Thank you, yorkietalkjilly, I appreciate you finding those links for me. The first one is not working but I now have a better idea as to what is required and why.
I'm also a bit discouraged. I don't see any way to get Jenna certified as an emotional support dog. There doesn't even seem to be a legal site for it. It seems unless she performs a specific and obvious service, she is just seen as a pet. I can't show people my mental disability, (so much for being able to maybe even try flying again which seriously aggravates my anxiety), all I can say is she helps me with it. I don't even understand how it really works. I could get a letter from my doctor but I doubt it will achieve the desired result. It's too bad because I think a lot of people would benefit from the kind of assistance that a dog with such natural abilities can provide. Perhaps there is just not enough proof that there are dogs out there who can help people with things like agoraphobia, claustrophobia and panic attacks.
I'm also suspecting she has an ability to sense blood sugar spikes and drops but that would have to be verified with training and there's no way I'm sending her away for that.
Looks like a lost cause. Thank you anyway.
