Service Dog Questionnaire

The questionnaire provides background history on your dog and your disability and service task needs before we meet or start training. This form is six pages. Please allow at least an hour to complete. We gather a detailed history before we meet to make your dog’s consult as helpful as possible.

Once you complete this form, remember that if you have more than one dog, you will also need to provide a short history on your other dogs with the Multiple-Dog Household Form.

Once you have completed this form, remember that if your dog is already a working service dog or has already been through substantial training with you or another service dog trainer or organization, please also fill out the Working Service Dog Team questionnaire to provide additional information.

Make sure, after you hit “submit,” to check that the form was submitted. Sometimes there are blank fields or other “errors” that need to be corrected. Otherwise the form will not get to your trainer.
