Professional Accreditation

 

Professional associations gives clients and associates of an organization an assurance for quality and adherence to industry standards. Accreditation provides clients with a product that has industry and world-wide recognition for legitimacy.  

ACTS is proud to be associated with two international organizations within our industry. ACTS is accredited by Assistance Dogs International and is a member of Animal Assisted Intervention International. Both provide standards that are recognized amongst professionals in both the service dog and facility dog training industries, and in related industries.
