If you\u2019re living with a disability in Maine, it might be worth training your pooch (or a new puppy) to become a service dog. Not only do these lovable creatures provide invaluable assistance with everyday tasks, but they also receive legal protections under federal and state laws.<\/p>\n

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)<\/a> and Maine\u2019s Human Rights Act<\/a> afford anyone with an eligible disability the civil right to bring a service dog into any \u201cpublic accommodations\u201d (restaurants, entertainment venues, retail stores, educational institutions, etc.). Businesses, including landlords and airlines, cannot charge for a service dog or treat the owner differently, providing the animal is housebroken and well-behaved.<\/p>\n

Although there are no formal certification or registration requirements, a canine must be adequately trained to qualify as a service dog. In this article, we\u2019ll cover what to consider when searching for a service dog trainer and then review the top five providers in Maine.<\/p>\n

What to Look for When Choosing Service Dog Training<\/h2>\n

Choosing an appropriate service dog training center is the first step towards turning a canine companion into a bonafide service animal.<\/p>\n

Regardless of whether you choose an online or in-person trainer, it\u2019s best to stick with an established operator with years (or decades) of industry experience. Look for a provider with a proven track record with your specific disability.<\/p>\n

Not all trainers work with every dog. But that\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing\u2014it could mean they excel at training a specific breed. Some insist on working with a custom-bred puppy, while others accept existing pets (after a rigorous evaluation) or source animals from a local shelter. In any case, check whether these conditions align with your needs.<\/p>\n

For a brick-and-mortar establishment, it\u2019s worth assessing the facilities in person before committing. Are the kennels in good shape? Do the dogs have plenty of open space? A low-quality trainer will cut corners and deliver subpar results.<\/p>\n

While a sizable waiting list is indicative of a successful business (or a popular non-profit), you should consider your own timeline, as well. If you need an animal trained in a hurry, there\u2019s no point joining a five year waiting list.<\/p>\n

Finally, cost is a crucial consideration. While the law requires a service dog to be capable of supporting its owner, there\u2019s no legal requirement to enlist a professional trainer. An online training course gives you the necessary tools to train your animal at home and saves you thousands compared to an in-person program.<\/p>\n

Online vs. In-Person Service Dog Training<\/h2>\n

So, what\u2019s the best option for training a service dog: in-person or online? Both methods have their advantages, which we\u2019ll discuss below.<\/p>\n

While an in-person course requires you to attend scheduled classes, an online program lets you train your animal at your convenience\u2014you don\u2019t even need to leave the comfort of your own home. The most significant benefit, however, is cost. Online programs give you all the support and guidance you need at a fraction of the price of an in-person course.<\/p>\n

Although rigid and expensive, in-person programs may achieve better results because an experienced professional provides expert, tailor-made training sessions. Furthermore, the in-person option puts less burden on the owner, which is essential when a severe disability renders self-training impractical. Both humans and canines also get ample opportunity to socialize and exercise\u2014active and outgoing owners often find in-person training more fun.<\/p>\n
