Wow I never expected one of our encounters to be on UA-cam 😳 (We are the first clip with the husky) for anyone who wanted to know the cops where called, no action was taken “we can only take action if the dog physically hurt your dog” is what the sheriff said to me, I hope the cops coming in stoped her from doing that in the future, people are annoying something that might seem a little scary to someone can cause a whole big thing for someone else, I’m scared to death when I hear keys or tags because we have almost been attacked 3 times..
I understand ! My Mom saw your video too ! We both got really angry at the part where the owner said your dog was ,,misbehaving" Your pup did amazing as what I saw ! I also get panicked when I hear keys or tags too. don't worry. ❤ I hope your okay now ! things like this are very scary.. especially when the dog barks.
@@TheWorkingRetrievers yes I’m so proud of how well roo did with that! She has a lot of trust in me so she was able to keep her back to the dog and not look back when it barked at her and alerted non stop! Love how the lady said “yours shouldn’t either” like umm my dog is a real service dog doing her job!! She did amazing DPT and guided me out as soon as my body was able to walk, I’m so proud of the way she handled it and has handled similar experiences! I hate how we have to keep worrying about this happening tho... I hate that we get scared of “dog sounds” and it triggers severe reaction in us...thank you for sharing this important info on UA-cam and spreading awareness!
For me it’s a major compliment when someone says, “oh, I didn’t know there was a guide dog there” even if I’m standing inline for the checkout at a store.
My dog behavs like this while he's a service dog in training. But I put clear sign on him that "Service Dog in Training" and "Access NOT Required" and never take him into dog banned places.
@@finalcranefall6201I have a service dog in training patch, and a do not pet patch on my dog. Generally speaking, folks don't know he's in class, or in a store unless they see him. He's a good boy, well trained, he just has this anxiousness we seem to be plateauing on.
If I was being followed and questioned so persistently by a rude person I'd probably tell you my dog is an attack dog in hopes of finishing my trip in peace.. Besides as a member of the public (the person on cart) I would not owe her a explanation of my dogs duty/tasks... Her biggest problem seemed it was because it was a pitbull type dog, not he lack of training alone. 😓
The lady in the cart chasing after the Pit Bull was awful. What gives her the right to decide whether that dog is a Service Dog or not? My SD likes to look around but refocuses when I need him to. Does that make him any less legitimate? No it doesn’t. I would hate to have someone following me and my SD around recording me.
@@ruftsrescuedogshow1850 Yes, but the dog was going up to people and sniffing people, and the owner had no control. she said that the dog was an attack dog and under the ADA service dog's CANNOT be attack dog's. The dog was FAKE.. but the lady in the cart was in the wrong too by harassing and chasing the other young lady around too. The lady with the dog was leaving.. so I see no issue at that point but both of them were in the wrong. and the dog was fake. I am NOT saying that because it's a pitbull. Pitbull's are amazing breeds, but the dog was a fake service dog.. and if it was in training... they should have put a vest on with a in training patch on.
I have a service dog IN TRAINING and I've been accused of having a "fake" multiple times for him looking at another dog or another person etc (which I redirect every time). This is because he is in training and does have slip ups from time to time, but I ALWAYS correct him or redirect his behavior, he's marked as IN TRAINING and I live in Colorado (where service dogs in training are protected under the same laws). He's made a lot of progress, is very well behaved, and I am currently going through a 2 year training program with him (we're 1.5 years into it). He has PA because he is 100% under my control.
They are allowed to look at people and other dogs, just not allowed to lunge, bark, whine, fail to redirect. That's on the public access test. Providing they are under control of the handler and up to date on shots, Service Dogs in training have the same access rights as fully trained Service Dogs.
@oneechannel3366 It's problematic af. There's people out here trying to spot "fakes" that don't even know the ADA laws, harassing people with actual Service Animals. None of us are obligated to provide any proof or satisfy a strangers' intrusive curiosity, and distracting someone's Service Animal while they're on focus/task can cause them to miss an alert and present a very real and immediate danger to the handler. As to owners and employees of any establishment you are in with your Service Animal, they are only allowed to ask two questions: "Is this a Service Animal?" and "What task(s) is he/she trained to perform?" They may NOT ask for documentation, require that the animal demonstrate it's tasks, or inquire as to the nature and details of your disability. They can have a Service Dog Team removed regardless of authenticity if the animal is not within the handlers' control, there are not housebroken, or can not be redirected.
If you ever encounter someone who says their dog is an attack dog AND a service dog, you have every right to tell them "then your dog is a living walking contradiction" and if they ask how or says that's not true, you just tell them that SD are NOT allowed to attack ANYONE! Dog, kid, adult, doesn't matter, SD DO NOT ATTACK! Thus it is impossible for them to be attack dogs.
I once saw a police TV show where some woman was making up a million excuses for everything, including why she couldn't sit in the cop car, and she was like 'I've got claustrophobia.... and agorophobia' and the cop was like 'oh well they must clash terribly!' 🤣 I fully believe you can have both but it was just funny the way the cop replied lol
They might not be. If you are not a law enforcement officer or store employee, that person can tell you whatever they like, or nothing at all, because they owe you neither answer nor explanation. "It's an attack dog" would be a pretty clear way of telling someone "Mind your business and leave me alone, we're not looking to be friendly." Doesn't make it true. 🤷
Oh jeez, that first clip was really scary ;-; Hope the handler was ok, that one nearly gave me a secondhand panic attack lol. The one with the lady in the motorized wheelchair was insanely annoying, it’d be her fault at that point if the dog attacked her. Regardless of the dog obviously being a fake, she was absolutely in the wrong to follow them around and harass them. Just report the dog/call the cops if the dog attacked yours or is interfering, and stay as far away from them as possible to keep your dog safe. Tailing them and escalating the situation like that is literally just begging for trouble. Idk if she had a dog with her or not, but if you have your own service dog, your dog’s safety is absolutely more important than views or confronting someone with a fake, regardless of how ignorant, rude, or annoying the people faking a service dog are. Some people drive me nuts smh
I agree with you. She went way too far. and even if the dog was fake, I would record but then move on with my life. I wouldn't keep harassing them, Plus they were leaving so at that point It wasn't a big deal.
We where the team in the first clip and I called the cops nothing came out of it sadly :/ just a warning annoyed they didn’t do anything when clearly it was not a real service dog and acting like that..
@@TheWorkingRetrieversI know this comment is old, but I’m gonna go ahead and disagree with you. It’s a really good thing that she followed them around and recorded them because it pressured them to leave the store. Her “attack dog” could have done who knows what to who knows who if it were left in the store for longer. While she might have been “annoying” (which honestly, good!) she was not in the wrong what so ever.
*"Idk if she had a dog with her or not." She did. If you had watched the whole clip there you would have seen the dog. So she totally has a service dog 💯% (the one recording that is and the dog has a bright pink vest. Very easy to see.).*
I hate that people are so low as to lie about their dog being a service dog, just to be able to bring it into public places. It detracts from people who have real service dogs, and has caused the discrimination against real service dogs, everywhere.
Dude same! Especially as someone who’s currently attempting to get a PSD of my own it pisses me off so badly. Her dog is a registered ESA but he has a whole SD best that she bought off Walmart for him. She takes him everywhere with her and he’s aggressive as fuck, like this dog will bite you for just standing there which makes it even worse.
I’m glad that there are videos like this, more people need to understand that bringing fake service dogs into places is not okay and is illegal, and as someone with a Chihuahua SD, it makes me so scared that people bring their dogs into stores illegally because of how small my SD is, he could be attacked and gravely injured! It’s so dangerous and I hope that this issue can get more light.
That is exactly why I post video's like this ! I try to educate people about service dogs and also show how harmful it can be when they bring their pet into non pet friendly stores. Wow, That is so cool ! I rarely see people with small SDs anymore... Stay safe out there though ! ❤ and if something were to happen... you can pick up your dog for your dogs safety. (:
@@fauna5328 what do you mean? He’s a service dog trained to respond to my panic and anxiety in public, even has clearance to live with me on college campus and comes to class with me! The breed of the dog had nothing to do with whether or not they are service animals.
@@fauna5328 Nope! he's not, he's gone through multiple training courses and is certified. He is medically trained to aid in anxiety response, and if I need emergency response he can find help by looking for someone close by to call 911 in emergencies. If he was an ESD he could not be allowed into campus or classes. An ESD is not the same as an SD
I don’t like the pit bull one because the person was basically following them and harassing the fake service dog handler but I have to admit when I was a young SD handler I would kind of follow the fake service dogs BUT I would stay at lest 10 feet away from them I would never get 4 feet close to the fake service dog handler. I never said anything to the fake SD handler. I don’t do it any more I usually just stay a good 6 feet away from the fake service dog handler and say “it is illegal to fake a service dog” or something like that. I know I was a bad gal when I was younger I would sometimes sneak out but I mean I was twelve so give me a break! 😅
I sometimes say something to the fake service dog handlers, I say ,,It's illegal to fake a service dog" then I would move on and ignore what they say back.
@Kobe The Service Goldie, yep! I am glad you do that and don’t pitch a fight. Some fake SD handlers like want I fight and when they do I pull out a Ada law card and say “look at my dog then look at your dog. Do you see how stupid you look.” There faces are like “👁👄👁”
@l3arbie Girl, my comment is probably one of the nicest about her I mean look at all of the other comments on her they are not good and they are a little bit rude and I see that you did not comment on any of them.
Pitbulls are some of the most loving and devoted dogs on earth. At one time, they were classed as pound for pound the smartest and strongest dogs in the world. In my opinion the biggest problem with Pitbulls is an ignorant owner. If not trained properly, any dog can be aggressive.
The lady in the electric cart at Walmart went way too far, IMO. By following the couple with a white and brown pitt bull, constantly arguing with them or firing questions at them, is harassment. The couple was in the wrong for having their pet in a non pet friendly place. But, that doesn't give go cart lady license to be a looney.
@@AndersenE27 that was exactly what I was thinking. I can understand when people do say something if they think it’s a fake service dog, but not following them around, talking about it being a “dangerous breed,” and clearly not being educated on service animals or their paperwork that doesn’t exist.
@@itsShelbiLouise the dog she had a problem with was not professional, but he was clearly well behaved. pit bulls have a _human problem_ . they're just _dogs_ who are more likely to be adopted by ppl who call them "attack dogs" & are more likely to be abused than any other breed. it's very sad. he's a good boy, he wasn't a trained professional, but he was a well behaved boy.
The lady in the motorized cart really pissed me off. Yes, the dog clearly wasn't a service dog (though, as far as fake SDs go, he wasn't as poorly behaved as many I've seen), but that doesn't give her the right to harass those people without the intent to educate. Had she approached them with the intent of explaining ADA law and explaining what service dogs do, that may have been different, but she clearly had no interest in educating and was only concerned with the "dangerous pitbull" that was in the store. Them calling their dog a personal attack dog didn't help the situation, however many dogs are trained in bitework and it's possible they were genuinely confused and thought a personal protection dog was considered a service dog. Both parties were in the wrong, but if the lady had approached the woman with the dog in a more polite manner, maybe there would be one less owner who thinks their dog qualifies as an SD.
