Official Registry | The Holistic Therapy Dog Association

Registry of Record 2026 · Credentialing Authority · Board of Trustees, est. 2026

The Association maintains a public register of certified Holistic Therapy Dogs, searchable by any member of the public without an account.

What Certification Recognises

A real one, photographed. Your dog's registered name and the date it was granted are printed in those two places.

Service dogs are trained. Clinical therapy dogs are evaluated. The dog who simply is somebody's dog has never had a credential of its own. The Association exists to close that gap, and applies no obedience test, no temperament assessment and no breed restriction in doing so.

$99 The foil-stamped diploma bearing your dog's registered name, mailed to you in a protective black holder, plus everything below.
$19 Digital only. The permanent entry in the public register, a license number issued against your state and year, the certificate PDF, and two years of licensure. Nothing is mailed.
