Without a doubt, we needed help

Without a doubt, when we get another dog, we’ll be sending it to SDCA and Adam!
Buster, our 10-month-old black Lab, is now pure joy to be around. He went through obedience training and then public access training. He was definitely rowdier than most, and we needed help.

At my daughter’s soccer game, I saw a dog not much older than Buster, off-leash, playing fetch. He would run back to heel position after retrieving the ball and sit with it in his mouth until commanded to drop it. I thought, Holy $#@! That’s cool—I want Buster to do that! So I introduced myself and asked about the dog’s training. That’s how I found out about SDCA. The owner spoke very highly of them, and now I can see why.

Buster’s obedience is 100 times better. He’s no longer a liability. No more bolting out the front door, pulling on the leash, ignoring recall, jumping on guests, digging, etc. He’s now a pleasure to be with—an amazing part of our family. It was worth every single dollar, and we are forever grateful.
Thank you for your expertise and the love you showed our dog.

P.S. Now, I’m asked about Buster’s training a couple of times a week when we’re out playing fetch. The frisbee, ball, anything you throw (or even accidentally drop!) he brings back by running around your right side to the left into perfect heal and sits with the object! He goes everywhere with us. One of the coolest things? On our morning walks to Starbucks, he’ll wait patiently at the door for his puppuccino and not budge until I give the break command!

I had an amazing experience with SDCA

I had an amazing experience with SDCA! They where incredibly helpful and friendly. Adam went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied, and he resolved my issue quickly. I had inputted the wrong DOB on the order form and didn't realize it until I received the package. I offered to pay for a new one but he would not have it, even though it was my fault! Now I understand why they are so highly recommended.

Second dog with SDCA

Second dog with SDCA. We had no issue with airline, hotels or restaurants in Israel or International travel. All products very nice.

Top Notch Training

We sent our “baby” out to Albuquerque from here in San Jose after interacting with a co-workers service dog at the office. I was so impressed I got their info. OMG! Awesome doesn’t even come close to the transformation. We sent out our unruly little girl for a 3 week boarding program and got back a obedient mobility aide dog that was hand delivered. They stayed for a two day period and went through all of her new skills and tasks. Down side is it took 4 months to get in the program so recommend contacting them before you get a new dog to get everything setup before hand. The Smith family thanks you guys for hard work

Does not work for Canada or Europe

The service does not work for residents outside the USA. Even if Adam tells you otherwise, if you're Canadian and traveling abroad, the regulations are different and the certification is no more valuable than what you can buy on Amazon. I never received my refund even though I returned all the equipment. It was a bad experience for me.

Reliable and Professional – Highly Recommend

As the owner of a pet travel and relocation service, I’ve worked with SDCA for years on behalf of my clients. Their service has always been reliable and professional. In a recent time-sensitive case, Adam’s handling was exceptional — responsive, transparent, and fully committed to resolving the issue in time for our client’s travel. That kind of accountability is exactly what you hope for in this line of work — and SDCA delivers. Highly recommended for anyone needing service dog certification done right

Exceptional Service and Professionalism!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Service Dog Certification of America (certifymydog.com), and I couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience. From the moment I visited their website, it was clear that they offer a professional, and straightforward process for service dog certification.

The process was seamless and user-friendly. The website is well-organized, making it easy to navigate and find all the necessary information. I particularly appreciated the detailed step-by-step instructions that helped me understand the entire certification process. The ability to access all the necessary forms and documents online was incredibly convenient and saved me so much time.

When I received my service dog’s certification and ID card, it came in a timely manner and was of the highest quality. The certificates and ID cards are professionally designed and give me the confidence that my service dog’s status is officially recognized.

Overall, Service Dog Certification of America provided outstanding service and made the certification process much easier than I expected. They’ve truly simplified the process and offered excellent value for the service provided. If you’re looking to certify your service dog, I highly recommend certifymydog.com!

Terrific Service

Over a number of years I have worked with Service Dog Certification of America. They have always been extremely courteous and helpful. They have always addressed all my questions and concerns thoroughly and politely. Most recently, Adam was a gem!

Customer for Life

I was over at a friends house who also has a service dog basically complaining that I was having a difficult time locating a vest for my dog. I told him that the companies I had contacted were not listening to what my needs were. Sure, some were polite but they all were trying to sell me a bunch of crap I didn't want or need. He told me to contact SDCA, and let me say how glad I was in doing so! I spoke with a gentlemen named Adam and the patience this man had with me was incredible (I can be difficult especially when frustrated). He was friendly, polite, knowledgeable and most importantly, a great listener. He assisted me in my selection and even told me how we could customize it more to my specific needs. I cannot recommend SDCA enough and will be taking my business there from here on out! Thank you SDCA!!