It is possible that the owners didn’t understand what a medical service dog and a personal-service dog is, I’ve heard people call the dogs they trained in sport personal protection personal-service dogs. It is a dog that provides a service, That’s why many call them personal-service dogs. They really need to learn the difference between them though, if that lady would have explained to them the ada law it would have probably fixed that issue. And the dog most likely isn’t a pit lol. American pit bull terriers are game dogs bred for hunting or taken by dog fighting rings for fighting. No scars so not a fighting dog, and the dog isn’t showing much alertness or prey drive so most likely not a hunting dog. It’s probably an American Staffordshire Bull terrier or American bulldog mutt, those dogs are called pits, buuut if you know what you’re looking for you can tell it isn’t the same. Amstaff was bred for the show ring since the akc refused to recognize the American pit bull terrier as the American bulldog. I’mma leave it at that because this has nothing to do with the video oops. TLDR American pit bull terrier history is interesting.
@@maggiethedruid9010 There’s ways to tell if a dog has prey drive. Especially if they are legit bred dogs or working line dogs, APBT is a very proud built dog and is on alert for their owners to protect their pack, so is American bully. If it’s American bully they show their alertness a bit less from what I’ve seen as personal protection dogs, and do have a very bulldog face and snout. That is the breed’s main features now a days.
@@maggiethedruid9010 being on heel is a command. They aren’t made to keep on heel because it’s constantly going to be working a that just frustrates the dog so people only have it as a command until they say break.
The woman in the motor wheelchair was obnoxious. The dog did nothing at all to her. She just didn’t like it’s breed. However, the moment the woman said that she has papers then that it’s both a service and attack dog I could tell it was indeed a fake. Both suck here.
Yeah! Like, I understand that she was concerned because the dog wasn’t a real service dog but literately following them around and asking for “registration” was major bull.
@@crystalgaming12 yes, but that's usually not while in places like that and the dog is out of the service dog harness. The harness is the dog's signal to be on duty.
@@Charoke You speak for all service dogs, handlers, and trainers? Please share the regulation or law that says the harness is the dog's signal to be on duty. I'd like to have it for when I want to Karen dog handlers I don't know about dogs I don't know in circumstances I don't know.
@@dalepres1 I said usually. I cant speak for US laws as Im norwegian, but trained service dogs are usually trained to be on the job as the harness is on, and that they are free to be dogs off the harness. That's my experience from the online community aswell.
I appreciate what you’re doing here. It really ticks me off when I see fake service animals in stores and restaurants just because people want to have their pet everywhere with them. As a restaurant owner, we are really hamstrung by the law because once someone tells us it’s a service animal there isn’t much we can do. I wish we could ask them for some kind of license or training certificate to prove they’re a real service animal, but all we can do is take their word for it and people lie.
Those people involved with the woman on the electric car were horrible people. I was blocked from their youtube for citing factual sources. They hate pit type dogs with a passion.
@@TheWorkingRetrievers Haha! Yeah. I bad mouthed their cited source, dogsbite.org.. It was founded and is run by yet another rabid pit hater. They inflate numbers, take things out of context, and just make up "facts" to suit their agenda of eradicating any pittie breed. They REALLY hate my boy. He's half Sraffordshire and half Rottweiler. *GASP*.Smartest, easiest to train, friendliest, and most public friendly dog I've ever had. I've had dogs all of my fifty nine years.
That lady in the Walmart seemed much more upset over the fact that it was a pit bull rather than it being a fake. She may have been right, but to follow someone like that is harassment. Go STRAIGHT to management. However, the dog wasn't exactly unfriendly, and didn't seem to be bothering anyone, so she really stepped out of line. Had it of been lunging, pulling excessively, showing signs of reactivity or aggression, that would have been a MAJOR difference, but it wasn't. As someone with a legit service dog, it's frustrating to see fakes, but it's even more frustrating to see discrinitory behavior, over a breed. Personally, my SD is mixed with pit. They're generally an amazing breed, when bred and raised right. Again, as correct as she was, it was still uncalled for, and to then pull the "I'm disabled" card to get her way, kinda made me mad. It puts others into bad light 😕
Yes I agree not to mention service dogs are not perfect I mean my service dog in training is worse then that dog. As soon as I seen the clip of the lady walking up to the pit I was already pissed, she was looking for a fight and it’s honestly disgusting.
I completely agree it was upsetting me to see that her main issue with the dog was that it was a pit my service dog is a pit and he is a fantastic loving and sweet dog many breeds of dogs can be aggressive not just pits the fact that some people attack the whole breed for that just irritates me
The people yelling at others and following people around the store are more distracting/anxiety inducing than the fake SD. I have a SDIT and someone YELLING at others like that would make my anxiety spike more than someone bringing their dogs into WALMART of all places. I'm not finished with the video yet but the only valid reaction I've seen is the first girl because that husky was actively barking at her dog and trying to get to it.
For real. My dog is in training as well, so he's not "perfectly" well behaved all the time. He gets a little overwhelmed at times, but we're working on it.
Honestly that lady in the motorized cart was ridiculous. Didn't seem like a real Service Dog but it wasn't causing a scene or acting aggressive or disturbing the peace. Not to mention the lady was clearly breed biased. I'm more afraid of this crazy lady than that dog!
It also sets a precedence for anybody who wants to bring in their pets. It's illegal and gross to have a dog in a grocery and annoying after to have to try to maneuver around. You aren't allowed to drink and drive so what about if you aren't bothering anybody and behave nicely does that make it OK? Same logic!
That doesn't matter if it's not a service dog .It does not belong in Walmart Personally I wouldn't want to be in a store with a pitbull that wasn't. People shouldn't have to augment their reality to suit your dog fetishes
The pitbull probably isnt a real service dog but the lady in the cart is just harassing them, the dog seems fine. They are both in the wrong obviously but the lady filming was absolutely ridiculous.
also that ladies stutistic where wrong. pit bulls are born friendly and can revert back to being friendly. but still, that lady had no right to follow them she really should have gotten real help I'm kinda afraid of pitbulls and if they have no proof of training and I don't know the people I don't trust pitbulls because some owners really stink at owning them.
THAT PART. I occasionally walk my fiancé's PSD, who is protective of me, but not aggressive. I was walking one day when a guy on the other side of the street from whom I did not perceive good energy or intent, took a few steps toward me and asked "Your dog isn't going to bite me is she?" To which I replied, not from over there she can't. She would not have anyway, providing no physical violence ensued (not sure how she would react, as she hasn't been exposed to that), but I allowed him to believe she might should he fail to keep a respectful distance. 🤷🤷🤷
@@Orange_kitty_can_QuadThe problem is that people in public with their service dogs do not owe you proof of training and, beyond maintaining control of the animal, it is illegal for the owner of the establishment to request documentation or require that task training be demonstrated or otherwise verified.
@@Orange_kitty_can_Quadborn friendly? Lol you obviously have never been around dogs that weren't raised around people at all They're actually born pretty vicious most dogs are
Bro these employees are so irresponsible. If I brought my guinea pig and said he was an emotional support animal they would kick me out, they should do the same for dogs smh.
The women in the electric cart has no right to harass that person. If she thinks it’s fake she should go to management and that’s it. And good call the police on her it’s non of her business because it’s not bothering her.
@@TheWorkingRetrievers same! Pit bulls can be amazing service animals, as can most breeds. Being a service dog handler, it scares me that people bring attack dogs in store😰
I had a service dog who was a pit bull and he was the sweetest and calmest dog, but sadly people faking service dogs like in the video means I got harassed often over my dog being in public even though he was very well behaved and doing nothing wrong. I had been kicked out of places for my service dog being a pit bull, and its cause stupid people do stupid things with their dogs and give others a bad image.
Could be wrong here but I genuinely do not believe for one second that's a trained attack dog. Look how calm it is, if she really did such a great job to make him attack on command but still be chill as fuck, she'd also be able to teach it focus. Pretty sure she just said that trying to scare the woman in the cart
Honestly, I wonder if they were lying (about the attack dog part. Obviously the dog wasn't a service dog) That dog did not seem like an attack dog to me. He seemed friendly and easy going, not watchful and alert. Additionally, pit bulls were never bred to be guard dogs. I'm not even sure if that dog was an actual pit bull. He might have been part American bulldog.
The pit one one seems like a personal issue. I have a pit mix service dog and he’s VERY well behaved and has NEVER shown aggression. He has off days. They are still dogs. Zeus will sometimes sniff lower shelves but with a quick correction, he’s back on track. A pitbull can STILL BE A GREAT SERVICE DOG!!!!
I have an ESA for my anxiety, she's mostly there just to keep me company during anxiety attacks when I'm HOME ALONE, when there's no one else around to comfort me like my parents, she's sweet as pie with people but reactive towards other dogs, (she's never attacked or bitten anyone, just barks) so much so that when we're walking her we have to cross the street when another dog comes by just so they won't see each other. ESAs don't have public access rights, and are not task trained. (COMPLETELY different from a service dog) I would NEVER take her into a non pet friendly/service dog only place because I know better than to put ACTUAL service dogs and their handlers in danger. My point is, if your animal helps you, then it's an ESA. So in a sense, ALL pets are emotional support animals. Your relationship is between you and your pet only. I got my dog registered so people would take ME more seriously, not my dog. You don't need fancy registration papers, to take it everywhere or try to pass it off as a service dog in order to "prove" that it's an ESA because only YOU can know the help it provides you. It's important to make a very clear distinction between ESAs and service animals, while still acknowledging how important ESAs are to some people. Tl:dr don't confuse a fake service dog with an ESA, Us RESPONSIBLE ESAs owners are fed up with fake service dogs and people not knowing the difference too.
Omg that's terrible! The last time I flew an airport employee injured my service dog and had the galls to tell me that I shouldn't have the right to travel with her because THE EMPLOYEE wasn't trained to handle the situation. SHE HARMED MY DOG and yet believes that to be my fault for traveling period. I wish we had less people like her working with the public and less dogs like the one you saw in public.
that "service dog" clip with it at the zoo n barking at the dolphins ! I saw that on the snapchat spotlight n they racked up over $2,000 dollars on it . my blood was boiling cuz they pretty much got paid for faking a service dog for entertainment . I'm so glad more people are seeing that clip tho
I know a guy with a fake service dog. Fortunately, I don't run into the jerk very often. One time, though, I was in a restaurant eating while he was there. His so-called service dog kept coming over to my table to beg food. That's a pet, not a service dog.
