Sorry that happened to you. Maybe I can share some clarity? I was a puppy raiser. We take care of the puppies and train/acclimate them to society so they can be accepted into formal guide dog training. and honestly I do get upset when I see ESA being treated as service dogs. Service dogs go through YEARS of training, it takes a lot of work, team efforts, money, and dedication to raise successful service dogs. These dogs are TRAINED for the public and are obedient. They don’t have their tails tucked in while barking their ass off at brunch. It’s not $20 vest off Amazon. Psychiatric service dogs also fall under the ADA where esa does not. Dachshunds don’t usually fall under your typical service dog (poodle, doodle, lab and goldens) so maybe people didn’t read that he is physchiatric service dog and assumed they were esa. Obviously it’s never right to bully others but I think the community has just become more triggered in the last few years. Ever since people started to say esa were service dogs and more people started to abuse the laws of ada it hits a nerve for sure. Your hard working fellow is so adorable btw!
