with a busy professional schedule. What impressed me most was the school’s balance of professionalism and empathy: the lessons focus not only on technical training but on building a deep, trusting bond between handler and dog.
My dogs were already well-trained and responsive, but the course helped us formalize our teamwork and gave us the official certification and confidence to navigate public settings more smoothly. The support team, especially Dani, has been exceptional - responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. They went above and beyond to help with travel guidance and logistics for our upcoming international trips.
This certification will truly make our lives easier, and I’m deeply grateful to the entire SDTSI team for creating such an accessible, high-quality program. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to strengthen their connection with their dog while gaining professional-level recognition.

The written content was easy to digest, relevant and applicable. Assignments directly correlated to all of the reading material. When it came time to learn about the training and implement it, I felt well equipped and supported by my trainer. I was able to get my golden retriever certified in time for his first flight all the way across the coast from Oregon to New York.
In addition, as a licensed marriage and family therapist, his status as a service dog has been a wonderful complement to my practice. Highly recommend!
