www.registeredservicedogs.com Does anyone have any experience with Service Dog Registration | Service Dog Certification, ID, Information - RegisteredServiceDogs.com |
What would ya like to know? :D |
legit? I just wanted to make sure that it is legit before I send off my paperwork and payment. |
Registering your dog will not make it a service dog. There is no formal recognized government testing standard for "service dogs". Essentially all this will provide you is a patch, a nifty ID card (which you can make yourself) and a useless "certificate" stating your dog is a service dog, which again, there is no test he/she must pass to be called such. The laws governing service dogs really needs to be defined and more strict as well as a standardized test created to give the dog such a title, imo. |
There was a man who lived down the street from me and he had a Bichon Frise. He would take her everywhere. Once he was in the grocery store with her and was told dogs are not allowed. He whipped out a card stating she was a service dog, and they couldn't say anything about it, but obviously, he wasn't handicapped and she wasn't assisting him in that way. I wonder if this is where he got the card? |

People who say that so they can get their dog on the Cruise Ship (which I kind of thought about BUT didn't do) annoy me too. My father who has alzheimers is actually calmed and helped by being proximity to my Yorkie. So we actually have thought about getting her classified for this reason alone.... She's also great with small children so we've thought about her becoming a therapy dog as well. |
There is a big difference between SERVICE DOGS & THERAPY DOGS. It's reasons, like owners taking advantage of the lack of system in order to take their well natured pets out into complete public access, that cause problems for others. If you do have a legit medical reason for having a service dog, GET IT TRAINED by a professional and have it's identity as such out and present. This includes a vest or harness with bold, clearly labeled patches and an ID card...at a minimum. Don't let others pet your WORKING DOG. He's out doing a job every second of every day he's with you. You have an obligation to uphold an image as well as a certain level of training. |

Thank you for posting this. What I find chalenging is to actually get a trainer to work with my dog who is not going to charge an arm and an a leg to do a propper job training. the "catch" is that legally a person is able to train there own dog on there own if they want to. It is definately true that there are many disabilites that can't be seen by just looking at a person. Mental disabilties are a big one. My son and I are both recognized as legally disabled. He with autism and with cognitive delays. me, with a couple other things. We both are on Social Security. I do have A "service dog" . I am in the process of ordering a vest for her. We do live in a no pet place, and she is able to be here legally. with the propper paper work filed. I take her to Dr.'s appointment, therapy appointments, and stores no problems. i am working with her , and she just turned 1 yrs old. It takes time to train. She is very good, and is not snappy. So far there has been no problems taking her anywhere. I've not seen anybody ever try and use a dog in this matter if it was not intended for this purpose. I believe they are called Psychatric service dogs.... and these are VALID . Recognized by the ADA. Again they are not seen by the eye, never the less disabled people. i'd fall into this catorgory. |
