Basically mold it into a well mannered dog, that is peaceful, non-reaction, friendly, never aggressive. (last thing I want is someone suing me because a small dog bit them).
So that it could go anywhere with me and not be of a bother. Well anywhere that is sanitary. I'd avoid taking it to say a food joint, a hospital(Well not sure- maybe if its not the E.R.) for sanitary reasons. Then again hospitals are actually unsanitary to begin with... |
Just to clarify - you have the right idea to train your ESA, but understand that they do not have the same privileges as a Service Animal. They give you some rights to housing and accompany on planes, but ant place that says Service Dogs Only does not include ESA. Many places are generous with dogs though. Federal buildings are not usually.
Go to the department of Justice site and read the ADA laws.
Good luck!
