While we offer products and services for purchase, our main goal in our publications is to spread unbiased and accurate knowledge about service dog rights. We pride ourselves on promoting responsible service dog ownership and setting the facts straight on myths that persist in the world of service dogs. We advocate for all service dog handlers and provide educational material to help you advocate for yourself and your service dog.