The lady in the weelchair was in the wrong. Even tho the service dog was a fake she seemed to only had a problem because it was a pitbull saying that these kinds of dogs attack people all the time and then she followed and harassed them after they walked away
Walmart is private property and can prohibit photography. Failing to leave when told to is trespassing. The store can make her get out of their motorized cart and huff it back to her car.
What Dom (Service Dog Paws) forgot is when a health inspector was to walk into a business and see untrained Service animals running around and doing dumb things he/she can have that business shut down
I'm about to throw hands with some people. The Walmart situation? Yes, the two people were in the wrong, but that doesn't mean that they have a bad dog. Pit bulls are so intelligent and just as valid as any other breed of dog out there.
@@zodiaccorpses 2:55 I agree with you. It’s absolutely wrong for people that bring dogs in and they bark and lunge and act aggressive but if the dog has done absolutely nothing wrong, why go out of your way to cause a confrontation just to prove to people that there dog is better than yours! Super petty and annoying!
Things have gotten stupid in society as some individuals rights now overtake societal rights. You are not the service dog police because you have a service dog. It’s not your business, call the police if you want it dealt with.
Anyone else more upset at how Walmart employees were handling it though? I understand that the lady in the cart was harassing them by constantly following them and repeating that's not a service dog. And it does appear to be a fake plus to make it worse the "team's" reply to her was it's an attack dog. Which confirms it's not a service dog. But my issue is how that employee was just somewhat ignoring the fact that it was a fake by saying "it's none of their business" This is the only time where I would side with the cart lady because it is their business to know ,as Walmart's staff, if the dog is a legitimate service dog because they don't allow pet's since they sell food and it's a health hazard to have dogs in a grocery store unless it's a service dog that it trained to focus only on its handler. But I obviously can see why people are upset at how this lady went about reporting the fake service dog. I'm just more upset at how Walmart handled the situation.
But you can't ask someone for their proof of the dog being a service dog. Right? So then how could they say "it is not a service dog" to the person bringing the dog inside?
@@BioLivbanon you can ask what they're trained to do, but if a service dog clearly has no training (being aggressive, easily distracted, won't listen to it's owner, hard to control) then it's not a service dog. Service dogs by definition have to be heavily trained.
Not ones you're allowed to request or demand. It's literally the letter from your doctor, which is HIPPA protected. According to the ADA, they MAY NOT request or require documentation AND beyond being under control of the handler they MAY NOT request or require that the service animal demonstrate its tasks. The ONLY thing they are allowed to ask is: "Is this a service animal?" "For what task(s) is it trained?" In regards to the latter question, no more detail need be given beyond "My dog is trained to help respond to symptoms/mitigate challenges associated with my disability." They MAY NOT further inquire about the name and/or nature of your disability.
Which is a problem because people know about the 2 questions. They lie all the time and just because they answer them correctly they get to go in. Most people are afraid to kick these fake service animals out from fear of getting sue. @@GalXZ42081
Service dog registration and why it won't work in the USA Now you think we not only should have to go to the doctor for a RX for a service dog but go to a licensed trainer then go to a new government agency for the special vest or tag for the service dog? There's already too few legitimate service dog trainers out there now. Any vest or id tags will get forged at any rate. I mean there's fake passports and drivers licenses. ----------------- 1] unfortunately that would make it harder for service dog handlers. In order to implement these things, they would first have to make the PROFESIONAL training of service dogs more uniform. There would need to be trainers in every us city or town. As all disabilities are different even with the same exact health issues making a one size fits all impossible. Each service dog is already trained for a spific person and their health issues. --------- Like a standardized test that's not going to work as every disibility is different and even the many people who have the same disibility will have different symptoms at different levels and severity. ------- 2] They would have to eradicate OWNER training and make only program and professionally trained service dogs legit. -- That would take the ability to gain a service dog from so many people who need them. If I needed a service dog I couldn't afford 20k plus for a trainer and another 20k plus for a program dog. ------ Instead of making it harder for disabled people businesses need to better educate themselves. They need to learn that IDs and Certificates aren't legitimate, that an ESA don't get public access and what actually constitutes kicking a team out. --- There's ways to tell real service dogs from the fakes. First ask the two questions that are legal. ----- Q. What type of inquiries can be made about the use of a service animal? --- A. To determine if an animal is a service animal, a public entity or a private business may ask TWO questions: ------ 1) Is this animal required because of a disability? 1a] so the answer should be yes I need this service dog for my disabilities or disibility -------- 2) What work or task has this animal been trained to perform. 2a] s/he is a guide dog It's trained to alert It's a mobility aide [These are just examples of answers.] -----, These inquires may not be made if the need for the service animal is obvious (e.g., the dog is guiding an individual who is blind or is pulling a person’s wheelchair.) ---- A public entity or private business may not ask about the nature or extent of an individual’s disability. -- They also may NOT require documentation, such as proof that the animal has been certified, trained or licensed as a service animal, or require the animal to wear an identifying vest. ----- The second way to tell it's a legitimate service dog is to watch it work and by that I mean ---- Is it focused mostly on the owner Is it using the restroom inside the store or whatever. -- Is it barking for something OTHER than it's tasks like getting help -- Is it going up to strangers for a purpose OTHER than getting help-- Where Service Animals Can Go Generally, service animals are allowed to be with their person, even in places that don’t allow pets. For example, service dogs can go into: • Restaurants • Shops • Hospitals • Schools • Hotels ---- EXAMPLE: A restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating. A woman arrives at the restaurant with her service dog and asks to sit inside. The restaurant cannot require the woman to dine outside because of her service dog. -- The ADA also applies to certain types of housing, including: • Housing at public and private universities • Public housing programs run by state, county, and city governments • Emergency shelters -- www.ada.gov/topics/service-animals/
Walmart can ask to stop recording but you can immediately ask for management. It is considered private property because Walmart owns said property. It would be like some one recording in your home, they can but the moment you ask them to stop it has to end. As for the attack dog, the employee should of gotten a supervisor.
I’m really pissed at the lady in the power scooter. The “Nutter” comment was not only rude and disparaging but ignorant. Bully breeds are trained exclusively by some companies to partner with Veterans. They are saving two lives at once. I owe my life to my boy. A debt that I can never repay.
Thank you so very much for having these videos I knew the mental support animals weren't service animals and I perfectly support real service animals which can be a dog or a miniature horse properly trained.
I think the woman in the motorized carts issue was it was a pitbull... yes I would he irritated that it was an attack dog but she continued to follow them throughout the store and harass them... just go to the store manager and complain, no need to follow them and make a scene and asking for papers... from what I know that person just hates pitbulls with a passion and that seems to be the motivator here... I love bully breeds personally, but I understand why people don’t. Just be respectful all around tho... leave if it’s that much of an issue
That dog 100% was not a pit bull, and clearly not an "attack dog". Real personal protection dogs are just as well trained as professionally trained service dogs. Just without the tasks. Also, PPD don't attack on command. Part of their training si to know when and when not to protect.
Thank you for posting these videos. Sadly, I feel like this is way more common lately. Because during and after covid I saw a lot of people with “emotional support dogs” walking into stores and the dogs would seem aggressive. But since they had service dog vests on, no employees ever approached them. And these people would say “it’s illegal to question the authenticity of a service dog” on the rare chance they were confronted. Just last week I went into a Walmart to buy eggs and a young lady had a “service dog” with her, and while it was a cute dog; I think it wasn’t legitimate. It was barking, growling, pulling it’s owner around, and it went potty on the floor. I’ve been doing some minor research because I’m now disabled and qualify for a service dog myself. And I’m glad people like you show me what to look out for when something like this happens. A lot of people are non-confrontational so I’m glad some people are standing up for those who can’t speak up for themselves. Thank you.
@@romantic_hippieand it shouldn't be. If you are completely legit then you will have no problem showing documentation for your actual service dog. I agree 100%
Regardless, if it’s a service dog or not, if it’s aggressive and lunges and barks, it should be put out of the store! But some people take it to another level even if the dog isn’t doing anything wrong they just want everyone to know their dog is a certified service dog!
@@romantic_hippie But what would that be anyone else’s business? If the dog absolutely doesn’t make a sound when he’s very well behaved, what is it any of your business to walk up and ask??
The girl that was harassing the lady with the pit bull was bothering me so much because she had no business to follow the people around the store harassing them specially sense the dog was behaving itself wasn't pulling or harming anything or anyone. And you could tell she was judging the dog based of it's breed "pit bull" if you have a dog that's trained and won't distract service dogs you shouldn't have a reason to harass them.
I'd like to add that who's to say that that lady's harassment didn't cause the pitty to completely lose focus? My SDIT (they have PA rights where I live) would have had to be corrected multiple times and possibly removed from the property for a break if she were to harass me like that. I would absolutely request police involvement. Not to mention people like her are the reason I carry a camera on me. It is also illegal (or at least it is around here) to interfere with SD training and tasking which is exactly what this would be to me, especially if I'm busy having a panic attack during a training run courtesy of an entitled senior.
I’m sorry but this UA-cam chick at Walmart is the worse kind of person in my opinion. I mean the way she handled the situation is probably the most confrontational way of going about it.
She’s so confrontational, and harassing ppl. Doesn’t make you above the respect of others, regardless. Ma’am mind your business. I get it but going about it allllll wrong.
I agree. These fake educators are insufferable know-it-alls. She is also a negligent dog owner. The nails of the dog are way too long. Had I been there, I would have told her.
plus her dog also seemed to struggle she kept having to tell her dog to stay (not very service-like) But also the other people do need to know that bringing in a pet is wrong she just should have sked them nicely or gone and gotten real help.
Sadly, there is nothing the facilities can do in these situations, they are only allowed to ask if it’s a service dog and what tasks it is trained to perform, both of which can be lied about, and asking anything more is illegal
We are camping at a RV site. Went to take the trash the other day.. next thing I know I’m being growled and lunged at (one was a pitbull and the other was a Doberman). They both had the red service dog vest on and the lady walking them could barely control them.
