I think it’s great that you use opportunities like this to educate people. I’ve always been taught not to talk to service animals, but before watching your videos I never knew there were certain things you can’t ask the person.
I've learned so much just watching your videos. It's great that you go and educate people because most of us just don't have the knowledge about service animals and there's a lot of misinformation going around so it's great to hear it from someone who knows what they are talking about
I'm so glad that she was willing to listen. A lot of people seem to refuse to admit when they don't know what the rules are regarding service dogs. I've seen a video where a guy was demanding service dog papers from a handler and the guy told him they can't legally do that. The guy's response really baffled me, "There's no such thing as a constitution when it comes to a private business. Your rights aren't really valid, we can ask you to leave anytime you have no right to be here."
Normaschthewanderer woow. That's crazy. Yeah she's young still in highschool so she was open to listen

They can ask you to leave and even have police trespass you from the location. You in turn should get the police to document that it was because you had a service dog so you can sue them later for discrimination.
I love how you always take time out of your day for service Dog education. It's so important! Sounds like you weren't in an attack this time, either, so progress (maybe?) with this situation! :)
HAHA Well, now my family member asks for ID. He had so many issues with "fakes" shitting all over the store. Now he asks and if they do show it... he'll kick them out of the store. He accepts ADA Cards and Program Cards
I want to thank you for making these videos and sharing them. I knew that when a dog had a vest on that it was working. I did not understand that service dogs didn't need to have a vest on to be working. I have learned a lot about service dogs from your videos. I really appreciate it. I now know how to help stand up for others whom are disabled. Thank you for educating those of us who had no clue what was what. :)
I think it's very smart to record everywhere you go and completely understand why! And I'm also called rude, but it's just how I talk. I don't try to be! Plus like you I stand up for myself & my rights.
Manager can't "manage" if he doesn't have his facts right. . I thought it was nice though, that you drove down to the equator to record the last part. It's always good to get a different angle on things.
Also they can’t ask those questions if it’s obvious. I have a Guide Dog in training. She behaves exactly the way she is supposed to unless people bother her and distracting her. She also has a hard time with being distracted by other dogs mostly looking but the other owners dog was barking at Angel and that’s why she was looking. This happens in my building where I live. The neighbours always accuse my Guide Dog of things that she does not have anything to do with her.
Yvonne Alvarez I do the same thing, keep to myself and don't go around advertising why I need a service dog. So many people come up to me because my SD is so large and ask "why do you need a SD?", or what's wrong with you, etc, etc. I try to be polite, but some people are just nasty, hateful shits you start to get an attitude!
Where did you get a head halter for your dog and do they have small head halters for small dogs I have a small dog that I'm currently training and I want to engage more focus with me and the dog and I feel as a head halter would be helpful.
I live in NM but where do you get those law cards? I want to get some for my SDIT which in NM they are legally protected. I’m very new to SD’s and SDiT and owner training. My two teen puppies are basic training right now but I’d like to get cards to hand out when I start taking in public to non pet friendly places in the future.
Actually, my brother says that his friends had to go to school and have her trained, and they have a certificate. But, as you said it is illigal to ask for it.
In the USA it is not required for a service dog to be trained by a specialty facility, or to have documentation stating that it is a service dog and has been trained. No one shall ask for proof of documentation, because it does not exist. Here is the FEDERAL ADA website for more information www.ada.gov/service_animals_2010.htm "Staff cannot ask about the person’s disability, require medical documentation, require a special identification card or training documentation for the dog, or ask that the dog demonstrate its ability to perform the work or task." www.ada.gov/regs2010/service_animal_qa.html Q17. Does the ADA require that service animals be certified as service animals? 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.*
The certificate from the trainer is basically a diploma saying "hey! I passed my training! :D" It's not required for anything, and is really just to hang on your wall.
If the dog is trained through a program which specializes in training dog's to be a service dog , the owner's are sometimes given a certificate at the end of the dog's training, just to be like " Hey, my dog completed training to be a service dog ". Almost as if someone won a Certificate for winning in a science fair, that doesn't mean that they are a trained scientist. If you do get a certificate from the program that your dog was trained at, it doesn't count as legal paperwork, because the ADA does NOT recognize service dog's as having an ID, license, etc.
I dont get why people have to ask questions, and get involved, max is clearly helping u!! Thx u btw I make sure I dont even look at a ser ice dog and I tell others not to address them!!

