I think it would stop most LOL
Okay but my therapist wont write me an esa letter because she says it isnt necessary even though i have bipolar ocd anxiety depression and panic attacks soooo if i have to meet with an online therapist 3 times from a service animal site thats valid no?. I spoke to another therapist
What if I accidentally did small claims? At court we got a continuation due to time and now I filed motion to transfer to the civil docket. After in the civil docket wouldn't Motion order of possession again? This time they should grant it due to correct jurisdiction? Also isn't that the same as replevin? I don't have the money to file replevin so should I keep going with this case especially when motion to transfer gets accepted? Thanks!
Is amercian pet real website
Loved school house Rock!
ESA=scam.
Scam.
Hi please respond if your able to give quick advice! Thanks!
I'm researching Amish equine throwaways. The horses had open sores where a harness would have contact. I wanted to know about their animal husbandry practices and this is revealing. I despise dog breeding since there are thousands of dogs in shelters that need a home. Just 4 walls, a meal or two a day, caring and responsible owners. But yet there is Lazybones52 who needs a dog to it's specs.
I understand what you are saying, but if there is no accountability as if an aggressive dog, is a repeat offender, then how do you build a case to eventually 'do something' to correct the repeat aggressive dog attacks? Very interesting discussion here.
Our puppy came from the Amish she’s very smart with a great temperament
did you visit the breeding area, the parents, etc? That is the issue being discussed
@@henrimatisse7481 Puppies were kept in a very clean stall in barn with an the office on top . The whole property was well-kept and clean. That is very smart. I’m surprised how good she is.
I have to admit the time I needed an ESA,, I was so depressed and considering suicide. But NO ONE cared or did anything for me! A guy moved into one of my apartments with an ESA "Piss cat!" No pet fees or damage deposit allowed. His cat destroyed all the carpets/pads, damaged sub floor. This cost me thousands of $ that I did not have! Guy took his cat, paid me NOTHING!
I do not support special rights for ESA. Why not? I am blind. In recent years I have experienced riding the city bus and stepping in or sitting on dog crap left by an ESA. I can't begin to express how much I resent that. As a small time property manager I resent having to replace, at my own expense, all the carpet, pad and sections of sub-floor in apartments where an ESA cat has lived.
How did you comment this then???🤔
They have to stop requiring veterinarian authorization to do necropsies on pets. This happened to me in 2017. The veterinarian misdiagnosis caused sudden death of my dog and then bribed the necropsy person to write some bullshit cause of death which made zero sense given the actual circumstances that lead to his death. Also- grab the records fresh after each visit always. That veterinarian went back and changed notes to make it look like he did all he could when he didn’t do a damn thing.
I am trying to sue a veterinary oncologist for a horrible misdiagnosis to reimburse my for all the unnecessary chemo and rechecks. I have been working with Joey's Legacy but I cannot find an attorney to help, even in a civil case.
We need help in arizona
Okay so how would I be able to get my animal to be able to be an emotional support dog
The problem isn’t landlords. The problem is people lying claiming their random dog is an ESA.
I have a question. Our dog was sick and we brought it to the hospital. The doctor said she refuse to let us take our dog home and the only choice is to put her to sleep or surgery and she came to the conclusions that we won’t be able to afford it. We wanted to take our dog home because we wanted to think things through and and ask the original owner of what to do since the reception was bad in the host and could not reach the owner
She thinks these dog laws are too restrictive... until one of them rips the face off a child. Please, disbar this attorney.
I feel like people are generally unaware that the Pets are Property law can do more harm than it is capable of protecting us. Once you hear just a few of so many traumatizing stories of those unable to pursue justice, left victimized, or suffering injust harm, and realizing we are not the only ones by far struggling- it truly feels unconstitutional. We all need to act in a major way, united together to show the Government of this critical lack in the law - that our companion pets must be legally protected as our society considers them - highly valued members of our family. 🙏💪🐾
ESA is a scam. I have a rental on my property here in Wyoming. I'm not having somebody's dog chasing my horses or running off the wildlife. My lease is month-to-month. Run your ESA scam on me and I'll find an excuse to terminate the lease right quick.

