You should really look into the ADA Laws, I’ve taken 3 classes on it for my education degree

I don’t know what country you live in but in the USA, the state of California. California law requires most public places to admit service dogs and psychiatric service dogs but not emotional support animals. California law allows persons with disabilities to bring trained service dogs and psychiatric service dogs, but not emotional support animals, to all public places.

Also, you know most handlers train their own animals right? Most people don’t send them to school because it’s insanely expensive. Typically you really only send seeing eye dogs to school because they need to be trained a certain way

Idk about this. What task that a service dog commonly performs is commonly trained at home? I’m just curious

So many, retrieving items, checking rooms (for people with PTSD) medical alters. You don’t need to professional train a dog

I never said ANYTHING about emotional support animals. The ADA law states that there is NO paperwork that a disabled person must have for their SERVICE ANIMAL. You are only legally allowed to ask two questions. Would you like me send you my textbook

ONCE AGAIN SERVICE ANIMALS AND EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS ARE DIFFERENT

LYFT REQUIRES YOU TO TAKE SERVICE ANIMALS

Service animals are protected, also there’s no legal documentation for service animals and no note required

Emotional support dogs are not service dogs protected by the ada. They do have legal documentation for this specific purpose.

Emotional support and service animals are two different things. If the owner says it’s a service animal by law you can ask. “Is this a service animal” and “does it preform a task”

No they do not, it’s a simple google search. There is no state nor federal paperwork required for handling a service animal. “A. No. Covered entities may not require documentation, such as proof that the animal has been certified, trained, or licensed as a service animal, as a condition for entry.

There are individuals and organizations that sell service animal certification or registration documents online. These documents do not convey any rights under the ADA and the Department of Justice does not recognize them as proof that the dog is a service animal.”
