Domino Service Dogs (DSD) is a Lakewood, Colorado-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to breaking down the prohibitive financial, physical, and systemic barriers to service dog ownership. Operating under a "by us, for us" disability-led model, DSD empowers individuals with disabilities to train their own service dogs through a structured 2-year owner-trainer program. By utilizing 100% force-free, evidence-based, reward-based techniques, such as clicker training, DSD eliminates traditional $35,000–$45,000 agency costs and multi-year waitlists while building independence, community, and public access rights

Domino service animals is a gem of an organization with altruism at its core. Randy and Tanya provided excellent hands-on and thorough training for my service animal in training, Taro, to be a full service dog. For all they do, the cost is very low, and it is clear they are doing charitable work. Anyone who gets to experience what this service has to offer is, in my opinion, lucky and fortunate to have found such a great team. I am very thankful for my time with Domino!