That first video with the reactive husky made me so mad. That poor girl was obviously crying and very scared, I just wanted to hug her and hurl something at that other person
The fake service dogs are like fake handicap parking passes that also put the public a risk. Service dogs wouldn’t be in the basket in the produce section. They also shouldn’t bark at my son who has adhd and moves a lot. This bothers me so much. I’ve taught my son not to approach dogs, but he still moves a lot, which puts him at risk when people bring untrained dogs into Walmart. *sigh*
I'm so tired of people advocating for pitbulls, acting like they're just another type of dog, and have NO elevated risk of unprovoked, and VICIOUS attacks on unsuspecting, vulnerable people every day, in numbers that FAR outpace ANY other breed of dog out there. People who try to destigmatize this breed are doing more harm than good to the animals, because they're causing uneducated people to drop their guard in public, and even worse, take pity on the breed and adopt one into their home as part of some crusade to devilify them in the public eye, and in the process they end up putting their families and neighbors at risk! And when one of these seemingly random, unprovoked attacks happen, and their beloved family pet freaks out and latches onto their 5 year old Daughter's face, permanently disfiguring, disabling, or KILLING them, they are the first to go on TV crying in interviews, talking about how, "he was such a loving family pet for so many years! We just can't believe he would DO something like this!" And they post photos of their child's face looking like ground hamburger meat to Facebook along with a GoFundMe link to help "save their little angel get the medical help she needs just to live a normal life again" and the one thing they NEVER do is take personal responsibility in these interviews, and admit they were WRONG.. and advocate and urge people to NEVER invite a dangerous breed of dog into their family home around their children. They never say, "people tried to warn us, but we didn't listen, because we thought we knew better because of the 20 minutes worth of "research" we did in that Pro-Pitbull Facebook Group that one afternoon. We saw all those short video montages set to emotional music, with clips of Pitbulls being gentle with babies, and we thought, well that settles it! Let's get the one breed of dog that is most notorious for randomly tearing children's faces off! If you want to know which breeds of dog to NOT bring into your home with small kids, just go to your local Children's Hospital and talk to any of the ER nurses and ask them how many small children are brought in each year that were mauled by their family dog, and then ask which breed is most responsible for these attacks, you will find hands down without hesitation that they will say it was an pit bull (or some variation of one) and that it is USUALLY a family pet (not the stray pit down the street that was abandoned after being abused and use for illegal dog fighting.. that's a myth you hear a lot that it's not their fault, and the cases of unprovoked attacks you hear about give pitbulls a bad name because they are disproportionately bred and used for dogfighting by gangs and bad people, who then abandon them which means there it a lot of traumatized pitbulls roaming the streets, yada yada. That's just not true because the small percentage of these dogs that are still used for fighting don't get abandoned, they usually get killed in the ring and dumped on a dumpster or vacant lot by these scumbag people, they don't just retire vicious fighting dogs by releasing them to roam the alleyways looking for unsuspecting neighborhood children to eat.
SOME people with service dogs are horrendous. Who are they to tell someone else they don’t have a service dog and Who the f do they THINK they know to tell someone else they don’t have a service dog. And then to tell someone else they need to leave a public place?! Who the f are they? Ridiculous!
As a sd handler myself I’m sorry but that lady was harrassing. Don’t follow people faking service dogs to harrass them. Just educate and if they do not want to be educated just keep your distance and move on its not worth harrassing people. We cannot control what others do the best we can do as handlers is educate people.
An “attack dog” is not a trait for a service dog... I have a Doberman service dog now and he was never trained to attack, but Im sure if needed he would protect me. But attack dog is not a service dog.
This is true, but the person harassing the dog owner didn't owe them an answer anyway, and the mouthy trash doing the harassing was on about pitbull stereotypes. Saying "attack dog" struck me in this context the same as "Get the fuck away from us".
Places are too afraid of social media backlash that they will not question anyone coming in a store with a dog. I just avoid these people when I come across them. My dog keeps me safe and I keep him safe. We are a team.
To say it's a service dog,ask for certificate of service,NOT an attack dog- unbelievable,a liability on the part of Walmart for letting a dog in for that reason😮😮
I’m blind and I met up with one of my other friends who is blind at a mall near us. My friend had an older lady she made friends with in her apartment building drive her and she ended up staying with us at the mall. The lady had her little bichon frise whith her. She kept going back-and-forth between he’s a service dog and he’s an emotional support dog and my friend said she has papers for him if anyone asks. I was seriously tempted to confront this lady because the dog was not even remotely focused on her. He kept coming up to me when I would have anything in my hands and she wasn’t even telling him to leave it or to come back to her. I would ignore him because you’re not supposed to touch service dogs or pay them any attention. I’m glad I had a mask on because I probably wouldn’t have looked very happy with the situation. I am the one who caught him following some kids that were running around a store, and he didn’t even come back the first time she told him to. Even the store employees were giving him attention and she was not telling them that’s not OK. He didn’t bark or make any noise, he just was not behaving like a service dog should. I still haven’t told my friend how I feel about it because I don’t want her to think I’m being mean to her friend, but I think I should. Next time I see them I will try to muster up the courage to say emotional support animals are not allowed public access. I don’t have a guide dog so I don’t have any cards to give anybody, so that’s really all I can do and give them recommendations for these UA-cam channels.
So... I guess there's such thing as ,,fake meetups" ? Honestly... that is sad... - But I would've said something and if they said something to me about it and caused an argument, I would've just said ,,I am not gonna be part of this, goodbye." and leave.
you never follow the fakes, because you are putting yourself and your dog in danger. and this person that followed the fake pit bull service dog was a bad move. go to a manager and say something. or if the dog is trying to get at your dog say something and then go to a manager to report the issue.
I agree. When I see a fake service dog I usually say ,,Thanks for putting my life at danger" then walk away. I don't get close to the fakes. and whatever they say back at me, I just walk away so I don't cause a seen. I usually record everywhere I go so I have proof.
Absolutely Insane, People with disabilities Depend Or Need Support From the service dogs, as Notmal people Mistreat The use of service dogs To "Attack on demend" And Use them For Whatever they please I'm so glad people make this type of videos to educate people
as to the Last Clip, She should NOT have confronted the people with the pitbull, she should have just gone straight to management, her harassment of them is why the calls got called on her/she was asked to leave
Its so annoying to me when people are like "my esa 'sd' goes everywhere with me" like gurl- my family has a few esas Guess where they are when we go to hellmart? At home Like bestie it really isnt that hard
Honestly the woman who has the service dog named Mya needs to leave people alone. She not only CONTINUES the drama, she immediately throws around accusations and try’s to get people kicked out even when they said they have a supposed EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL, as well as her asking what the dog was helping with which she has no right to ask
I have 2 dogs and we always check to see if they are allowed to go in any store or restaurant. Thank goodness to you for taking action against these dog owners who think they are above the law. Thank you! Thank you!
I just want to say that while (and this is only in some states) there is no law stating it is illegal to film in a store, there is company policy. However, that woman specifically calling her dog an attack dog… service dogs do not attack they alert. He’s not a service dog and that lady is right that it is their business and they should be asking. They want to enforce the no recording policy they need to enforce all policies (and laws because it is illegal to fake a service dog)
I've never even owned a Pitbull but they are one of my favorite dog breeds. They are just so damn cute! I've owned a Westland Terrier (Dont have many memories of him, I was young), and 2 King Charles Cavalier Spaniels that died a little over a year ago. I miss them a lot, but I'm hoping to get a Mini Aussie (American Shepherd) soon and been watching a lot of videos about Dogtraining. I went hella off topic, sorry lol.
4:00 idk if the person she was talking to was a manager or employee, but i have to say as an employee we avoid confrontation as much as possible, especially after covid making people more hostile. The best thing to do is tell a manager what is going on because they will usually deal with it. Trust me some/most of us hate it when people bring their pets/fake service dogs in but the reason why we dont say anything is because of how these people react.
On top of that, my previous bosses have said that the reason the ‘grunt workers’ (customer services) can only ask if it is a service dog is because if we were to slip up and ask the wrong question (even though most of us know the two questions allowed), then our workplace could be liable for refusing someone with a legitimate SD service. So, we are to call the managers if we see a dog misbehaving (pooping/peeing, lunging at people, etc) and they will come out and ask the questions.
BOTH us managers and employees don’t give af. We don’t get paid enough to handle personal petty conflicts you have with other customers. We are there to handle merchandise and do store related stuff. If you’re inquiry doesn’t have to do with merchandise then carry on or call the authorities. We may put on a fake smile and pretend to be concerned but we are not. This is why I’m so happy to finally be out of retail smh.🙄
I've had where people demand i take their "service" dogs in the back of the ambulance on calls. Only ever had one real service dog on a call and it was so behaved nobody minded it.
what's crazy is where i live in California, i have never encountered a fake service dog in any stores, so it's kinda bizarre when i see videos of so many fakes
I don't like fake service dogs, but this lady is just rude. She needs to learn to mind her own business. One of these people might decide they don't like her tone. I bet that poor dog is embarrassed for her. He has more shame than her and he drinks from the toilet.
As a walmart employee i just wanted to say we are not allowed to talk to people with animals under any circumstances. Only management are allowed to approach a person with an animal.
Some people think that if they put a harness on their dog that says, “Service Dog” then their dog is automatically a Service Dog. Or because they bought a fake service dog license.
Honestly a lot of the handlers in this video are just as wrong as the fake ones because if you see a fake you turn tf around and don’t approach it. If you approach a person with a fake you are putting your dog in danger and if anything happens that is your fault at that point
I’m like anyone else and I hate when people bring regular dogs and pretend them to be service animals but the lady at Walmart the dog did not lunch it did not bark it did nothing wrong and the lady with the service dog had to make sure she spoke up in front of everyone and caused a scene and that is also wrong. If the dog is doing absolutely nothing, then you shouldn’t cause a confrontation.
Wow I never expected one of our encounters to be on UA-cam 😳
(We are the first clip with the husky)
for anyone who wanted to know the cops where called, no action was taken “we can only take action if the dog physically hurt your dog” is what the sheriff said to me,
I hope the cops coming in stoped her from doing that in the future, people are annoying something that might seem a little scary to someone can cause a whole big thing for someone else,
I’m scared to death when I hear keys or tags because we have almost been attacked 3 times..
I understand !
My Mom saw your video too !
We both got really angry at the part where the owner said your dog was ,,misbehaving"
Your pup did amazing as what I saw !
I also get panicked when I hear keys or tags too. don't worry. ❤
I hope your okay now ! things like this are very scary.. especially when the dog barks.
Do you think you will be uploading anything to your UA-cam channel?
I really felt bad for you! you sounded so nervous and scared. Sorry that happened to you!
I'm so sorry that happened to you! You sounded so scared, my heart went out to you. x
@@TheWorkingRetrievers yes I’m so proud of how well roo did with that! She has a lot of trust in me so she was able to keep her back to the dog and not look back when it barked at her and alerted non stop!
Love how the lady said “yours shouldn’t either” like umm my dog is a real service dog doing her job!! She did amazing DPT and guided me out as soon as my body was able to walk, I’m so proud of the way she handled it and has handled similar experiences! I hate how we have to keep worrying about this happening tho...
I hate that we get scared of “dog sounds” and it triggers severe reaction in us...thank you for sharing this important info on UA-cam and spreading awareness!
That husky was more than a fake service dog, it is an untrained dog. I see it so often with huskies. With proper training they can be amazing dogs
Its obviously a fake service dog and untrained. Properly trained actual service dogs wouldnt bark at another dog.
For me it’s a major compliment when someone says, “oh, I didn’t know there was a guide dog there” even if I’m standing inline for the checkout at a store.
My dog behavs like this while he's a service dog in training. But I put clear sign on him that "Service Dog in Training" and "Access NOT Required" and never take him into dog banned places.
