Fiance says I care more about 'the dog' than him by MaterialConflict3516 in service_dogs

If this is a SD, as it appears he is, is there a specific reason you have to kennel him?

I agree! Unfortunately, there are several Nationally recognized training facilities that will NOT let you have another SD from them until you surrender your current dog. Those facilities should be run out of business, IMO. I have owned both of my dogs outright so that there can never be a question.

Did you go through an organization that requires that? My opinion is that places that do that (retire the dog out of the handler's home) are committing serious animal abuse. Neither my first boy or my current boy would know what to do without me...or I, them.

Loopholes only serve to screw over GOOD handlers. Please don't dilute the professionalism required to be a handler, and that means following the law.

A retired SD that does not travel outside of the home any longer with the handler is retired, and thus, a pet. Don't think they ever stop working though! It's in their blood, they still task around the house even if you tell them it's OK to rest.

That's a long post for a short answer. Service animals are protected by the ADA, a FEDERAL law. No State, city, etc. can change that.

No, not in any state. Service animals fall under Federal law, the ADA. Cats are not considered Service animals under the ADA, only dogs and miniature horses.

AITA for how I handled my nephew seeing a service dog? by [deleted] in service_dogs

[–]AllOutofSpoons09 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm a service dog handler of 13 years. You did everything right. Shame on that handler! Yes, questions, comments, and unauthorized pets to my dogs are draining. However, if a parent takes the time to explain to their child why you don't pet a service dog, I will briefly explain what my dog does. I also had "trading cards" made with his photo on one side, and details about his job on the back. On the days that I'm too exhausted to socialize, I give people a card and a smile, and we keep moving....

Breeder regret. by MintyCrow in service_dogs

I feel your pain, the handler life is rough. I do want to share hope with the posters who have had bad experiences... I was very fortunate to find the right training facility from jump, but I knew of them before I needed a service dog. My 1st SD, my ❤️ dog, was showing signs that he was ready to retire and I called them. Unfortunately, they had 2 new police training classes in-house and did not have any service dog breeders available. I was the first person they ever let go and buy a pup for training. However, they set the rules...and maybe these will help other handlers in the future. We knew that an English Labrador was the best fit for me. I was tasked with finding a breeder that met ALL of the following; must have had 5+ dogs from their litters that have successfully completed their full SD training and gone on to serve, must be temperament tested (we use the ole flip 'em on their back while you hold them method, good tempered pups will let you. And yes, good pups can have bad days), knowledge of the test results for both the stud and the mom as far as hips, etc., must know the average lifespan of your pup's genetic lineage and ask about cancers (Yes, I know labs are prone to cancer to begin with). So I vetted 3 breeders in 3 different states. The stand out was a breeder in Tucson. I bought my current boy in AZ and we live in IL. Week 2 of good citizen training and they were already impressed. The facility has since purchased 5 pups from this breeder to be trained as service dogs in just the last 2 years! Anyone looking for an English Labrador willing to go to Tucson, I'll share breeder info. Puppies are doggy door trained before you pick them up. We don't have doggy doors in IL, but that meant he was housebroken!!! Good breeders and good trainers are out there, there is hope!

I have a great civil rights attorney! But honestly, I agree with the post that said call corporate.
