UPgrade to Service Dog /Assistance Dog (if you have a PSDeurope certificate)

Your dog is currently trained as a PSD dog to USDoT standards. This additional module enables you to upgrade to Service Dog / Assistance Dog (PSD) status. You also must do a session with our psychotherapist to discuss and find your special tasks.

This means:

• Expansion of the existing task list according to US DoT
• Tasklist meeting with psychotherapist to discuss and determine new requirements.
• Training of the new tasks
• Creation of the extended task videos
• Test of the new task videos
• Working through the additional modules in the theory course

You will receive:

• A new certificate that identifies the dog as an assistance dog
• An extended period of validity of again 3 years from the date of certificate
• New PSD Assistance Dog Task List
• New PSDeurope ID card that identifies the dog as an assistance dog

What remains unchanged:

• You do not need a new therapy or doctor’s confirmation
• The emergency card remains valid
• Certification according to USDoT standards remains unchanged

What is the extended certification useful for:

• Flights and travel in the EU and other parts of the world that do not recognize the validity of the US DoT certificate.