@@ericbvolkman Real service dog can fail. Failing incident doesn't mean it is fake, but is a valid reason to kick it out of the place.
@@finalcranefall6201I have a service dog in training patch, and a do not pet patch on my dog. Generally speaking, folks don't know he's in class, or in a store unless they see him. He's a good boy, well trained, he just has this anxiousness we seem to be plateauing on.
I’m sorry, but the woman in the motorized cart pissed me off, following the person, asking for papers, etc. both woman were in the wrong
I agree.
If I was being followed and questioned so persistently by a rude person I'd probably tell you my dog is an attack dog in hopes of finishing my trip in peace.. Besides as a member of the public (the person on cart) I would not owe her a explanation of my dogs duty/tasks... Her biggest problem seemed it was because it was a pitbull type dog, not he lack of training alone. 😓
@@AddisonC1987 Yep. she was a pitbull hater.
The lady in the cart chasing after the Pit Bull was awful. What gives her the right to decide whether that dog is a Service Dog or not? My SD likes to look around but refocuses when I need him to. Does that make him any less legitimate? No it doesn’t. I would hate to have someone following me and my SD around recording me.
@@ruftsrescuedogshow1850 Yes, but the dog was going up to people and sniffing people, and the owner had no control.
she said that the dog was an attack dog and under the ADA service dog's CANNOT be attack dog's.
The dog was FAKE.. but the lady in the cart was in the wrong too by harassing and chasing the other young lady around too.
The lady with the dog was leaving.. so I see no issue at that point but both of them were in the wrong. and the dog was fake.
I am NOT saying that because it's a pitbull. Pitbull's are amazing breeds, but the dog was a fake service dog.. and if it was in training... they should have put a vest on with a in training patch on.
I have a service dog IN TRAINING and I've been accused of having a "fake" multiple times for him looking at another dog or another person etc (which I redirect every time). This is because he is in training and does have slip ups from time to time, but I ALWAYS correct him or redirect his behavior, he's marked as IN TRAINING and I live in Colorado (where service dogs in training are protected under the same laws). He's made a lot of progress, is very well behaved, and I am currently going through a 2 year training program with him (we're 1.5 years into it). He has PA because he is 100% under my control.
They are allowed to look at people and other dogs, just not allowed to lunge, bark, whine, fail to redirect. That's on the public access test. Providing they are under control of the handler and up to date on shots, Service Dogs in training have the same access rights as fully trained Service Dogs.
@@GalXZ42081thank you for saying this, I didn’t know 😊 I think fake spotting is lame lol
Why do you need a service dog?
@oneechannel3366 It's problematic af. There's people out here trying to spot "fakes" that don't even know the ADA laws, harassing people with actual Service Animals. None of us are obligated to provide any proof or satisfy a strangers' intrusive curiosity, and distracting someone's Service Animal while they're on focus/task can cause them to miss an alert and present a very real and immediate danger to the handler.
As to owners and employees of any establishment you are in with your Service Animal, they are only allowed to ask two questions:
"Is this a Service Animal?"
and
"What task(s) is he/she trained to perform?"
They may NOT ask for documentation, require that the animal demonstrate it's tasks, or inquire as to the nature and details of your disability.
They can have a Service Dog Team removed regardless of authenticity if the animal is not within the handlers' control, there are not housebroken, or can not be redirected.
Agreed.
I hope people eventually realise that emotional support dogs and service dogs aren't the same
well they are both pests
Every dog is an emotional support animal lol not the same as a trained service dog. Bottom line
@@clivebaxter6354how are they pests?!
Folks can survive without dogs period
They know the difference but they refuse to acknowledge it because it would take away their privileged mindset.
The first clip breaks my heart.
Me too.. 💔
I was honestly shocked our video was in this! The cops where called and nothing came out of it sadly
@@Roo_theservicedog That's disappointing. Did the police look at the video?
If you ever encounter someone who says their dog is an attack dog AND a service dog, you have every right to tell them "then your dog is a living walking contradiction" and if they ask how or says that's not true, you just tell them that SD are NOT allowed to attack ANYONE! Dog, kid, adult, doesn't matter, SD DO NOT ATTACK! Thus it is impossible for them to be attack dogs.
You would be better off quoting the law. Its SS 35.139 Direct Threat. No Service Dog can be aggressive or trained in protection---EVER.
I once saw a police TV show where some woman was making up a million excuses for everything, including why she couldn't sit in the cop car, and she was like 'I've got claustrophobia.... and agorophobia' and the cop was like 'oh well they must clash terribly!' 🤣
I fully believe you can have both but it was just funny the way the cop replied lol
@@lailahepburnandmischka I love this!! 🤭
They might not be. If you are not a law enforcement officer or store employee, that person can tell you whatever they like, or nothing at all, because they owe you neither answer nor explanation.
"It's an attack dog" would be a pretty clear way of telling someone "Mind your business and leave me alone, we're not looking to be friendly." Doesn't make it true. 🤷
@@GalXZ42081no that’s a clear way of threatening someone, which isn’t ok. Why the hell would you say you have an attack dog? To scare people?
Oh jeez, that first clip was really scary ;-; Hope the handler was ok, that one nearly gave me a secondhand panic attack lol. The one with the lady in the motorized wheelchair was insanely annoying, it’d be her fault at that point if the dog attacked her. Regardless of the dog obviously being a fake, she was absolutely in the wrong to follow them around and harass them. Just report the dog/call the cops if the dog attacked yours or is interfering, and stay as far away from them as possible to keep your dog safe. Tailing them and escalating the situation like that is literally just begging for trouble. Idk if she had a dog with her or not, but if you have your own service dog, your dog’s safety is absolutely more important than views or confronting someone with a fake, regardless of how ignorant, rude, or annoying the people faking a service dog are. Some people drive me nuts smh
I agree with you.
She went way too far. and even if the dog was fake, I would record but then move on with my life. I wouldn't keep harassing them, Plus they were leaving so at that point It wasn't a big deal.
We where the team in the first clip and I called the cops nothing came out of it sadly :/ just a warning annoyed they didn’t do anything when clearly it was not a real service dog and acting like that..
@@TheWorkingRetrieversI know this comment is old, but I’m gonna go ahead and disagree with you. It’s a really good thing that she followed them around and recorded them because it pressured them to leave the store. Her “attack dog” could have done who knows what to who knows who if it were left in the store for longer. While she might have been “annoying” (which honestly, good!) she was not in the wrong what so ever.
*"Idk if she had a dog with her or not." She did. If you had watched the whole clip there you would have seen the dog. So she totally has a service dog 💯% (the one recording that is and the dog has a bright pink vest. Very easy to see.).*
It did give me a panic attack I had to take some minutes to calm down with my essa. I really freaked out. I hate it.
I hate that people are so low as to lie about their dog being a service dog, just to be able to bring it into public places. It detracts from people who have real service dogs, and has caused the discrimination against real service dogs, everywhere.
But also WHY are people so freaking desperate to have their untrained animals around them 24/7! Especially in grocery stores and restaurants.
It messed up it's like a regular thing now. I hate people .
Get a life lady.
When in reality there is only the AKC..
Registry
Absolutely no certification or requirements for said animal needed in USA
My grandma has a registered ESA long haired chihuahua and says it’s a service dog. Drives me nuts. I won’t take her anywhere where dogs aren’t allowed
Dude same! Especially as someone who’s currently attempting to get a PSD of my own it pisses me off so badly. Her dog is a registered ESA but he has a whole SD best that she bought off Walmart for him. She takes him everywhere with her and he’s aggressive as fuck, like this dog will bite you for just standing there which makes it even worse.
ESAs are not Service Dogs/Animals. And nearly any dog that is toted in a purse or cart can’t be a SA…
She most likely got her ass scammed with "registering" her dog as an ESA. Good riddance.
No such thing as a registered esa.
Exactly with an actual Dr's note?
Just wanted to note not all service dogs are leashed some need to be off leash to task
I know. (:
@@TheWorkingRetrievers idk why so many ppl think disabilities are always physical!
@@Moon_DoesVRexactly!!
I’m glad that there are videos like this, more people need to understand that bringing fake service dogs into places is not okay and is illegal, and as someone with a Chihuahua SD, it makes me so scared that people bring their dogs into stores illegally because of how small my SD is, he could be attacked and gravely injured! It’s so dangerous and I hope that this issue can get more light.
That is exactly why I post video's like this !
I try to educate people about service dogs and also show how harmful it can be when they bring their pet into non pet friendly stores.

Yea fck that lady. Then she continues to say pitbulls can’t be service animals or they have a certain type of owner
She was a Karen and very potbelly stupid. Most pitties are babydolls
That wasn’t “harassing people and their dogs”, that’s pointing out that someone is breaking the law.
I don’t like the pit bull one because the person was basically following them and harassing the fake service dog handler but I have to admit when I was a young SD handler I would kind of follow the fake service dogs BUT I would stay at lest 10 feet away from them I would never get 4 feet close to the fake service dog handler. I never said anything to the fake SD handler. I don’t do it any more I usually just stay a good 6 feet away from the fake service dog handler and say “it is illegal to fake a service dog” or something like that. I know I was a bad gal when I was younger I would sometimes sneak out but I mean I was twelve so give me a break! 😅
I sometimes say something to the fake service dog handlers, I say ,,It's illegal to fake a service dog" then I would move on and ignore what they say back.
@Kobe The Service Goldie, yep! I am glad you do that and don’t pitch a fight. Some fake SD handlers like want I fight and when they do I pull out a Ada law card and say “look at my dog then look at your dog. Do you see how stupid you look.” There faces are like “👁👄👁”

Yes ! ❤ It's the owners fault most the time !
Pitbulls are some of the most loving and devoted dogs on earth. At one time, they were classed as pound for pound the smartest and strongest dogs in the world. In my opinion the biggest problem with Pitbulls is an ignorant owner. If not trained properly, any dog can be aggressive.
The lady in the electric cart at Walmart went way too far, IMO. By following the couple with a white and brown pitt bull, constantly arguing with them or firing questions at them, is harassment. The couple was in the wrong for having their pet in a non pet friendly place. But, that doesn't give go cart lady license to be a looney.
I agree.
Not to mention she seems to think "papers" exist 🙄
@@AndersenE27 that was exactly what I was thinking. I can understand when people do say something if they think it’s a fake service dog, but not following them around, talking about it being a “dangerous breed,” and clearly not being educated on service animals or their paperwork that doesn’t exist.
@@itsShelbiLouise i thought i was the only one who thought that
@@itsShelbiLouise the dog she had a problem with was not professional, but he was clearly well behaved.
pit bulls have a _human problem_ . they're just _dogs_ who are more likely to be adopted by ppl who call them "attack dogs" & are more likely to be abused than any other breed. it's very sad. he's a good boy, he wasn't a trained professional, but he was a well behaved boy.
