| Mine is a cross and she is my service dog. She's an autism dog, trained to respond to panic attacks, learning to interfere with OCD behaviors, wake me up to an alarm, and retrieve. This thread made my head hurt- I know some of the comments are older but NSAR is not a legit registry, pretending to have a service dog IS fraud, and an ESA does not get public rights of any kind. |

| We are training ours to be a service dog (autism). He has been in training for about 8 weeks now. He has been received very well everywhere we go. I always call a new place in advance and inform them he is a service dog in training (SDIT) and ask may I bring him in. They do not have to admit an SDIT, but so far, no one has said no. We do live in a small town, and everyone here knows my kiddo and everyone is really pulling for her to be the most she can be. We are training him to the Public Access Test standards. I keep a log book of all the training he undergoes, just in case I am ever asked. I also bought the book The Guide to Training an Autism Assistance Dog, and it has helped a little. Now everyone in town knows my daughter's name, and our pups name, but hardly anyone knows my name LOL. |

As far as I am aware EVERY registry and certification web site out there are not legitimate. The only legitimate certification is one that is assigned by a trained handler. All others are out to earn money from those who are ignorant of the fact that they need not certify or register their service dog, or those who are trying to pass off an untrained pet as a service dog. Service dogs must perform three tasks that mitigate the disability of their handler, any less and they are not considered a service dog. Last edited by Mayzoo; 08-27-2015 at 04:24 PM. | |

| I once knew a young man whose GF was deaf, she had 3 service dogs, Poodle mix, Pit Bull and a yorkie. When they broke up he kept the yorkie and the service dog tag just to be able to take the dog in stores and buses,the yorkie had no service dog training what so ever, talk about unethical ppl.

| I have 2 service dogs, they are legit. My 22 yr old son has autism and M.R. We trained Suzi to be his service dog who is our Yorkie Suzi. He can now take pretty good care of her with assistance, Suzi never leaves his side . We obtained a detailed letter from My son's psyhatrist. to have her, service dogs can be trained by the owner, to do specific tasks. They do not need professional training. However, I think it is a good idea especially when their are serious disabilities . My other service dog is for me, she is also legit. She's a Shih Tzu, which assists me with multiple psychiatric disabilities. It may seem like my son and I are a mess however, with the service dogs they are a blessing.

| Service Therapy Dog My 11 year old yorkie just died of kidney failure. She was a therapy dog registered with Pet Partners (formerly Delta Society) and Love on a leash. For the last 5 years she was also my medical alert service dog, as I am a disabled vet. |

| My Cali is a hearing dog. She was trained at a facility that trained hearing dogs and has been a god send. Could not drive without her. She was a real hero on a transatlantic flight when she "heard" and alerted to running water on the airplane that turned out to be a major leak that would have resulted in the plane having to have turned back if she had not heard it. She got steak from first class that flight Love to hear about our little pups who have a job they do so well!

| ADA does not require a 3 number of tasks. They only require the dog be individually trained to mitigate a disability. The 3 task rule is only because some schools require this but it is not the law. |

Where a pet (as opposed to service or therapy) dog is allowed to sit is not the preference of the flight attendant. It is determined by each airline. Each airline can decide if pets are allowed and can limit which breeds are allowed. The FAA indicates there will be a carrier that must fit under the seat and be there for taxiing, take-off, and landing. The carrier and the dog are considered to be your carry-on. Most airlines in my experience require the dog to remain in the carrier for the entire flight. Some flight attendants will allow some accommodation for a dog who is having an issue, which may bend the airline rule but insures fellow passengers are not disturbed by a whining, barking dog. Some can be flat out rude. I would suggest that you work with your vet to have a medication for your dog with you that can calm the dog in case he is distressed in his carrier. There are prescription and non-prescription options. And work with your doctor to make sure you are also comfortable. Our pets react to our stress, too. That way in worst case scenarios you are both OK. Beyond that, shop airlines to find one with policies that better match your needs and work to get your dog certified in a way that he can fly without confinement. We fly with our yorkie and she's getting better all the time but we have had a couple of really tense flights over her short 2.5 years where despite meds she was not comfortable. The pressurization of the cabin that can bother people's ears bothers her. We give her something to chew and swallow during that time. During the flight we will sometimes have her carrier in our lap and put a hand in to pet her. It's not very comfortable and makes a beverage or food a little tricky. She wears jammies because she gets cold on the floor of the plane. She's trained to go to the bathroom on a piddle pad. So, about 2 hours into a flight I will take her in her carrier to the bathroom, lay a piddle pad on the floor, take her out and let her go. She knows what to do! It's a very tight fit...me, her, the carrier and a piddle pad under my feet, but she's so much more comfortable for the rest of the flight. We use a piddle pad in the airport bathroom before boarding, too. Training your pet for any kind of travel is a challenge. It's important to know the rules, explore how to do what's best for your pet within those rules, and work hard to train your pet to be comfortable. | |

| Diagnosis Quote:
From the ADA: Emotional support and psychiatric service animals – Individuals who travel with emotional support animals or psychiatric service animals may need to provide specific documentation to establish that they have a disability and the reason the animal must travel with them. Individuals who wish to travel with their emotional support or psychiatric animals should contact the airline ahead of time to find out what kind of documentation is required. Examples of documentation that may be requested by the airline: Current documentation (not more than one year old) on letterhead from a licensed mental health professional stating (1) the passenger has a mental health-related disability listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV); (2) having the animal accompany the passenger is necessary to the passenger’s mental health or treatment; (3) the individual providing the assessment of the passenger is a licensed mental health professional and the passenger is under his or her professional care; and (4) the date and type of the mental health professional’s license and the state or other jurisdiction in which it was issued.16 This documentation may be required as a condition of permitting the animal to accompany the passenger in the cabin. | |

| Honesty and Truthfulness It is so important for people with disabilities to be able to have their service animals with them. I worry that if people who just want to take their pets with them shop for a way the result will be harmful for people with disabilities and will cause airlines to refuse paying pet passengers. Please be honest and truthful! Some Pet Owners Game the Emotional Support Animal System to Fly Pets for Free Some Pet Owners Game the Emotional Support Animal System to Fly Pets for Free - ABC News |
