...So instead of railing against “fake service dogs” let’s really define the problem: obedience training not required for emotional support dogs.
That is accurate, and probably a reason that emotional support animals are not included in the ADA even though they can provide a valuable service. Perhaps they should be included provided the animal is trained in obedience.
I'm curious, how many (what percentage) flunk out of real service dog training? The only experience I've had with them is providing vet services when needed.
Excellent comments by both posters.
Emotional support animals can still be casual, informal pets and can provide benefits.
But...perhaps a new CATEGORY could be created for ESA that gets "approved for public travel" ?