I love when 2 Karen’s get into an argument.
Hahaha 😂😂💙
@@TheWorkingRetrievers Catfight.
The lady in the motorized cart really pissed me off. Yes, the dog clearly wasn't a service dog (though, as far as fake SDs go, he wasn't as poorly behaved as many I've seen), but that doesn't give her the right to harass those people without the intent to educate. Had she approached them with the intent of explaining ADA law and explaining what service dogs do, that may have been different, but she clearly had no interest in educating and was only concerned with the "dangerous pitbull" that was in the store. Them calling their dog a personal attack dog didn't help the situation, however many dogs are trained in bitework and it's possible they were genuinely confused and thought a personal protection dog was considered a service dog. Both parties were in the wrong, but if the lady had approached the woman with the dog in a more polite manner, maybe there would be one less owner who thinks their dog qualifies as an SD.
I agree.
Both of them were in the wrong.
and the dog was leaving at the time so I see no issue at that point.
It is possible that the owners didn’t understand what a medical service dog and a personal-service dog is, I’ve heard people call the dogs they trained in sport personal protection personal-service dogs.
It is a dog that provides a service, That’s why many call them personal-service dogs.
They really need to learn the difference between them though, if that lady would have explained to them the ada law it would have probably fixed that issue. And the dog most likely isn’t a pit lol. American pit bull terriers are game dogs bred for hunting or taken by dog fighting rings for fighting.
No scars so not a fighting dog, and the dog isn’t showing much alertness or prey drive so most likely not a hunting dog.
It’s probably an American Staffordshire Bull terrier or American bulldog mutt, those dogs are called pits, buuut if you know what you’re looking for you can tell it isn’t the same. Amstaff was bred for the show ring since the akc refused to recognize the American pit bull terrier as the American bulldog.
I’mma leave it at that because this has nothing to do with the video oops.
TLDR American pit bull terrier history is interesting.
@@maggiethedruid9010 There’s ways to tell if a dog has prey drive.
Especially if they are legit bred dogs or working line dogs, APBT is a very proud built dog and is on alert for their owners to protect their pack, so is American bully.
If it’s American bully they show their alertness a bit less from what I’ve seen as personal protection dogs, and do have a very bulldog face and snout. That is the breed’s main features now a days.
@@maggiethedruid9010 being on heel is a command. They aren’t made to keep on heel because it’s constantly going to be working a that just frustrates the dog so people only have it as a command until they say break.
The woman in the motor wheelchair was obnoxious. The dog did nothing at all to her. She just didn’t like it’s breed. However, the moment the woman said that she has papers then that it’s both a service and attack dog I could tell it was indeed a fake. Both suck here.
I have a pitbull service dog. I disliked it when she said "You know how Pitbull people are." to her husband.
Yeah! Like, I understand that she was concerned because the dog wasn’t a real service dog but literately following them around and asking for “registration” was major bull.
Fake service dogs with dolphins: *barks head off*
Real service dog: *does not care, just watches me be entertained but it swimming overhead
Unless it wasn’t working at the moment, owners are allowed to let there dogs have fun at some points
@@crystalgaming12 yes, but that's usually not while in places like that and the dog is out of the service dog harness. The harness is the dog's signal to be on duty.
@Charoke why do you care so much ? Honestly... are you so miserable that you have to focus on this . Get a life.
@@Charoke You speak for all service dogs, handlers, and trainers? Please share the regulation or law that says the harness is the dog's signal to be on duty. I'd like to have it for when I want to Karen dog handlers I don't know about dogs I don't know in circumstances I don't know.
@@dalepres1 I said usually. I cant speak for US laws as Im norwegian, but trained service dogs are usually trained to be on the job as the harness is on, and that they are free to be dogs off the harness. That's my experience from the online community aswell.
I appreciate what you’re doing here. It really ticks me off when I see fake service animals in stores and restaurants just because people want to have their pet everywhere with them. As a restaurant owner, we are really hamstrung by the law because once someone tells us it’s a service animal there isn’t much we can do. I wish we could ask them for some kind of license or training certificate to prove they’re a real service animal, but all we can do is take their word for it and people lie.
I am a vet with severe PTSD that uses a service dog to get around daily . This makes it hard on us .
Those people involved with the woman on the electric car were horrible people. I was blocked from their youtube for citing factual sources. They hate pit type dogs with a passion.
They blocked you ? Dang..-
yeah, Pitbull's are only bad if the owner treats them that way. it's the owners fault.
@@TheWorkingRetrievers Haha! Yeah. I bad mouthed their cited source, dogsbite.org.. It was founded and is run by yet another rabid pit hater. They inflate numbers, take things out of context, and just make up "facts" to suit their agenda of eradicating any pittie breed.
They REALLY hate my boy. He's half Sraffordshire and half Rottweiler. *GASP*.Smartest, easiest to train, friendliest, and most public friendly dog I've ever had. I've had dogs all of my fifty nine years.
@Jenna Voll Yes. I know. 💕
She also thinks "papers" are a thing 🤦♀️
Why do you think pitbulls are referred as "Nanny" dogs? Because they are loyal to kids. And they take care of children.
That lady in the Walmart seemed much more upset over the fact that it was a pit bull rather than it being a fake. She may have been right, but to follow someone like that is harassment. Go STRAIGHT to management. However, the dog wasn't exactly unfriendly, and didn't seem to be bothering anyone, so she really stepped out of line. Had it of been lunging, pulling excessively, showing signs of reactivity or aggression, that would have been a MAJOR difference, but it wasn't. As someone with a legit service dog, it's frustrating to see fakes, but it's even more frustrating to see discrinitory behavior, over a breed. Personally, my SD is mixed with pit. They're generally an amazing breed, when bred and raised right. Again, as correct as she was, it was still uncalled for, and to then pull the "I'm disabled" card to get her way, kinda made me mad. It puts others into bad light 😕
Yes I agree not to mention service dogs are not perfect I mean my service dog in training is worse then that dog. As soon as I seen the clip of the lady walking up to the pit I was already pissed, she was looking for a fight and it’s honestly disgusting.
I completely agree it was upsetting me to see that her main issue with the dog was that it was a pit my service dog is a pit and he is a fantastic loving and sweet dog many breeds of dogs can be aggressive not just pits the fact that some people attack the whole breed for that just irritates me
Yeah that aggravated me when she was saying they kill ppl this and that it’s disgusting
A lot of Karen's demanding other people's service dogs papers.
The people yelling at others and following people around the store are more distracting/anxiety inducing than the fake SD. I have a SDIT and someone YELLING at others like that would make my anxiety spike more than someone bringing their dogs into WALMART of all places. I'm not finished with the video yet but the only valid reaction I've seen is the first girl because that husky was actively barking at her dog and trying to get to it.
For real. My dog is in training as well, so he's not "perfectly" well behaved all the time. He gets a little overwhelmed at times, but we're working on it.
Honestly that lady in the motorized cart was ridiculous. Didn't seem like a real Service Dog but it wasn't causing a scene or acting aggressive or disturbing the peace. Not to mention the lady was clearly breed biased. I'm more afraid of this crazy lady than that dog!
Same !!
Thank you! She doesn't like pit bulls, that much is clear. Gross behavior
It also sets a precedence for anybody who wants to bring in their pets. It's illegal and gross to have a dog in a grocery and annoying after to have to try to maneuver around. You aren't allowed to drink and drive so what about if you aren't bothering anybody and behave nicely does that make it OK? Same logic!
That doesn't matter if it's not a service dog .It does not belong in Walmart
Personally I wouldn't want to be in a store with a pitbull that wasn't. People shouldn't have to augment their reality to suit your dog fetishes
The pitbull probably isnt a real service dog but the lady in the cart is just harassing them, the dog seems fine. They are both in the wrong obviously but the lady filming was absolutely ridiculous.
I agree.
Plot twist: The lady with the pit bull probably just said that he's an "attack dog" to get the stalking Karen to leave her alone.
Right 😂
also that ladies stutistic where wrong. pit bulls are born friendly and can revert back to being friendly. but still, that lady had no right to follow them she really should have gotten real help I'm kinda afraid of pitbulls and if they have no proof of training and I don't know the people I don't trust pitbulls because some owners really stink at owning them.
THAT PART. I occasionally walk my fiancé's PSD, who is protective of me, but not aggressive.
I was walking one day when a guy on the other side of the street from whom I did not perceive good energy or intent, took a few steps toward me and asked "Your dog isn't going to bite me is she?" To which I replied, not from over there she can't.
She would not have anyway, providing no physical violence ensued (not sure how she would react, as she hasn't been exposed to that), but I allowed him to believe she might should he fail to keep a respectful distance. 🤷🤷🤷
@@Orange_kitty_can_QuadThe problem is that people in public with their service dogs do not owe you proof of training and, beyond maintaining control of the animal, it is illegal for the owner of the establishment to request documentation or require that task training be demonstrated or otherwise verified.
@@Orange_kitty_can_Quadborn friendly? Lol you obviously have never been around dogs that weren't raised around people at all
They're actually born pretty vicious most dogs are
Bro these employees are so irresponsible. If I brought my guinea pig and said he was an emotional support animal they would kick me out, they should do the same for dogs smh.
Exactly.
The women in the electric cart has no right to harass that person. If she thinks it’s fake she should go to management and that’s it. And good call the police on her it’s non of her business because it’s not bothering her.
I agree.
The pit bull one scares me because service dogs should never be trained as attack dogs
I agree. I have nothing against Pitbull's though.
@@TheWorkingRetrievers same! Pit bulls can be amazing service animals, as can most breeds. Being a service dog handler, it scares me that people bring attack dogs in store😰
I had a service dog who was a pit bull and he was the sweetest and calmest dog, but sadly people faking service dogs like in the video means I got harassed often over my dog being in public even though he was very well behaved and doing nothing wrong. I had been kicked out of places for my service dog being a pit bull, and its cause stupid people do stupid things with their dogs and give others a bad image.
Could be wrong here but I genuinely do not believe for one second that's a trained attack dog. Look how calm it is, if she really did such a great job to make him attack on command but still be chill as fuck, she'd also be able to teach it focus.
Pretty sure she just said that trying to scare the woman in the cart
Honestly, I wonder if they were lying (about the attack dog part. Obviously the dog wasn't a service dog) That dog did not seem like an attack dog to me. He seemed friendly and easy going, not watchful and alert. Additionally, pit bulls were never bred to be guard dogs. I'm not even sure if that dog was an actual pit bull. He might have been part American bulldog.
The pit one one seems like a personal issue. I have a pit mix service dog and he’s VERY well behaved and has NEVER shown aggression. He has off days. They are still dogs. Zeus will sometimes sniff lower shelves but with a quick correction, he’s back on track. A pitbull can STILL BE A GREAT SERVICE DOG!!!!
