Service Dog Central is a community of service dog partners and trainers working together to bring you our combined knowledge about service dogs. Our goal is to bring you the latest, most accurate, most useful information about service dogs available anywhere.

Whether you are a person with a disability wanting to meet other service dog handlers or a fourth grader working on a school project, we want to make exploring the world of service dogs inviting and easy.

According to the University of Arizona, 0.9% of persons with disabilities are partnered with service dogs. That's approximately 15,000 service dogs across the U.S. Each day these dogs significantly impact their partners' lives. People who couldn't do the ordinary activities of daily living that others take for granted are able to function independently with the help of their canine partners.

On this site we feature information on specific kinds of service dogs, service dog training and handling, access issues, rights and legal issues. Please bear with us as we re-build our video display area where you can view clips of service dogs performing various tasks and complete construction of our interactive ClickiWiki community authored training resource. We hope these features will be available again shortly. Our community forum and help desk are fully operational and ready to answer your questions. We've stocked our forum with experts in service dog subjects such as training, public education, advocating, lobbying, handling a service dog and much more.