Go Underdogs! ⚖️
The little foot taps at the start 😭😭
You are so ❤❤❤❤❤
I think theirs a confusion, a pet can go to public places, they cannot go in private establishments that don’t allow pets. ESA isn’t considered a Service Animal because it does not require the training
Hi! This is excellent news and progress!! The recognition of emotional distress is a huge step! Is there anything people can do to support these bills? Like contact our NJ congressman and senators to say we support these bills and they are important to us? What would be something effective that a non legal background pet parent could do? Thanks for sharing this great information, we love learning and watching your videos!
Kristina clearly understands there is more than one way to advocate for the animals we love and are responsible for. It only takes a little forethought to do the right thing. We have them and love them, treat them well and protect them. 🛡
Is there such a thing as as an OG Underdog? I think I just saw one ! ⚖️
This would be helpful if it had some information. Perhaps any company names that offer this insurance. Or any information about how it typically works. I fkind tbis video because i have heard this was a thing and am kooking to find information on it. Video doesn't provode any direction for people to even head to do their research.
Hello, I was checking out your website and found the Letter to Your Landlord When He/She Refuses to Accommodate..., it is a very expensive template. Do we just receive the one? What about moving again? I could barely afford the website (yes, I fell for it once) but I need my ESA. Is there a more affordable route since I do not have a doctor with a long relationship? Thank you for all of the info in this video series.
Hi dear. Thank you so much for your videos. I am a cancer patient, and I have chronic diarrhea because the big chunks of my intestines were removed due to cancer and radiation damage. I am so sorry to talk about this, but I am very confused. So because of all the damage, I don't feel my diarrhea coming, I get a lot of irritation and bleeding because of it. So I got a dog and trained her to let me know to change my underpants and pants. It actually helped me to relieve a lot of pain because of her. So, a couple of years ago, I registered one of those websites you mentioned with my Dr's letter, but I see now it's a scam. Please tell me what to do, where to call to have a really legal service dog. I haven't traveled in years because of my health issue, but since now i have help from my dog, I want to travel. Can you please help me where to start. Thank you. And I apologize to you and everyone for this comment.
Yes shame on people that lie about having emotional or service dog. Because it really messes up the chances of people that do really need support dog. I am gonna be honest. I am a cancer patient and I have chronic diarrhea which sometimes I don't feel "it" so my dog is trained to let me know to change my pants... if you know what I mean. So how I go from here? My Dr's already know about her and her training. If I want to travel with her, what should I do? And where can I call so my dog can pass as service dog. I am very confused.
There's no registration or licensure for service animals. Under the ADA, you need 1. to be disabled with a disability that impairs one or more major life functions, 2. have the service dog be trained specifically to to work or a task(s) to mitigate the symptoms of your disability, and 3. have the service dog be trained to behave and be under control at all times in public (this includes becoming desensitized to sounds, sights, other dogs, children, busy traffic, etc.) It sounds like you're already getting the support from your dog at home? And it sounds like it has been task trained? Has your dog been trained by yourself or by a dog trainer? If your dog has only been task trained, then I would work on doing training for basic obedience, advanced obedience, and public access training. You can work toward passing the AKC's tests for CGC, CGCA, and CGCU as indicators that your dog is ready to start working in public. There are lots of Facebook groups for service dog handlers and for service dog owner trainers if you are looking for more support. When you travel with your service dog, businesses (such as retail and restaurants) are only allowed to ask you the two ADA questions to verify if your dog is a service dog: 1. Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? and 2. What work or task has the dog been trained to perform? If you stay in a hotel with your service dog, the same 2 ADA questions apply in order for you and your service dog to be granted legal access to a room. Hotels cannot charge you cleaning fees or pet fees. However, they can charge any damages that your service dog might incur (but service dogs should be highly trained, so if damages happen, they need to be pulled from work and go back into a period of training). If you fly within the US, a different law is applicable: the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA). You will need to inform your airline when you book your ticket that you have a service dog (usually listed under disability accommodation requests) and you will need to fill out the required Department of Transportation form. There's a lot of useful information for service dog handlers on the UA-cam channel, "Doggy U". I highly recommend you check it out. Best wishes!
