At Paward, we recognize the importance of third party verification for businesses and landlords when it comes to determining whether a dog is a qualified service dog. That's why, after our team of professionals has successfully trained and graduated a dog from our full program, we make sure to post their picture and qualifications on our page of graduating dogs. This not only serves as evidence of their training and abilities, but also gives businesses and landlords the peace of mind they need when allowing service dogs on their premises. We take great pride in our graduates and want to showcase their achievements to the world.
