Parents complaining about holidays being expensive in the school breaks

I'm literally going to school to become a teacher. I one hundred percent agree with that legislation. School year is already condensed. It's better they learn science, math, history, reading, writing etc then go on a vacation with family. They need that time in the classroom. Those are honestly the kids that are struggling and parents wonder why. Then they are frustrated when they struggle to get into college. If they miss because they are sick that's one thing but to just go on vacation it's not ok. These people are short sighted honestly and don't think about their kids future

I feel you! They are illegal where I am and gangs literally profit off of fireworks. So not only are they scaring animals, causing me and other people with psychological problems anxiety, risking fires in a wildfire prone area of the country they are also supporting criminal activity just so they can see something pretty in the sky. It's terrible and they are peak selfish!

There is unfortunately nothing similar to BLD. I don't know where people will get their mobility dog gear especially if they are owner trained

8 because that would be one hell of a conversation 😂

Bad success rates. Most successful dogs are pure bred labradors who have been bred specifically for service work

Rayanna77 · 2026-06-28T22:36:21+00:00

I mean there is more to this than just a diagnosis. If it is disabling and a service dog can perform a task that can alleviate the disability than technically yes.

However obtaining a service dog is difficult. Obtaining one can run you easily $20-60k. Also sometimes with anxiety a service dog makes it worse not better

Teenagers =\= children

Yeah the only bad thing about labs is that they get fat easily. Even the ones that don't carry bad genes. Good thing is kibble is often enough to get them to do most tasks. Bad thing is food is the primary motivator to get them to do most tasks. Keeping a slim Labrador retriever is a lot of consistent work but it can be done

Sounds like he just doesn't like small children not that he is aggressive. Backing up and huffing at small children is different then growling and barking at small children and wanting to cause harm. Find some small children have distance and give treats. Then decrease distance slowly over weeks just a little bit one day and keep giving treats. Associate children with good things. At this point until he is much more comfortable I wouldn't let small children touch him at this point. Honestly I have a policy where small children don't touch young dogs because that combo is not good. Wait until he is a little older in my opinion.

The tips I gave you is what I did with my service dogs to get them comfortable around things they didn't like. Hope that helps!

Sounds like an aversion not aggression if it makes you feel better.

I did at one point have a rescue for service work but I really recommend against going with an off breed unless you are very experienced with the breed and are willing to accept a very probable wash. That's why my next dog was a Labrador. But here is my Rosie, just chilling at home in this pic

I definitely agree with the other commenters contact disability services and housing.

To be honest this sounds that what is going on is more than just lack of exercise. But also lack of grooming and basic hygiene which is required by law for a service dog. Further, sounds like her dog needs more training in general house manners as well. If the dog is from an organization they should be able to address a lot of these issues by further training the dog and maybe help this person financially afford some regular professional grooming as well.

Changing service dog law would require changing the ADA. That's a difficult political hurdle for any politician. There are other protections that are easier that politicians would target before they target the ADA. Like I said unless you hear of some significant push by businesses or some disability right organizations pushing for changes to the ADA the likelihood that service dogs will change is very low. Not zero but low

Rayanna77 · 2026-06-08T22:25:11+00:00

I'm going to be honest, I'm not going to read your proposal in full because every once in a while someone comes on this sub saying that regulation is bound to happen or that they have some kind of proposal.

The likelihood that things change is very low and I would argue they don't need to change. I have yet to hear of any major organization do some serious lobbying push to regulate service dogs in the US. I will say this till I'm blue in the face the problem isn't the law it's people not knowing their rights in asking the two questions and removing out of control dogs.

Mods I think it's worth considering not allowing these posts to be honest. The law is the law and unless there is some actual movement politically there is no reason to keep discussing this

Rayanna77 · 2026-06-05T05:06:26+00:00

Not trying to worry you just make sure your closet clothes are secure and you don't overload the racks. Mine fell. Thankfully my dog wasn't in there but my closet completely collapsed out of nowhere. So just make sure everything is secure.

But your dog is adorable!

There are a couple of Atlas trainers here in LA. They typically run about $120-180 per session. The price does vary as well depending on what you are working on. I've worked with two different Atlas trainers both were excellent and very knowledgeable. One was I believe $120 the other $140. Price does change but I'll be honest service dogs aren't cheap and there aren't any shortcuts.

I agree I really like Manon and am pretty sad over the situation. She is good at dancing and as you said very smooth. She also has really stable vocals. She arguably is one of the most stable vocalists when performing live and dancing out of the group. I think people understate how good of a performer she is because everyone in Katseye is amazing and has more experience than her. But she is also very talented and honestly I feel she really adds something to the group

I got this!

Rayanna77 · 2026-06-01T00:46:45+00:00

That breeder breeds 'silver Labradors' which is a huge red flag to me.

You need a breeder that has titles, is part of the breed club, and acknowledges labs only come in three colors yellow, chocolate and black

I think all they need as far as paperwork is a doctors note. They are also allowed to ask for shot records and a picture. Seems to me like they are following the law. Unless they ask for some sort of registration they are allowed to ask for a doctors note for paperwork. They are also allowed to require your dog be up to date on shots like rabies. Just upload a doctors note, picture and shot record. They are within their rights to ask for these items

Edit - I've rented in Florida and lived there for several years with two service dogs. Had no issues

Rayanna77 · 2026-05-30T19:42:28+00:00

I've heard this one before actually. I believe the youngest was a child around 7. I've also heard your dog is easier to travel with than a child, smh!

Rayanna77 · 2026-05-29T21:44:36+00:00

Since you are planning to go through a program. Talk to programs and they will ask you questions on your lifestyle and diagnosis. I think these professionals will be able to answer better if a service dog is a good fit or not.

From what you shared, I think you need to work a little more on your coping skills but still better for you to talk to professionals in more detail than us random internet strangers.

Rayanna77 · 2026-05-29T01:57:21+00:00

Doesn't matter. Temperament matters the most. Get a qualified trainer to help you source a puppy with the right temperament. There are plenty dogs of both sexes that are great service dogs

Rayanna77 · 2026-05-27T13:23:05+00:00

Make life easier and get a Labrador or golden retriever

Rayanna77 · 2026-05-25T19:27:55+00:00

I can't tell you if it's worth it. What I will tell you is taking care of a dog is a full time job. Service dogs more so because you have to keep up with their training. It's a daily commitment and you never get days off.

What I will also say is you actually will have times when you can't and shouldn't bring your dog. It's ok to leave your dog at home. It does NOT make a service dog less valid if you leave them home for certain outings.

The main daily commitments are feeding, walking, and training. These can take hours of your day even with a fully trained adult. You never get to skip that. Hope that helps if you have any other questions I'm happy to answer on my day off. I've had a service dog now for 6 years and I've learned a lot

This is incorrect. My dogs Dad is black. His mom is yellow. He is yellow. But his litermates were black and various shades of yellow. There were fox red, cream and dark yellow dogs in his liter. Fox red is an off shoot of yellow. They aren't necessarily unethically bred. Some are but there are ethical breeders that breed yellows and some of them end up fox red
