Once had a friend in assisted living. I would take my dogs to see him. Always stopped in at the front desk for the ok. That consisted of multiple treats before I could enter the gauntlet of elderly people who wanted some animal interaction. Literally a half hour to get through the hall. Not complaining. An hour or so with intended friend and the gauntlet on the way out. Everybody was happy. My animals had 0 service training. They did have my training.
Just to clarify something for a lot of people -
'Service dog' is not the same as 'comfort dog/animal'
Service dogs are highly trained and will do whatever the hell they're told whenever the hell they're told to do it 99% of the time. The rules for obtaining that title are strict and regulated.
'Comfort' dog/animal is a title for an animal whose owner wants to be able to take it with them wherever the hell they want and filled out some sort of bullshit form and mailed it in.
They aren't the same.
I get the concept of a 'comfort' dog/animal. But they shouldn't get any passes for where they can and cannot go.
When I have a dog, it's a big dog, like a .45. Small dogs, like 9mm, are for women. [Sarcasm2]
Dogs are dogs. If you want a family member, have a child. If you think any dog is more important than a human, sorry about your perspective on life.
roughly 14000 years of human interaction with dogs. Why the change?

I guess I have been lucky, when I spot a dog at Home Depot they seem to have been very well trained. Outside of Home Depot, I will see purse dogs that stay in the owners shopping cart.
We have one person at work with a service dog that is very well trained. The dog has a nice jacket on the dog to indicate "I am a service dog".
Forms? Ha! [ROFL1] Not even that. You can buy a "service dog" vest online, all you need is a way to pay for it. No forms, no certification, nothing.Quote:

People who abuse the system like that are just begging for the government to step in and start regulating it.