I have an ESA for my anxiety, she's mostly there just to keep me company during anxiety attacks when I'm HOME ALONE, when there's no one else around to comfort me like my parents, she's sweet as pie with people but reactive towards other dogs, (she's never attacked or bitten anyone, just barks) so much so that when we're walking her we have to cross the street when another dog comes by just so they won't see each other.
ESAs don't have public access rights, and are not task trained. (COMPLETELY different from a service dog) I would NEVER take her into a non pet friendly/service dog only place because I know better than to put ACTUAL service dogs and their handlers in danger.
My point is, if your animal helps you, then it's an ESA. So in a sense, ALL pets are emotional support animals. Your relationship is between you and your pet only. I got my dog registered so people would take ME more seriously, not my dog. You don't need fancy registration papers, to take it everywhere or try to pass it off as a service dog in order to "prove" that it's an ESA because only YOU can know the help it provides you.
It's important to make a very clear distinction between ESAs and service animals, while still acknowledging how important ESAs are to some people.
Tl:dr don't confuse a fake service dog with an ESA, Us RESPONSIBLE ESAs owners are fed up with fake service dogs and people not knowing the difference too.
Please keep educating! I work for the airlines and a passenger brought a fake service dog that bit a little girls face. KEEP GOING!
Omg that's terrible! The last time I flew an airport employee injured my service dog and had the galls to tell me that I shouldn't have the right to travel with her because THE EMPLOYEE wasn't trained to handle the situation. SHE HARMED MY DOG and yet believes that to be my fault for traveling period. I wish we had less people like her working with the public and less dogs like the one you saw in public.
that "service dog" clip with it at the zoo n barking at the dolphins ! I saw that on the snapchat spotlight n they racked up over $2,000 dollars on it . my blood was boiling cuz they pretty much got paid for faking a service dog for entertainment . I'm so glad more people are seeing that clip tho
I know a guy with a fake service dog. Fortunately, I don't run into the jerk very often.
One time, though, I was in a restaurant eating while he was there. His so-called service dog kept coming over to my table to beg food. That's a pet, not a service dog.
When people have fake servicebfigs i thinks its very disrespectful to the person that has a true service dog
Edit:meant to say fake service dogs
The lady in the weelchair was in the wrong. Even tho the service dog was a fake she seemed to only had a problem because it was a pitbull saying that these kinds of dogs attack people all the time and then she followed and harassed them after they walked away
Walmart is private property and can prohibit photography. Failing to leave when told to is trespassing. The store can make her get out of their motorized cart and huff it back to her car.
What Dom (Service Dog Paws) forgot is when a health inspector was to walk into a business and see untrained Service animals running around and doing dumb things he/she can have that business shut down
I'm about to throw hands with some people. The Walmart situation? Yes, the two people were in the wrong, but that doesn't mean that they have a bad dog. Pit bulls are so intelligent and just as valid as any other breed of dog out there.
I agree !!
Exactly! Just like any other dog! It depend how the owner brings there dog up!
Service dogs of any breed are not trained to attack..
it’s not even a pit 💀
@@tammathashade2033 I don't believe it was trained for anything, including attacking people

Exactly.

i believe that as long as my pet dog isnt violent (shes not) that she should be allowed. shes never ever barked at another dog.
@@zodiaccorpses 2:55 I agree with you. It’s absolutely wrong for people that bring dogs in and they bark and lunge and act aggressive but if the dog has done absolutely nothing wrong, why go out of your way to cause a confrontation just to prove to people that there dog is better than yours! Super petty and annoying!
Things have gotten stupid in society as some individuals rights now overtake societal rights. You are not the service dog police because you have a service dog. It’s not your business, call the police if you want it dealt with.
Anyone else more upset at how Walmart employees were handling it though? I understand that the lady in the cart was harassing them by constantly following them and repeating that's not a service dog. And it does appear to be a fake plus to make it worse the "team's" reply to her was it's an attack dog. Which confirms it's not a service dog. But my issue is how that employee was just somewhat ignoring the fact that it was a fake by saying "it's none of their business"
This is the only time where I would side with the cart lady because it is their business to know ,as Walmart's staff, if the dog is a legitimate service dog because they don't allow pet's since they sell food and it's a health hazard to have dogs in a grocery store unless it's a service dog that it trained to focus only on its handler. But I obviously can see why people are upset at how this lady went about reporting the fake service dog. I'm just more upset at how Walmart handled the situation.
Your comment was wonderful ! you explained it more better then I could ! ❤
and I 100% agree with you.
It's also a health hazard because the dog might attack people or real service dogs
But you can't ask someone for their proof of the dog being a service dog. Right? So then how could they say "it is not a service dog" to the person bringing the dog inside?
@@BioLivbanon you can ask what they're trained to do, but if a service dog clearly has no training (being aggressive, easily distracted, won't listen to it's owner, hard to control) then it's not a service dog. Service dogs by definition have to be heavily trained.
Legally Walmart can’t do anything as the dog isn’t barking/lunging etc
The fact that service dogs dont have papers.....
Not ones you're allowed to request or demand. It's literally the letter from your doctor, which is HIPPA protected. According to the ADA, they MAY NOT request or require documentation AND beyond being under control of the handler they MAY NOT request or require that the service animal demonstrate its tasks.
The ONLY thing they are allowed to ask is:
"Is this a service animal?"
"For what task(s) is it trained?"
In regards to the latter question, no more detail need be given beyond "My dog is trained to help respond to symptoms/mitigate challenges associated with my disability."
They MAY NOT further inquire about the name and/or nature of your disability.
Which is a problem because people know about the 2 questions. They lie all the time and just because they answer them correctly they get to go in. Most people are afraid to kick these fake service animals out from fear of getting sue. @@GalXZ42081
Service dog registration and why it won't work in the USA
Now you think we not only should have to go to the doctor for a RX for a service dog but go to a licensed trainer then go to a new government agency for the special vest or tag for the service dog?
There's already too few legitimate service dog trainers out there now.
Any vest or id tags will get forged at any rate. I mean there's fake passports and drivers licenses.
-----------------
1] unfortunately that would make it harder for service dog handlers. In order to implement these things, they would first have to make the PROFESIONAL training of service dogs more uniform.
There would need to be trainers in every us city or town.
As all disabilities are different even with the same exact health issues making a one size fits all impossible. Each service dog is already trained for a spific person and their health issues.
---------
Like a standardized test that's not going to work as every disibility is different and even the many people who have the same disibility will have different symptoms at different levels and severity.
-------
2] They would have to eradicate OWNER training and make only program and professionally trained service dogs legit.
--
That would take the ability to gain a service dog from so many people who need them. If I needed a service dog I couldn't afford 20k plus for a trainer and another 20k plus for a program dog.
------
Instead of making it harder for disabled people businesses need to better educate themselves. They need to learn that IDs and Certificates aren't legitimate, that an ESA don't get public access and what actually constitutes kicking a team out.
---
There's ways to tell real service dogs from the fakes.
First ask the two questions that are legal.
-----
Q. What type of inquiries can be made about the use of a service animal?
---
A. To determine if an animal is a service animal, a public entity or a private business may ask TWO questions:
------
1) Is this animal required because of a disability?
1a] so the answer should be yes I need this service dog for my disabilities or disibility
--------
2) What work or task has this animal been trained to perform.
2a] s/he is a guide dog
It's trained to alert
It's a mobility aide
[These are just examples of answers.]
-----,
These inquires may not be made if the need for the service animal is obvious (e.g., the dog is guiding an individual who is blind or is pulling a person’s wheelchair.)
----
A public entity or private business may not ask about the nature or extent of an individual’s disability. --
They also may NOT require documentation, such as proof that the animal has been certified, trained or licensed as a service animal, or require the animal to wear an identifying vest.
-----
The second way to tell it's a legitimate service dog is to watch it work and by that I mean
----
Is it focused mostly on the owner
Is it using the restroom inside the store or whatever.
--
Is it barking for something OTHER than it's tasks like getting help
--
Is it going up to strangers for a purpose OTHER than getting help--
Where Service Animals Can Go
Generally, service animals are allowed to be with their person, even in places that don’t allow pets. For example, service dogs can go into:
• Restaurants
• Shops
• Hospitals
• Schools
• Hotels
----
EXAMPLE: A restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating. A woman arrives at the restaurant with her service dog and asks to sit inside. The restaurant cannot require the woman to dine outside because of her service dog.
--
The ADA also applies to certain types of housing, including:
• Housing at public and private universities
• Public housing programs run by state, county, and city governments
• Emergency shelters

Walmart can ask to stop recording but you can immediately ask for management. It is considered private property because Walmart owns said property. It would be like some one recording in your home, they can but the moment you ask them to stop it has to end. As for the attack dog, the employee should of gotten a supervisor.
Education sounds more like lots of confrontation
I’m really pissed at the lady in the power scooter. The “Nutter” comment was not only rude and disparaging but ignorant. Bully breeds are trained exclusively by some companies to partner with Veterans. They are saving two lives at once. I owe my life to my boy. A debt that I can never repay.
Thank you so very much for having these videos I knew the mental support animals weren't service animals and I perfectly support real service animals which can be a dog or a miniature horse properly trained.
I think the woman in the motorized carts issue was it was a pitbull... yes I would he irritated that it was an attack dog but she continued to follow them throughout the store and harass them... just go to the store manager and complain, no need to follow them and make a scene and asking for papers... from what I know that person just hates pitbulls with a passion and that seems to be the motivator here... I love bully breeds personally, but I understand why people don’t. Just be respectful all around tho... leave if it’s that much of an issue
I agree.
That dog 100% was not a pit bull, and clearly not an "attack dog". Real personal protection dogs are just as well trained as professionally trained service dogs. Just without the tasks. Also, PPD don't attack on command. Part of their training si to know when and when not to protect.
Not to mention she thinks "papers" are a thing....they are not. 🤦♀️
@@kaydence6660 Finally someone who realizes its an American Bulldog. I hate entitled people.
Thank you for posting these videos. Sadly, I feel like this is way more common lately. Because during and after covid I saw a lot of people with “emotional support dogs” walking into stores and the dogs would seem aggressive. But since they had service dog vests on, no employees ever approached them. And these people would say “it’s illegal to question the authenticity of a service dog” on the rare chance they were confronted. Just last week I went into a Walmart to buy eggs and a young lady had a “service dog” with her, and while it was a cute dog; I think it wasn’t legitimate. It was barking, growling, pulling it’s owner around, and it went potty on the floor. I’ve been doing some minor research because I’m now disabled and qualify for a service dog myself. And I’m glad people like you show me what to look out for when something like this happens. A lot of people are non-confrontational so I’m glad some people are standing up for those who can’t speak up for themselves. Thank you.
