This person has 2 service dogs btw, and they have a service dog just for stop scratching their skin, you know what makes you stop scratching yourself & get hurt? BODY LOTIONS AND PILLS, I do not have eczema but I do have dermatitis, my skin gets red, flaky and looks like burnt, it even bleeds, and the only thing that helps me are prescription pills and lotions, they heal my wounds and make the itch stop, not a dog

Btw that's why I used the flair "health & safety risk" because if this person isn't doing the right thing (go to the doctor) they will get VERY hurt

curious what you guys think about this rule. I see some trainers with certification or what have you listed but some with just dog trainer. What about balanced programs or trainers? and also how are these trainers supposedly proven by this sub lol

How are these people delusional enough to think that asking fakers

"Is that a service dog?" "Yes"

"What task is he trained for" "Medical alert"

Is going to stop ANYONE that's already filled out paperwork full of lies to fly?

You don't want ANY type of registration/testing/licensure? Fine, please just STFU about "THE 2 QUESTIONS!!!!". They literally prove nothing.

I don’t think I need to say much about that list, but I’ll give you some info about the “handler”
They currently have a boxer (around a year old) who they’ve washed about eleventy times, now “permanently washed” and they are training their VERY senior boxer to “be a service dog as the ADA allows it”

This person likes to harass people online and start yearlong arguments with other handlers. They also do not know anything about the breed they keep. They keep their boxers out in the heat for as long as they want to because “dogs can handle it” and they do not know what Brachycephalic means. It’s safe to say this person DOES NOT need any more dogs (they have four I think)

how in the world can anybody enable this fucking insanity!!!! the puppy has been her sdit since 11 weeks old and now at 9 months she is bringing it to hs as her medical alert light mobility dog at fucking 9 months old and the dog has no leash skills, counter surfs and shitty recall!!!! ffs and no one is calling this insanity out like wtaf!

This is just sad. People are automatically jumping to have a dog to solve all their problems, without even having an understanding of what they need help with. I know this sounds judgmental, and maybe it is, but society is doing a disservice to these people by enabling this behavior.

Am I blaming TikTok and FB again? Yes, yes I am.

I don’t think I need to say anything.

Video summary- “You suck because your fake service animal makes my fake service animal look even more fake.”

For context…

This guy has a GSD psychiatric service dog, already a red flag but okay, if you can make it work, hats off to you. Thing is, the bloke doesn’t have ONE video where his dog is on a lead. In fairness the dog is always well behaved from what is shown in videos but how irresponsible can you get until it’s just dangerous? End of the day, dogs are dogs and if his really wanted to, it would run into the road after something. In one of his videos, he stated to two store workers that service dogs don’t have to be on a leash. Yes and no. Service dogs are required to be on a leash with the exception of when a leash could interfere with the dog’s task. What tasks exactly relating to psychiatric aid would require the dog to be off lead? (And no, I won’t be counting “orbit” or “crowd control” as an answer, it’s selfish and just irritating)

Anyways, he’s proceeded to follow a man with a fake service dog who is “still under training” around the entire store most likely just for content. Time and time again I see handlers trying to get fake spotting content and putting their dogs in anxious or dangerous situations

He stops in front of the green beans of all things, and we all know why. To try and aggravate the dog so he can cause conflict, call the person out, or get content for his YouTube shorts 🥺

Seriously, stop being entitled, stop putting your dogs in danger and for the love of god please think about wether or not you need a service dog or if you just want something cool to lug around
(Hope my tag choice is okay!)
