August 27, 2018—AKC is trying to take over a term from the service dog community in a way that’ll be bad for us and the public. Don’t fear! PSDP and USAUSA have an easy way to let AKC know they shouldn’t do this—take a few seconds to sign the petition. You can also read the background exchange that led to the petition. We sent word of the petition to AKC, but they aren’t yet listening; your signature could help us have the bigger impact we need.

#ServiceDogArt: Create, tag, share!

In September 2018, we have over a year of themes, so now you can use the theme calendar for your #ServiceDogArt (or just create whatever you like!). The #ServiceDogArt theme for September is for students of all ages: How does a service dog team get involved with learning/education? Get out there with your dog and snap a picture. Share and you might inspire other teams to learn something, too!
