Recommended Answer:
There are no national regulations on service dog trainers, so whatever you need will depend on your state's laws and regulations. Your state's attorney general's office would know. If your state has a human rights commission they would know too. Your state's secretary of state is probably the one you'll have to go through for any licenses.

When in doubt about state government, you can always contact your state representative, even by email. They keep a well staffed office to help their constituents (people from their home district whom they serve), and that includes helping them find what they need from the government.

The governor's office has a similar staff. Seriously. They're experts at sending you to the right source of information about anything related to state government.

Links for all of these offices can be found on your state's homepage.

I work with a group who collect and organize various laws related to service dogs and share them with others in a database. The database we use is undergoing a huge overhaul, but the basic resources are still available online, free to anyone (no ads, no registration, nothin'). Some of those resources include information on how to contact state government, for each state in the U.S. so you can go there, click on your state, and get started that way. Findlaw.com has something similar, but is not focused on service dogs. Ours is located at http://www.servicedogcentral.org/content…
