That's like the Universal Life Church ordaining just about anyone to become a minister. I can pay 12 bucks and I can now insist that you call me "Minister Dennis" but it doesn't mean a damn thing. I could also pay $3,500 and get a Ph.D from "Columbia State University" and insist that you call me "Doctor Dennis." It doesn't legally mean a damn thing!
If your organization "certifies" a pet, then it's really a TAX on STUPID or GULLIBLE PEOPLE who PAY YOU to do something that isn't needed!
I've got the proof on my side:

2. Q: What is a service animal?
A: The ADA defines a service animal as any guide dog, signal dog, or other animal individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability. If they meet this definition, animals are considered service animals under the ADA regardless of whether they have been licensed or certified by a state or local government.

You're not even a government official!
I hope I'm wrong about this, but I bet you go around telling people they need to do it, and you'll do the certification for a special, one time, low down fee of 4 monthly payments of $29.99 and you'll even throw in a free set of ginsu knives. The bottom line is, if you do it without letting people know that they don't need to do it, you're nothing more than a theiving shyster preying on vulnerable clients.
