My apartment manager won't let me keep an emotional support dog
I have been diagnosed with general anxiety and depression by my family doctor. They wrote a prescription for me to have an emotional support dog, I have the paper work, and I gave it to my apartment manager. They said I can't keep the ESD because I'm not disabled. What do you suggest I do?

This is tricky because there are different types of emotional support dogs. The ones that are officially trained actually go through months of training and then are paired with someone for whom they perform specific tasks.You may benefit from looking at the blog written by Valerie Parrott, who has an emotional support dog due to severe anxiety and panic. I will warn you that her blog is very blunt, but she is honest and she has gone through this process: https://thedogintheroom.wordpress.com/2016/06/20/what-makes-a-service-dog/#more-508
Saya telah didiagnosis dengan kecemasan umum dan depresi oleh dokter keluarga saya. Mereka menulis resep untuk saya memiliki anjing dukungan emosional, saya memiliki dokumen tersebut, dan saya memberikannya kepada manajer apartemen saya. Mereka mengatakan bahwa saya tidak bisa memelihara ESD karena saya tidak cacat. Apa yang Anda sarankan saya lakukan?
Ini sulit karena ada berbagai jenis anjing dukungan emosional. Yang dilatih secara resmi sebenarnya menjalani pelatihan selama berbulan-bulan dan kemudian dipasangkan dengan seseorang yang mereka bantu melakukan tugas-tugas tertentu. Anda mungkin merasa terbantu dengan membaca blog yang ditulis oleh Valerie Parrott, yang memiliki anjing dukungan emosional karena kecemasan dan panik yang parah. Saya akan memperingatkan Anda bahwa blognya sangat lugas, tetapi dia jujur dan dia telah melalui proses ini: https://thedogintheroom.wordpress.com/2016/06/20/what-makes-a-service-dog/#more-508
