Money is going to be made by someone and even then there will be away around it to have false registrations. And will 'organizations' be able to certify their own dogs? Because I know of organizations that are ADI members and some of their dogs pass on through that should not. I do see your point and agree it would make it so much easier for airlines and even business owners to see identification. But like another point was made - what if you just happen to not have it with you or lost it and you need your dog out in public NOW? You will be denied access.GoodShepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02765788704209702118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983334549895349923.post-65370639531494543772016-11-29T19:21:53.294-05:002016-11-29T19:21:53.294-05:00Very good article opposing regulations being put o...Very good article opposing regulations being put on service dogs/handlers, but something has to be done. Twice I had 2 unleashed dogs come after service dogs in training. One dog was coming out of the local public library off leash and came after my pup, and another time was at the Tractor Supply Store when a pit bull off leash left his owners side at the check out counter, came over to the check out counter where I was with my in training SD and barking and lunging. Don't know how my dogs were not injured those 2 times. Numerous time I have run into problems - little dogs at Walmart, loose dog in a laundromat, businesses that have their own dogs in there with them barking. People trying to walk up to me with their dog to 'socialize' with my in training dog even with a vest on! I seriously have to carry 'Bark off' (mace) now and I will use it. Yes something needs to be done but I also do not want strict regulations for disabled persons. They do not have the extra money for fees for registration, tags, special training or testing (like CGC for certification) on top of what they have already done. Not sure what the answer is but things can't stay like this. I fear the safety of handlers and service dogs! If the dogs that went after me and my dogs (and I am not disabled but a trainer), if they went after a child with a service dog (with adult handler) or a blind person who can't see what is happening, or someone with serious mobility issues that is so dangerous. And I found out from the cops in my town they would not defend me. They said it was a civil matter and I would have to take the other person to court and try to sue them. They were not willing to help me out even if I or dog was injured. "Civil matter' in a public place?!

Seems to me the Act discriminates people with disabilities and not include but exclude having a designated service dog.

People are so quick to judge or condemn as Disabity Alliance did to me, and just said my dog charlie is not a designated service dog I don't think people should be allowed to say it's a fake service dog, has anyone stopped and thought how your words can hurt a person with disability. Get mad at the internet sites they are misleading vulnerable people with disabilities. Since CTV NEWs did my story I can't go out in my community people point a finger three are pointed back at you. I cant stand riding the bus because of the mean comments and dirty looks. I can't go out to a resturant, with out people looking under the table for my dog and being asses about it. I then find out Elsa or some one from Disability alliance is training her own dog after criticizing me, no one explained to me about the Guide dog Act or offered to help. All this time I just wanted to be independent and safe. I have a medical certificate certifying my disability I live in surrey Bc people are just so ignorant I just want my life back! I dread riding the bus or going out but I have a good lawyer this fake service dog business needs to stop you are punninshing people with disabilities and people need to be more compassionate now I have been denied the use of a service dog and training but my lawyer is working on that. I have been told bus drivers did not violate my rights not a service dog. I have been really up set there needs to be an advocate for service dog owners people have some compassion.

He wa...Hi, I have a service dog his name is Roscoe. He was trained with the assistance of Courteous Canine. He qualified as a service dog once he completed the Delta Society's test, 9 years later he is retired and we are actively looking for a new service dog (SD). This topic is being discussed all over social media and I believe there is a need to have a SD registered. This change would be most useful to airline company employees and TSA. The benefit to hassle free travel is worth the effort. It goes without saying this would also be a reduce or even eliminate the hassles with egress and ingress to public accommodations and retailers. There are challenges to overcome in order to come up with some consensus:<br /><br /> ➔ If I register the government or whomever will know I'm disabled.<br />✔︎ The SD is registered in the same manner as you would getting his/her yearly tags. The owner is not registered only the dog is registered.<br /><br /> ➔ I can't afford it<br />✔︎ If you cannot afford a tag for his/her shots and service dog tag. Then you are not a responsible owner and should not have any animals<br /><br /> ➔ I self trained my SD because I cannot afford a professional trainer<br />✔︎ You may not need a professional trainer but at some point the dog should pass a conventional test certifying the SD meets the minimum standards.<br /><br /> ➔ I have a letter from my doctor. It proves I need a service dog<br />✔︎ A written prescription by a doctor is a legal document. If a doctor signs it under false pretenses she/he could lose their license. A letter does not have the same legal standing.<br /><br /> ➔ Fake service dogs<br />✔︎ No retailer should sell any service dog merchandise to someone whose dog is not registered as a SD.<br /><br />The overall concern is, why should the owner be registered. The owner is not registered. The dog is registered. The dog owns the tag. The SD can then go from one person to another. This is most helpful when traveling. During a layover my partner takes Roscoe out of the airport to do his business and return. My partner is not disabled but Roscoe is still a service dog. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Mauricio Rosashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00164042716938685381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983334549895349923.post-12324480655142329902015-02-11T18:22:12.443-05:002015-02-11T18:22:12.443-05:00There is no registration required.

