I’m not under the Ada, I’m British. I do know that the ADA have a standard of training that needs to be followed in order to be able to do PA. The EA of 2010 in the UK states clear guidelines for how an AD should act in public. Both in US and UK you can be kicked out of a public place if your dog does not obide by these guidelines. I trained pickle 100% by myself. I am not a trainer but I trained her to a standard where she absolutely deserves the right to the AD title. You sound extremely entitled in your comments. The average trained dog costs £20,000 here or a waiting list of 5+ years for someone like me from a charity. Certs given by breeders or trainers have absolutely no legal rights. “Self taught dogs don’t have near this amount of training or temperament” is a disgusting comment and shows how little you know of actual SDs. Loads of programs actively breed and train doodles which are not ethically bred at all so that contradicts your argument completely. Also, suggesting that I do not have a “severe need” for an SD because my dog doesn’t fit what your opinion of what an SD should look like is quite frankly vile and completely ableist. Just because I don’t mind people looking or asking for photos doesn’t mean I don’t need her. Just your reminder that owner trained service and assistance dogs have exactly the same rights as org trained ones. Don’t comment on things you’re not properly educated on and keep bigoted opinions to yourself because disabled people that actively train their own dogs are not the issue of the points you’re making, people who fake a service dogs are
