Kim- ADI is a non-profit organization. They are working with legislation to help with the laws regulating service animals and also with helping the facilitation of service and seizure animals for those that need this service. I would hardly think that this organization would be in it to "make money" as you have implied.

I am so happy to hear that you have felt comfortable training your dogs, but not everyone on this forum has experience to do so. many have a hard time with potty training and barking. I do not see anything "simple" about training a dog to be a service animal and I personally don't take it lightly, which is why I posted the ADI's minimum standards... we are talking about people that could have a life debilitating event if their dog is not trained properly. The proper training could save a their life or someone else's. The lack thereof could literally mean death. This is not an area for misinformation as ithe outcome could literally be life or death for a human being.
