I once read a book that was on dog training and it said in the back someplace that there was a certificate that could be gotten for a non working dog that would allow them to go into places. I forget all the requirements but some of them I believe were: Perfect sit, down, stay, and heal through a crowd. Does anyone know of such a certificate? If so what all the requirements are?

Are you talking about gaining access to places that are normally off limits to dogs? If so there is no such thing in the US. The only dogs that are legally allowed access are working service dogs.
You may be thinking of the Canine Good Citizen certificate, but that just documents your dog's training, does not allow access (though many therapy dog organizations use roughly the same outline of the CGC for certification)

Add- Do you mean "go into places" as in a therapy dog, visiting hospitals, rehab, nursing facility?

I want to be able to take Zuki where ever I go. I don´t know how realistic that is. The reason is for my safety. I don´t have an older brother to take with me anymore so my dog is the next best thing. Service dogs are one thing but I am not blind so I don´t know how a Guatemalan police guard is going to respond when I bring my dog saying it is a service dog. Maybe I am looking to do something impossible... I don´t know thats why I am asking here... She won´t ever be a PPD but just a dog looks intimidating. When it comes to a man with a gun...well dog or no dog you probably in for problems but that is not the majority.

As far as I know, you are looking to do something impossible with a non-SD.
Maybe that's not so in other countries, but I don't know.
Elizabeth being in the US those are the only rules I am familiar with but many restrictions to a dog's access are in the interest of public safety and health. I would imagine other countries have similar rules.
What type of places would you feel threatened in that a dog is not allowed? I'd suggest a self defense course and perhaps carrying mace or even a handgun (legally of cours ) They may be more of a deterrent than a barking dog.

The biggest problem is going to be on a bus. Mace I have thought of... Not sure where I can get it locally yet.(which works better for stray dogs? mace or a cattle prod?) Handgun is out of the question. I would rather die than hurt someone else even if they intend to hurt or kill me. I have God for that. I just know that most people outside of drug cartels don't have a gun and a dog can do a lot for a stupid young person that is fooling around. I would mostly take her on the bus and in market places. I just wanted to know if legally anyone knew of a way to do that without having the dog be a working dog. Doesn't look like it though...

Elizabeth, you really should check the laws in Mexico (or other country you'll be in)as well as the local laws regarding whether or not you can take your dog with you.
But, since Mexico has sadly become such a dangerous place that you fear for your safety, I would definitely carry something such as a cattle prod or, if legal, perhaps a stun baton. Trouble with mace or pepper spray is that it easily might end up in your eyes.
