What We Do — SAYGAV Academy

SAYGAV Academy provides independent assessment services for service dog teams across the United States. We exist to bridge the gap between owner-trained and privately trained service dog teams and the formal accreditation system, ensuring that every handler-dog team has access to professional evaluation, community support, and official recognition—regardless of their training pathway. SAYGAV Academy proporciona servicios de evaluación independiente para equipos de perros de servicio en todo Estados Unidos. Existimos para cerrar la brecha entre los equipos entrenados por dueños y entrenadores privados y el sistema formal de acreditación.

How We Work Cómo Trabajamos

Our approach is built on three pillars: rigorous independent assessment, nationwide accessibility, and an inclusive philosophy that serves all handlers. Nuestro enfoque se basa en tres pilares: evaluación independiente rigurosa, accesibilidad a nivel nacional y una filosofía inclusiva.

Independent Assessment Evaluación Independiente

We conduct thorough, impartial evaluations of service dog teams to verify that each dog meets the highest training and behavioral standards. Our assessments cover obedience, task performance, public behavior, stress management, and handler interaction. Every evaluation is carried out by licensed, experienced assessors who follow a standardized protocol aligned with industry best practices. Realizamos evaluaciones exhaustivas e imparciales de equipos de perros de servicio para verificar que cada perro cumpla con los más altos estándares de entrenamiento y comportamiento.

SAYGAV Academy opera en todo Estados Unidos. Nuestro equipo de entrenadores y evaluadores licenciados está disponible para evaluaciones presenciales a nivel nacional.

Who We Help A Quién Ayudamos

We serve all individuals who rely on a service dog, regardless of their training pathway. Whether your service dog was trained by a professional organization, a private trainer, or owner-trained, our assessment provides the validation and formal recognition you need. We believe that the quality of training—not the source—should determine a service dog's eligibility for public access and air travel. Servimos a todas las personas que dependen de un perro de servicio, independientemente de su vía de entrenamiento. Ya sea entrenado por una organización profesional, un entrenador privado o por el propio dueño.
