The Association maintains a public register of certified Holistic Therapy Dogs, searchable by any member of the public without an account.

What certification recognises

Service dogs are trained. Clinical therapy dogs are evaluated. The dog who simply is somebody's dog has never had a credential of its own. The Association exists to close that gap, and applies no obedience test, no temperament assessment and no breed restriction in doing so.

Certification includes a foil-stamped diploma bearing your dog's registered name, a permanent entry in the public registry, a license number issued against your state and year, and two years of licensure.