I believe that every state has protection for "service dogs in training". If you can not find a Fair Housing Center contact your closest Center for Independent Living for assistance and resources in your area. Condominium associations are not above federal law.

When...I am one of those low income owner trainers. When I knew I was becoming disAbled, I began looking for a dog to train. The programs were out since I didn't have the $$. Besides, I've had dogs all my life, so only the task training was different. I had written my list of tasks to train the dog. I knew the size I needed. I didn't need a large dog and medium sized dogs just weren't part of most programs. I had to opportunity to rescue a dog who'd been abandoned. I did my own character testing and knew it would be a challenge but he would work. <br />Now I tell people I have an alphabet dog who has ADD and PTSD. lol Even so, he was quick to catch on to the training. He has his flaws but as I also tell people, we are a team because what one can't do, the other does. If I fall and am in pain, he panics...in working to calm him down I am able to overcome my own pain, so by that time we work together to get me back in my wheelchair. So that social test people want the dogs to be certified in? He'd fail. Yet we work well together. <br />I too, have been told I need a letter or registration. If I believe it's a big issue which affects my quality of life, I will step up to the challenge with the ADA and DOJ, if not, then I let it go. <br />For those who believe we, disAbled should be registered, consider how that has worked in the past. No thank you. As to those who bring non SD dogs into places, when I suspect that, I often just ask a simple question. "When do you think you will be retiring him/her?" Watching the eyes and face, you will quickly know a pet owner from a SD owner. Thanks so much for this article.

Now we all know, SDs are not MADE, they are TRAINED > which generally takes a few months with an Intelligent Dog with few Tasks and up to 2 years for Detailed Tasks for some Dogs. My Question is this - What are the "Rights" if you will, of a Service Dog In Training.? <br />My Condominium Association and The Board are in the process of Sueing me for not having my Dog "Registered" yet as a Service Dog. They are Requiring me to have her Tested and Show Proof of Passing and Compliance with the FHA, stating that they are a Private Entity owned by The Owners so the ADA does not apply. (They already called them).<br />My GSD is Fully Task Trained, and presently is Obedient to Over 15 Commands with others being worked on. This Work ALL in Under 6 Months by a Disabled "MoM" as her Trainer. (Meaning, little time able to be Devoted to Training & Practice, weekly).<br />Also, are you aware of any Advocates for this Type of Legal Situation with a Service Dog In Training and a Condominium Association? <br />I have spoken to Attorneys and they are all in the $2 - 3,000 Range with an additional Hourly Rate of $250. Somewhat unaffordable.<br />However, they do say they believe its a Fight I will Win, no Doubt. <br />Also, my Drs. Office requires a letter of Service Dog Registration prior to allowing any Dogs in their Office. <br />Where does one get this "Letter" ? Or this Registration # I keep hearing of. I see them on the Internet but surely THAT cannot be what they are referring to.<br />Any assistance will be so greatly appreciated! <br />Respectfully- <br />FloridaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983334549895349923.post-32489625684576202592015-01-01T13:23:21.022-05:002015-01-01T13:23:21.022-05:00In that case, would you also like to see some sort...In that case, would you also like to see some sort of training and skills testing for people who use wheelchairs, and scooters? After all, those fancy power wheelchairs are extremely heavy, and could do a lot of damage in the hands of an unskilled user. In fact, if an unskilled wheelchair or scooter user were to run over my six-pound service dog, that would be the end of my dog, and I think I have every right to insist that my dog be protected from people who are not qualified to drive those things. <br /><br />And how about psychological testing for people who use crutches, or canes, or oxygen tanks - after all, we do not want to put these potentially dangerous implements into the hands of someone with serious anger management issues, or someone with PTSD who might unexpectedly perceive a need to use them as defensive weapons against members of the public. <br /><br />And while we are at it, shouldn't we require some sort of ID or certification for people to use those motorized carts some stores provide free for people with mobility-related disabilities? After all, some able people might be using those just because they are too lazy to walk. <br /><br />In fact, shouldn't the government maintain a database and issue ID's to all disabled citizens? The card could include a list of all the equipment/devices that person is qualified to use in places of public accommodation. That way there could never be any question at all that they are indeed disabled, and are indeed qualified to use certain types of equipment/devices to mitigate their disability. <br /><br />Now, what could possibly be wrong with any of these ideas?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983334549895349923.post-53436383951614453012015-01-01T12:32:51.781-05:002015-01-01T12:32:51.781-05:00I'm baffled by the notion that service dog &qu...I'm baffled by the notion that service dog "advocates" would propose mandatory registration or training. The objection I read is to dogs that aren't service dogs posing as such, and misbehaving in stores, which causes problems for people who have real SDs.. So: why not advocate for better education for business owners, so they know when they may legally exclude SD's (e.g. ONLY if it misbehaves). Reach out to the DoJ and to business organizations to develop training materials. When business owners start exercising their rights, the word will spread to the phonies (whose dogs are causing the problems) and we might see fewer of the abuses. THAT would protect the rights of SDs and their owners...EmilySnoreply@blogger.com