mieshabelle Finally some one who thinks me. Willing to look at the actual laws.
So even if you don't have a vest on your dog that states the dog is a service dog, it would be illegal to say hi puppy/distract when you walk by? Or do you have to have the vest on for it to become a legal issue?
i am thinking of possibly getting a puppy and training it as a service dog maybe within the next year or two. do you have an email address or anything that i could maybe ask you questions on? i've been doing my own research but i really like to have people to talk to like about training and stuff.
I just have one question i love your videos SOO much and i dont mean this in a mean way im just curious. Do you have something around his nose/mouth and if you do why does it help him or you in some way agian no hate i love you and your videos
i have a legit question for anyone willing to be kind and answer! if i adopted a dog to train as my emotional support/service dog for my severe anxiety and ptsd, and i went through a website, the dog isn’t actually ok to be in stores and work? i was told it was ok by a mental health professional so i went ahead and did it, i spent a lot of money on it and the dog is extremely smart and helps me. she isn’t vicious and gives me cues letting me know to calm down.
No, those papers are worthless. So many health professionals and doctors have zero clue about service dogs. An emotional support dog or ESA are not service animals either. ESAs lack task training, as well as public access training (obedience such as heeling and ignoring distractions). What makes a service dog or service mini horse (the only two species allowed under federal law the ADA) is the task training. Tasks are specific actions or work the animal preforms to mitigate your disability. Join the community on facebook! 😁 Plenty of groups out there, some toxic some awesome, but regardless you will learn a lot! Here is the laws and resources for you! Also, a doctor note will be required for housing or airline travel, but not for public accomodation access (grocery, bank, hotels, etc). Using papers or even ur doctors note for public access sets up teams to fail, such as u can see in this video. I reccomend that your dog be able to pass the Public Access Test (PAT) or the CGC (the AKC administers them at petcos), but they are not required. Also, if you have to go tp court for any reason it is important to have training logs and vlogs to show obedience AND tasks. Good luck!

