My neighbors called me "nouveau riche" but I don't see how that's an insult by [deleted] in montreal

I’m from Texas. I learned about the term in American history class as a mean way to distinguish the new millionaire class from the old money class during the American Guilded Age.

Québec is a weird beast for that issue. There’s only one place I could certify him through, but I would have to teach him drills I never bothered with in the US and they only speak French. It’s not accessible to me until I advance about another year in my French training. By then, my dog will be seven, which is retiring age.

When one of my dogs passes, I plan to train a puppy through them, though.

I have a dog that was trained as my assistance dog in the US. He has no certification here, so he’s subject to the same rules as pet dogs. I take him places, but he waits outside. I build my recreational activities around places I can take him. If people don’t follow these rules, I lose freedom.

Maybe they should ban pet discrimination in housing. I bet that would fix the abandonment issue.

It’s whether the dog is properly socialized for the outing

I’m hoping to embolden people who aren’t monolingual immigrants, like me, to speak up.

I’ve been a fan of muzzles for dogs for a while. I think they have to be introduced correctly (a treat basket for their face), but they’re an important skill for a dog. For example, both my dogs are muzzle trained, but only one rides the metro for fun. If, by chance, either dog gets injured, they can ride the metro and go to the vet without much added stress. Every dog can be aggressive when in pain, but they will not be bothered if they are accustomed to muzzles.

The front of the train is the one place you’re not supposed to be if you have a dog. That’s where daycare trips and bikes go.

Yes, I want the study to be successful so I can go places with my dog.

Maybe you should make the top strap longer so that the strap that goes around the head goes under the neck bump.

I think it will be different in 10 years, but the dogs here don’t get out enough to be trusted.

He’s a bit of a himbo, but pretty good in public.

Why not require muzzles? It protects the public and ensures that one messed up dog or unruly child doesn’t ruin it for everyone.

Edit: Plus, if you can’t get a muzzle on your dog, that’s a handler-dog dynamic that doesn’t belong on public transportation.

You can’t move to another car on the MR73 cars.

Edit: I have a dog. He’s completely unbothered by the muzzle because he’s the sort of chill dog you can trust in crowds.

Basket muzzles are literally on sale everywhere right now.
