The Holistic Therapy Dog Association Established 2026 · Registry of Record

Give a Certification

For the person whose dog is the point of them. Their dog's name, printed in the largest type on a foil-stamped diploma, and a permanent entry in a public register that anyone can look up.

You pay now. Your recipient gets an activation link, creates their own account, and registers their own dog with their own photograph and address.

How it works

  1. You choose the gift and pay. You are not asked for a shipping address, because the parcel is not going to you.
  2. You choose how it reaches them. Emailed as soon as the payment clears, emailed on a date you pick, or not emailed at all: print the certificate and hand it over yourself.
  3. They create their own account, take the credentialing exam, name their dog and give their own address. The name on the diploma is theirs to choose, not yours.
  4. Their dog gets a license number and a permanent register entry, and the diploma is mailed to them if you gave the physical gift.

The link can be redeemed once. Until it is, your gifts is where you correct a mistyped address, send it again, or print the certificate. If you gave the digital gift, nothing is mailed.

How they get it

Leave it empty and it goes as soon as the payment clears. A date holds it until 09:00 UTC that morning. You can change your mind afterwards, from your account.

Check it, though a typo is fixable: you can correct the address from your account until they redeem it.

You will sign in or create an account at the payment step.
