Good Basics But Not Fully Complete

I picked this up after thinking about training my dog to help with my anxiety and it gave me a solid place to start. The early sections on commands and behavior were clear and easy to try at home. One afternoon I used the focus training during a busy walk and it really helped. But when it came to actual certification steps I felt like it skipped too much. I still had to look things up on my own. Great intro but not a full roadmap.

A Must-Have Roadmap for Service Dog Trainers!

As someone who has watched my sister successfully train and live with two incredible service dogs, I can confidently say this audiobook hits the mark. Service Dog Training & Certification Guide by Ken Nguyen is the perfect companion for anyone looking to navigate the world of service dog training with clarity and confidence.
My sister, who is highly experienced in this field, and I listened together, and we were both impressed by Ken's calm, knowledgeable delivery and invaluable guidance. Ken breaks down everything—from choosing the right dog to tackling complex, real-life scenarios—into clear, easy-to-follow steps.
This book offers excellent information about the legal considerations before deploying your service dog in public and practical training examples. It doesn't just tell you what to do; it explains why it matters, which makes a huge difference in applying the methods successfully. Whether new to service dog training or polishing up advanced skills, this audiobook is an empowering and informative listen.
Highly recommend!

Great Guide for Service Dog Training

I got this to help train my dog for service tasks and wasn’t sure where to start, but this guide made it easy. It breaks everything down into simple, clear steps that are easy to follow, even with no experience. It helped me figure out if my dog was the right fit, start with the basics, and move into more advanced tasks. What I love most is how the training is strengthening our bond. He’s starting to really get it, and I am getting better at consistency. The focus on trust, consistency, and mutual respect has made a big difference and the tips for common struggles have been super helpful.

Helped me train with real purpose

I’ve been working with my dog to support some of my daily challenges, but I didn’t know what was actually required for service training. This audiobook gave me a clear picture of the steps not just obedience, but the mindset and consistency needed. It’s not sugar coated, but that’s what I appreciated. I’ve already seen progress, and it’s given me more confidence to keep going. If you're serious about training a service dog, this is a solid place to start.

Trained my pooch

I wasn’t sure I had what it takes to train a service dog myself, but this audiobook changed that. It’s realistic about the work involved but breaks it down in a way that made me believe I could actually do it. The legal info was super clear, and the training tips are something I could try immediately. I appreciated how practical and encouraging it was. My dog and I are already making progress.