With passing out' seizures, low/high blood sugars/blood pressure things like that. There are chemicals that change they can smell the changes. Example my blood sugar is almost normal, Snow my SD she knows that chemical smell. Then my blood sugar go up to 372 that chemical changes and she can smell the change with that. This gives her the signal to alert to my high blood sugar.
If it’s a service dog from certain veterans organizations they do give the recipients paperwork for the dog. That’s the only paperwork I would ever expect someone to show. Nonetheless it’s illegal to ask and it shouldn’t be done. But I do know that my brother friend received paperwork for his dog from veterans organization
Yeah programs do give paperwork of completion, however presenting that instead of educating employees/staff is a problem. Cause now they expect the next team to have it. when the majority of service dogs are owner trained, you can see where that sets teams up for failure after you.
is it illegal if you ask the owner the dogs breed without talking to the dog? There's a service dog where I work that comes in regularly and is the most GORGEOUS dog I've seen in my life but I don't want to ask the dogs breed if it's illegal.
Question: So if someone has anxiety but it's not necessarily a disorder. (Just things you worry or fear about) are you aloud to have a service dog in public with you? See I'm one to deal with anxiety a lot in public. 😊
Gaming with Friends goodness I made an error in my grammar. Stop being smart with me here. I was asking a serious question. And I would not bring doing the complete opposite already looked up that I am aloud a service dog in public if it is trained to do a task to diminish some of the anxiety I have I public.
I’m a little bit late but I hope I can be of assistance. If your anxiety is disabling (limiting one or more daily life functions, enough to the point you can’t do things for yourself) then legally you are. It would probably be best to ask your doctor (psychiatrist or therapist would be best though) if a service dog would assist you.
You’re literally saying if you fee anxious can you get a service dog... like... obviously not. You can’t have anxiety that isn’t a disorder. And if you haven’t been diagnosed you’re not disabled.
Wanted to tell you I'm sorry for doubting your illness. Docta Canibus is the person who is just out to get attention! I think my brother may have POTS? His symptoms are the same as yours. But he doesn't use a service dog. He has me.
WolfLynxinar Probably shouldn't. The best thing to do is to ignore the dog and only speak to the owner if you must. Of course, compliments such as "I'm so happy to see such a well-trained dog" are always nice but don't distract the dog. (Distracting could be making kissy sounds, looking the dogs in the eye, tapping the ground, petting etc.)
Dcn Yes, I realize that but if you distract the dog you risk the dog missing an alert that could, seriously hurt or even kill the owner. Service dogs should never be distracted when in public, or at home if they are working.
Wow...I had no idea how many obstacles service dog handlers face! Geez....I bet you are exhausted. I would get so tired of saying the same things over and over!
I know this might sound unfair to many people, but with all the people that are taking advantage of the laws on service animals, I think there needs to be some way for stores to confirm that the animal is there for service. I see more and more places where people are bringing their animals (mostly dogs) into stores and the like where in the past they never would have been allowed. If the service animals aren't required by law to have vests identifying that they are legitimate service animals, and establishment people are not allowed to ask them whether their animal is a service animal, it certainly limits what they can do about animals that do not belong in the store. There is a woman from my church who was training service dogs for a while, and according to her, the identifying vests were required by law. Go figure (I looked it up and you are correct).
Nathan .Vanderslice It’s really not as hard as people make it out to be. Legally a business may ask two questions: 1) Is that a service dog trained to mitigate a disability? 2) What tasks has it been trained to perform? If a person does not or can not answer the questions, they can be denied access. If the dog is given access and later begins to misbehave (not listening to the handler, not being housebroken, and just generally causing a nuisance) then they can ask the dog to leave. A real service dog behaves well, fakes do not.
You are correct, however the problem is that there are people who are bringing so called "service animals" which are actually emotional support animals (ESA's), and in many cases they are not even that, it's just someone's way to get their pet on the plane without having to pay the fees, and not have them in the area of the plane (in kennels or travel crates) While you are correct on those two points, employers or businesses are not allowed to ask for paperwork to prove that the animal is a service animal.
Nathan .Vanderslice Planes are different. They fall under the ACAA (Air Carriers Access Act), and as a result have different rules. People with ESA’s have to provide paperwork, some service dogs don’t. (Psychiatric service dogs do)
Service Dog Paws but how is it illegal for someone to be "ignorant" on the issue, thus asking for papers. I just don't understand that part. It being illegal for people talking and distracting the dog, that I do get very much.
Stevie Nicks Well ignorance is an excuse once. When that person asks for papers and I explain the laws they are no longer ignorant. It's after that if they continue where it became truly illegal.
Who knew watching someone walk around with a dog would be so entertaining. Love to see you put people in their place. But it just sucks because so many people simply just don’t know the rules of handling a service dog
Even when you're perfectly level-headed and calm, people be like
*DANG you salty!*
Yaaassss Dom! Drop that logic!! 😂 I love how calm and kind you are with people when they do something they shouldn't, you iz amazing!
I think it’s great that you use opportunities like this to educate people. I’ve always been taught not to talk to service animals, but before watching your videos I never knew there were certain things you can’t ask the person.
I feel bad because I definitely have stared at/greeted working dogs in public before I've seen these vids. Thanks for educating! ❤
Emily b Don't feel badly! As long as you understand and respect that it shouldn't be done, no need to dwell in the past.
Hopefully you wouldn’t be harassed by there handlers(which happens a lot sadly) and agreed!
I've learned so much just watching your videos. It's great that you go and educate people because most of us just don't have the knowledge about service animals and there's a lot of misinformation going around so it's great to hear it from someone who knows what they are talking about
I know this was posted 3 years ago but I went to a cafe and there was a sigh saying “no pets allowed” but also said “except guide dogs”.
I'm so glad that she was willing to listen. A lot of people seem to refuse to admit when they don't know what the rules are regarding service dogs. I've seen a video where a guy was demanding service dog papers from a handler and the guy told him they can't legally do that. The guy's response really baffled me, "There's no such thing as a constitution when it comes to a private business. Your rights aren't really valid, we can ask you to leave anytime you have no right to be here."
Normaschthewanderer woow. That's crazy. Yeah she's young still in highschool so she was open to listen
They can ask you to leave and even have police trespass you from the location.
You in turn should get the police to document that it was because you had a service dog so you can sue them later for discrimination.
Hahahahaa! "If I have to come back up here...!". You go, Dom! Nicely done.
I love how you always take time out of your day for service Dog education. It's so important! Sounds like you weren't in an attack this time, either, so progress (maybe?) with this situation! :)
HAHA Well, now my family member asks for ID. He had so many issues with "fakes" shitting all over the store. Now he asks and if they do show it... he'll kick them out of the store. He accepts ADA Cards and Program Cards
Good on you for educating the public!! Thank you!
Stop stroking this demented, delusional woman's ego
I want to thank you for making these videos and sharing them. I knew that when a dog had a vest on that it was working. I did not understand that service dogs didn't need to have a vest on to be working.
I have learned a lot about service dogs from your videos. I really appreciate it.
I now know how to help stand up for others whom are disabled. Thank you for educating those of us who had no clue what was what. :)
cool knowledge never knew all that info love your videos keep it up
I need to get popcorn, this is pure entertainment. 😂

The neighbours always accuse my Guide Dog of things that she does not have anything to do with her.
thanks for educated other about service dogs. it Helps
I was doing some research on service dogs and I was so surprised how many websites said “register your service dog”.
This is why I keep to myself its a thing with "ill" people to be nasty I don't pay attention to anyone at all.