Is there a Fla Office that addresses Tortoises.
I live in missouri and my landlord refuses to take the paperwork that my medical doctor gave me for me for him and he has verbally stated he want to evict me and can not find a lawyer to help
You can't take them out of the house?
It would stop me 😮😂
Not only was it easy for you to talk for 20 mins, it was easy to listen to you, and on normal speed. I was especially reassured to know that arrangements can be made for lawyers with a specialty, like you, can be consulted, even if my location is not on your official 'licensed in' list. I look forward to watching you expand and become a help for so many people that need you. Animals are such an important part of our lives, a little proactive-ness (not a word) could avoid unnecessary emotional suffering. We have plenty of that to go around. Go get 'em underdog!
Thank you so much!
Doctors note didn’t work from my mental health facility my apartment still said they need the dogs ID number and required to be spayed even though she’s 8 weeks old 😟
Scam denied!
Doctors note didn’t work my apartment still said they need the dogs if number 🙄
English bro. Need the dogs if what?
Thank you!! Yes! These things are all a huge scam and people need to stop supporting them!!!!! Learn from legitimate Service Dog Teams and ESA owners how to do things the correct way and we'll all be fine with that!! (1.) According to the ADA and most US State Laws, ONLY Service Dogs and Service Mini Horses are allowed in non-pet-friendly places. Because of the training a Service Dog or Service Mini Horse has had, which includes Task Training that helps keep their disabled owner out of the ER or Morgue. It's also because the Service Dog or Mini Horse is legally classed as 'Medical Equipment' as if being like a wheelchair, oxygen tank, or other assisstive device that they get to go where other animals aren't allowed. (2.) ESAs have their very valid purpose, yes, but please do not take them where pets are not allowed. They have no Public Access permission beyond the apartments and rental houses that otherwise say 'No Pets' or 'Pets of Certain Size Allowed'. Again, one must be legally declared disabled to qualify for an ESA. (3.) Business Owners, Managers, and Employees really have *no* excuse not knowing the ADA. It's a 34 year old Federal Law this July! www.ada.gov/resources/service-animals-faqs Just in case any of these three I mention here need that link. You're welcome. Print it out and have your employees read it daily and enforce it. Federal Law over-rules corporate, etc, policies. Time to just lean on it and stop giving legitimate Service Dog Teams such awful Access Issues. Thank you.
They are also causing hurt and damage to people with “real service dogs”. We are now facing dangerous situations with people bringing their ESA and fake untrained Fake Service Dogs into public. Some dog then have to be retired. We also face so much more issues with access and discrimination as well.
I live in government housing apartments I feed them and give them medical attention as needed plus I and my friend Nancy T.N.R. them as much as possible! The management has threaten me many times so far!
My landlord just sent me a separate form that they want me or my doctor to fill out asking more information beyond the letter. My doctor originally wrote saying that they recommended me to have an ESA dog. My manager says their corporate office has “thousands” of people have no problem filling them out and his claiming that it is legal for me to ask this. The form they sent me doesn’t even have their company logo on it. I told them I would not fill it out until they could show me the law stating they were allowed to ask these types of questions.
"Promo sm"
My Psychologist informed me that she cannot register my dog as ESA because she doesn’t have the specific credentials to make that determination, she could only write out a suggestion/ recommendation.
There is NO such thing as registration.
Not at all puppy meals are Amish, but a lot of them are.
Pet deposits are like $300 for an apartment they make owning a pet so expensive people can’t afford it all they do is charge you money on everything now it’s support animal registry well every dog is a supports animal this is bs to go through
I always feel hopeful when I see one of your videos. There is a true need for people like you. When everything was over, did they ever explain anything?
