I honestly thought training a service dog was way beyond me, but this guide broke it down in such a manageable way. It helped me understand not only the steps but also the “why” behind each part of the training. I appreciated how it covered legal stuff too—no fluff, just practical help. I’ve already seen progress with my pup, and more importantly, I feel more confident as a handler. Super helpful and actually encouraging.

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.

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!
