Is AD4A certified by ADI (Assistance Dogs International)?

No, AD4A is certified by ISCTA, the International Society of Canine Trainers and Assessors, an organization with broader goals than ADI. With regard to Service Dogs, ISCRA has more open views than ADI, both on suitable breeds and on organizational structure. The reason AD4A can offer trained Service Dogs for $7500 is that we do not adhere to the costly infrastructure requirements that ADI mandates. Our mission is to provide better dogs, faster, at less cost, so more people who need dogs can get them. This mission cannot be met under ADI's restrictive practices. However, the ADI Standards for dogs, clients and training are superb, so we adhere closely to those standards. AD4A Service Dogs are trained through the three levels of Service Dog Training and are assessed by ISCTA-Certified Assessors administering the ADI's Public Access Certification Test (PACT).
