I didn ' t have an problem with her cause my Decidueye had pluck so he took her out in two turns . <| sep |> SD owner here , and I just want to make sure there ' s not any confusion here because it makes life hell for those of us who need our dogs in public Is it an ESA or an actual SD she ' s claiming ? For a Service Dog , the owner must be disabled , and the animal themselves must perform and have been trained to do so specific tasks not just exist ! to mitigate their individual owner ' s disabilities , and be well behaved at all times under basically any condition . Other dogs , kids , cats , startles , etc If it ' s a dog who does no tasks to mitigate her specific disabilites other than existing , it ' s an ESA . Period . She can ' t claim it ' s a SD . That ' s fraud .
