Document a psychiatric disability with a Colorado-licensed professional — the foundation for a task-trained service dog under the ADA.
A psychiatric service dog gives Colorado residents protections an ESA can’t: full public access under the ADA. The trade-off is real task training.
The distinction is training. An ESA supports you simply by being there and is protected in housing alone; a psychiatric service dog performs trained tasks for a psychiatric disability and goes where you go in Colorado — shops, transit, work — under the ADA. Both are protected at home.
A Colorado-licensed mental health professional documents a psychiatric disability that substantially limits a major life activity. That letter anchors your housing accommodation and supports your disability-related need; the dog’s task training — which you arrange — is what grants public access. Approved letters arrive in 10–15 minutes.
Examples include interrupting panic episodes, deep-pressure therapy, medication reminders, grounding during flashbacks, and guiding a disoriented handler. The training, not paperwork, creates the status.
Not by itself — public access flows from the dog’s task training under the ADA. The letter documents the disability behind that need, and together they put Colorado handlers on firm ground.
$149 for up to two pets, or $229 for up to three — and you’re only charged if approved.
Yes — the ADA permits owner-training. What matters is that the dog reliably performs tasks related to your disability and behaves in public.
Only two questions: is the dog required because of a disability, and what task is it trained to perform. Staff may not demand documentation or ask about your diagnosis.
