This right here! People need to understand it takes time, training and work. Not every dog will be fit to do service dog work. Also not all trainers can help you train a service dog. That is a specialty with in itself. I refer out service dog cases to a highly trained legit service dog trainer!!

The Real Cost of Fake Service Animals 🐕‍🦺

"I'm going to register my dog as a service animal!" 🙄

I hear this constantly.

People buy vests online 🛒, pay scam websites for fake "official registration" 💸, and proudly display plastic IDs that mean absolutely nothing. 🆔

Here's what you need to know: 🧠
❌ There is NO official service animal registry in the US 🇺🇸
❌ Those websites charging $50-200 for "certification" are complete scams 🚨💰
❌ Most service animals in active utility cost $15,000-30,000 and take 1-2 years to train ⏰📚

But here's the real problem: 😠 Every fake service animal makes life harder for people with actual disabilities.

When you insist that your untrained pet access areas in public pets are restricted from 🐕💥, businesses become suspicious of ALL service animals.

The impacts are often that people who depend on these specially trained dogs to navigate basic daily tasks face:

Illegal questioning and denied access 🚫🏪
Increased scrutiny and judgment 👀😤
Safety risks when fake service animals distract or attack real ones ⚠️🐕‍🦺
Shame and embarrassment in public spaces 😔💔

One of my mentors who is confined to an electric wheelchair to move and is an expert in dog body language would often comment to me when we would see one of these dogs in public "careful what you wish for."

Let that sink in.

The bottom line:
📢 Real service animals perform life-saving tasks.

They're not pets with special privileges—they're medical equipment with four legs! 🩺🐕‍🦺

Want to bring your dog more places? 🐶❤️ Great!

But please:
✅ Advocate for more dog-friendly businesses 🏪🐕
✅ Look into legitimate therapy dog programs 🏥🐕‍🦺
✅ Consider emotional support animal options for housing 🏠💕
✅ Respect that service animal protections exist for people who truly need them 🤝♿

Your convenience isn't worth undermining someone else's independence. 💪✨

Enrichment!!

New trick!

This!! Give them space and keep moving away until they calm.

It's so easy to freeze when faced with an over reaction from our dog, or another dog even. But one of the best things we can do is to train ourselves to keep our feet moving. So many things become easier, smaller, or even non-problems when we just keep moving. Dory the fish was on to something. 😉
