but my dogs are NOT pets (neither one of them) it is incumbent to only have ONE service dog because I need the other one to train the replacement (that is obviously why I have two) but I should not have to explain that.
I have two dogs one is 9 years old and the other is 5 months old; obviously the 5 month old is taking over for the 9 year old.
I am throwing down the B.S. flag! A bona-fide service animal is trained by experts who bred or specially pick a dog to train to perform certain tasks, and then match the person and animal.
NEVER is the disabled person training his or her own animal, and NEVER in any type of dog training does an older dog train a new dog.
I think this is someone who would not qualify for a service animal from legitimate organizations and has manufactured a need and then trains his own dogs.
Nope not at all; federal law doesn't require service dogs to be trained by a professional and this has been challenged in court hence the law.
People choose to train their own dogs for various reasons whether its finances, or unique needs that would be better served by training the dog rather than a professional training the dog. I choose to train my own dog because I already have another service dog but that service dog does not do public access (like going to Walmart) and the puppy learns from the older dog exponentially.
If you want to learn more meet me in Gig Harbor in a few days then :P
