Domino Service Dogs (DSD) was founded in 2013 in honor of Caitlin Tyra Brady—a disability advocate and service dog handler whose life demonstrated the profound ripple effect of one well-trained partner. What began as a mother’s determination has grown into a disability-led nonprofit serving Colorado families who are too often excluded from traditional funding pathways.
DSD ensures that disability does not disqualify someone from independence. Through ethical, evidence-based, reward-based training, we empower individuals to train their own service dogs in a structured, 24-month program that builds skill, confidence, and long-term team stability.
