(DOGS )How do you deal with prejudice?

[Guest guest]

just curious but what happens if you get a dog for emotional support

(like autism, etc) and you go on trips?

What happens with the dog? (can he fly and where and how)

I was thinking, if my husband leaves me, I would benefit greatly from

one of these dogs. My cats probably would hate it. *grin*

emotional support dogs can't fly or have access like SERVICE dogs.Service dogs

can go anywhere the public can go except churches and zoos, I believe.Emotional

support dogs do have access to housing that don't allow pets but they can't go

" out " in public like SD's.http://http://www.psychiatricservicedogs.org/home

You best bet is to teach it some behaviors that also help your child, and

get the dog registered as a service dog. Only service dogs can go

everywhere. Depending on the type of 'emotional support' the dog is

providing for you or your child, it might not be far off from a service dog.

AS/Autistic service dog can do things like: paw you to break a fixation,

help stop a meltdown, by learning the behavior to squeeze the dog. Provide

help by leading and lending a focus in area that you may have problems - ie.

high noise (like a shopping mall) or in crowds. If the dog helps you

function in society, where you would have problems before, then you can

check into what it would take to have it certified as a service dog. 1st

step is to get your Dr to prescribe one.

I didn't see the original post on this, but it reminded me of an episode of

" The Dog Whisperer " where there was a woman that had agoraphobia and panic

attacks and she had an emotional support service dog. It was very interesting.

I didn't even know they existed. It was really nice to see dogs being used in

that way.