Willing to look at the actual laws.
The ada applies to all states and according to it you can ask the two questions mentioned in the video and nothing else
in general curious as to why service dogs don’t need papers?
So even if you don't have a vest on your dog that states the dog is a service dog, it would be illegal to say hi puppy/distract when you walk by? Or do you have to have the vest on for it to become a legal issue?
Idk but handlers have no right to get mad if their dog is distracted by someone because the dog doesn’t have a vest.

Fantastic you are taking the time to educate people, but vertical video? You are better than that.

It’s a head halter.
I have a question, am I allowed to tell the owner's service dog is adorable? (BTW Max is adorable 🐶)
WolfLynxinar Probably shouldn't. The best thing to do is to ignore the dog and only speak to the owner if you must. Of course, compliments such as "I'm so happy to see such a well-trained dog" are always nice but don't distract the dog. (Distracting could be making kissy sounds, looking the dogs in the eye, tapping the ground, petting etc.)
Oh okay thanks! I just see a lot of adorable service dogs :3
Dcn Yes, I realize that but if you distract the dog you risk the dog missing an alert that could, seriously hurt or even kill the owner. Service dogs should never be distracted when in public, or at home if they are working.
Wow...I had no idea how many obstacles service dog handlers face! Geez....I bet you are exhausted. I would get so tired of saying the same things over and over!
I know this might sound unfair to many people, but with all the people that are taking advantage of the laws on service animals, I think there needs to be some way for stores to confirm that the animal is there for service. I see more and more places where people are bringing their animals (mostly dogs) into stores and the like where in the past they never would have been allowed. If the service animals aren't required by law to have vests identifying that they are legitimate service animals, and establishment people are not allowed to ask them whether their animal is a service animal, it certainly limits what they can do about animals that do not belong in the store. There is a woman from my church who was training service dogs for a while, and according to her, the identifying vests were required by law. Go figure (I looked it up and you are correct).
Nathan .Vanderslice It’s really not as hard as people make it out to be. Legally a business may ask two questions: 1) Is that a service dog trained to mitigate a disability? 2) What tasks has it been trained to perform? If a person does not or can not answer the questions, they can be denied access. If the dog is given access and later begins to misbehave (not listening to the handler, not being housebroken, and just generally causing a nuisance) then they can ask the dog to leave. A real service dog behaves well, fakes do not.
You are correct, however the problem is that there are people who are bringing so called "service animals" which are actually emotional support animals (ESA's), and in many cases they are not even that, it's just someone's way to get their pet on the plane without having to pay the fees, and not have them in the area of the plane (in kennels or travel crates) While you are correct on those two points, employers or businesses are not allowed to ask for paperwork to prove that the animal is a service animal.
Nathan .Vanderslice Planes are different. They fall under the ACAA (Air Carriers Access Act), and as a result have different rules. People with ESA’s have to provide paperwork, some service dogs don’t. (Psychiatric service dogs do)
Live do a live
Why can't you ask for papers?
Stevie Nicks because in the us there aren't any papers. So you can't ask for something that doesn't exist
Service Dog Paws but how is it illegal for someone to be "ignorant" on the issue, thus asking for papers. I just don't understand that part.
It being illegal for people talking and distracting the dog, that I do get very much.
Stevie Nicks it is not illegal to ask. Not everyone is educated on the laws. But it is illegal to deny access if you don't have papers.
Stevie Nicks Well ignorance is an excuse once. When that person asks for papers and I explain the laws they are no longer ignorant. It's after that if they continue where it became truly illegal.
Service Dog Paws yes, if after you educate, they refuse entry, that is illegal. I just wanted to clarify.
This is why youtube was invented
Who knew watching someone walk around with a dog would be so entertaining. Love to see you put people in their place. But it just sucks because so many people simply just don’t know the rules of handling a service dog