It's not illegal to ask what tasks the animals are trained to do
@@romantic_hippieand it shouldn't be. If you are completely legit then you will have no problem showing documentation for your actual service dog. I agree 100%
Regardless, if it’s a service dog or not, if it’s aggressive and lunges and barks, it should be put out of the store! But some people take it to another level even if the dog isn’t doing anything wrong they just want everyone to know their dog is a certified service dog!
@@romantic_hippie But what would that be anyone else’s business? If the dog absolutely doesn’t make a sound when he’s very well behaved, what is it any of your business to walk up and ask??

Thank you for educating managers, supervisors etc
The girl that was harassing the lady with the pit bull was bothering me so much because she had no business to follow the people around the store harassing them specially sense the dog was behaving itself wasn't pulling or harming anything or anyone. And you could tell she was judging the dog based of it's breed "pit bull" if you have a dog that's trained and won't distract service dogs you shouldn't have a reason to harass them.
I'd like to add that who's to say that that lady's harassment didn't cause the pitty to completely lose focus? My SDIT (they have PA rights where I live) would have had to be corrected multiple times and possibly removed from the property for a break if she were to harass me like that. I would absolutely request police involvement. Not to mention people like her are the reason I carry a camera on me. It is also illegal (or at least it is around here) to interfere with SD training and tasking which is exactly what this would be to me, especially if I'm busy having a panic attack during a training run courtesy of an entitled senior.
I’m sorry but this UA-cam chick at Walmart is the worse kind of person in my opinion. I mean the way she handled the situation is probably the most confrontational way of going about it.
Yes she should mind her own business not be confrontational with people WOW!!!
@@2cleo thank you for ur service!
She’s so confrontational, and harassing ppl. Doesn’t make you above the respect of others, regardless. Ma’am mind your business. I get it but going about it allllll wrong.
I agree. These fake educators are insufferable know-it-alls. She is also a negligent dog owner. The nails of the dog are way too long. Had I been there, I would have told her.
plus her dog also seemed to struggle she kept having to tell her dog to stay (not very service-like) But also the other people do need to know that bringing in a pet is wrong she just should have sked them nicely or gone and gotten real help.
Sadly, there is nothing the facilities can do in these situations, they are only allowed to ask if it’s a service dog and what tasks it is trained to perform, both of which can be lied about, and asking anything more is illegal
Exactly! That’s exactly how it’s like where I work
Whats even more dumb is I got an ad for ESAs before watching this.
I never approach them. I just point it out to the manager and let them deal with it
Me too.
As you should.
Because what if you approach them yourself, but you're wrong and cause an actual SD to miss an important medical alert?
We are camping at a RV site. Went to take the trash the other day.. next thing I know I’m being growled and lunged at (one was a pitbull and the other was a Doberman). They both had the red service dog vest on and the lady walking them could barely control them.
You can buy those online at even Temu for a couple of bucks. They really mean nothing besides the red vest for seeing eye dogs.
I have a pit bull that is a Service dog and she is awesome
I've seen a couple of brilliant pit SDs :)
People who fake service dogs are such Karens, if you need emotional support get a stuffed animal or something that won't terrorize real service dogs
That first video with the reactive husky made me so mad. That poor girl was obviously crying and very scared, I just wanted to hug her and hurl something at that other person

The fake service dogs are like fake handicap parking passes that also put the public a risk. Service dogs wouldn’t be in the basket in the produce section. They also shouldn’t bark at my son who has adhd and moves a lot. This bothers me so much. I’ve taught my son not to approach dogs, but he still moves a lot, which puts him at risk when people bring untrained dogs into Walmart. *sigh*
Apparently stolen valor isn’t limited to humans…😾
It definitely is.
The DOGS aren't the ones falsely representing themselves
I'm so tired of people advocating for pitbulls, acting like they're just another type of dog, and have NO elevated risk of unprovoked, and VICIOUS attacks on unsuspecting, vulnerable people every day, in numbers that FAR outpace ANY other breed of dog out there.
People who try to destigmatize this breed are doing more harm than good to the animals, because they're causing uneducated people to drop their guard in public, and even worse, take pity on the breed and adopt one into their home as part of some crusade to devilify them in the public eye, and in the process they end up putting their families and neighbors at risk! And when one of these seemingly random, unprovoked attacks happen, and their beloved family pet freaks out and latches onto their 5 year old Daughter's face, permanently disfiguring, disabling, or KILLING them, they are the first to go on TV crying in interviews, talking about how, "he was such a loving family pet for so many years! We just can't believe he would DO something like this!" And they post photos of their child's face looking like ground hamburger meat to Facebook along with a GoFundMe link to help "save their little angel get the medical help she needs just to live a normal life again" and the one thing they NEVER do is take personal responsibility in these interviews, and admit they were WRONG.. and advocate and urge people to NEVER invite a dangerous breed of dog into their family home around their children. They never say, "people tried to warn us, but we didn't listen, because we thought we knew better because of the 20 minutes worth of "research" we did in that Pro-Pitbull Facebook Group that one afternoon. We saw all those short video montages set to emotional music, with clips of Pitbulls being gentle with babies, and we thought, well that settles it! Let's get the one breed of dog that is most notorious for randomly tearing children's faces off!
If you want to know which breeds of dog to NOT bring into your home with small kids, just go to your local Children's Hospital and talk to any of the ER nurses and ask them how many small children are brought in each year that were mauled by their family dog, and then ask which breed is most responsible for these attacks, you will find hands down without hesitation that they will say it was an pit bull (or some variation of one) and that it is USUALLY a family pet (not the stray pit down the street that was abandoned after being abused and use for illegal dog fighting.. that's a myth you hear a lot that it's not their fault, and the cases of unprovoked attacks you hear about give pitbulls a bad name because they are disproportionately bred and used for dogfighting by gangs and bad people, who then abandon them which means there it a lot of traumatized pitbulls roaming the streets, yada yada. That's just not true because the small percentage of these dogs that are still used for fighting don't get abandoned, they usually get killed in the ring and dumped on a dumpster or vacant lot by these scumbag people, they don't just retire vicious fighting dogs by releasing them to roam the alleyways looking for unsuspecting neighborhood children to eat.
aww the first pup was so worried for its owner
SOME people with service dogs are horrendous. Who are they to tell someone else they don’t have a service dog and Who the f do they THINK they know to tell someone else they don’t have a service dog. And then to tell someone else they need to leave a public place?! Who the f are they? Ridiculous!
"I'm disabled so you better not touch me" bro... srsly?? she sounds so snobby
Criminal charges can bring heavier sentences when the victim is disabled or otherwise vulnerable.
The disabled and service dogs are protected by ada and discrimination laws
I understand the lady in the cart there's no reason for a pitbull to be in Walmart
She's 100% right .We have kids running around in Walmart
As a sd handler myself I’m sorry but that lady was harrassing. Don’t follow people faking service dogs to harrass them. Just educate and if they do not want to be educated just keep your distance and move on its not worth harrassing people. We cannot control what others do the best we can do as handlers is educate people.
The Walmart manager was so sweet and understanding ❤ I love the type of people who know to listen and who care to listen ❤
An “attack dog” is not a trait for a service dog... I have a Doberman service dog now and he was never trained to attack, but Im sure if needed he would protect me. But attack dog is not a service dog.
This is true, but the person harassing the dog owner didn't owe them an answer anyway, and the mouthy trash doing the harassing was on about pitbull stereotypes. Saying "attack dog" struck me in this context the same as "Get the fuck away from us".
Places are too afraid of social media backlash that they will not question anyone coming in a store with a dog. I just avoid these people when I come across them. My dog keeps me safe and I keep him safe. We are a team.
To say it's a service dog,ask for certificate of service,NOT an attack dog- unbelievable,a liability on the part of Walmart for letting a dog in for that reason😮😮
They don't need to show any certificate
I’m blind and I met up with one of my other friends who is blind at a mall near us. My friend had an older lady she made friends with in her apartment building drive her and she ended up staying with us at the mall. The lady had her little bichon frise whith her. She kept going back-and-forth between he’s a service dog and he’s an emotional support dog and my friend said she has papers for him if anyone asks. I was seriously tempted to confront this lady because the dog was not even remotely focused on her. He kept coming up to me when I would have anything in my hands and she wasn’t even telling him to leave it or to come back to her. I would ignore him because you’re not supposed to touch service dogs or pay them any attention. I’m glad I had a mask on because I probably wouldn’t have looked very happy with the situation. I am the one who caught him following some kids that were running around a store, and he didn’t even come back the first time she told him to. Even the store employees were giving him attention and she was not telling them that’s not OK. He didn’t bark or make any noise, he just was not behaving like a service dog should. I still haven’t told my friend how I feel about it because I don’t want her to think I’m being mean to her friend, but I think I should. Next time I see them I will try to muster up the courage to say emotional support animals are not allowed public access. I don’t have a guide dog so I don’t have any cards to give anybody, so that’s really all I can do and give them recommendations for these UA-cam channels.
So... I guess there's such thing as ,,fake meetups" ? Honestly... that is sad... - But I would've said something and if they said something to me about it and caused an argument, I would've just said ,,I am not gonna be part of this, goodbye." and leave.
you never follow the fakes, because you are putting yourself and your dog in danger. and this person that followed the fake pit bull service dog was a bad move. go to a manager and say something. or if the dog is trying to get at your dog say something and then go to a manager to report the issue.
I agree.
When I see a fake service dog I usually say ,,Thanks for putting my life at danger" then walk away. I don't get close to the fakes.
and whatever they say back at me, I just walk away so I don't cause a seen. I usually record everywhere I go so I have proof.
Absolutely Insane, People with disabilities Depend Or Need Support From the service dogs, as Notmal people Mistreat The use of service dogs To "Attack on demend" And Use them For Whatever they please
I'm so glad people make this type of videos to educate people
The people recording and yelling are creating more of a problem than the ones with the fake service dogs. Just mind your own business people.
as to the Last Clip, She should NOT have confronted the people with the pitbull, she should have just gone straight to management, her harassment of them is why the calls got called on her/she was asked to leave
Its so annoying to me when people are like "my esa 'sd' goes everywhere with me" like gurl- my family has a few esas
Guess where they are when we go to hellmart? At home
Like bestie it really isnt that hard
Honestly the woman who has the service dog named Mya needs to leave people alone. She not only CONTINUES the drama, she immediately throws around accusations and try’s to get people kicked out even when they said they have a supposed EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMAL, as well as her asking what the dog was helping with which she has no right to ask
She has every right to ask that legally. That is one of 2 sheCAN ask.
I have 2 dogs and we always check to see if they are allowed to go in any store or restaurant. Thank goodness to you for taking action against these dog owners who think they are above the law. Thank you! Thank you!
Me watching this while sewing my sds harness:
🤣
I just want to say that while (and this is only in some states) there is no law stating it is illegal to film in a store, there is company policy. However, that woman specifically calling her dog an attack dog… service dogs do not attack they alert. He’s not a service dog and that lady is right that it is their business and they should be asking. They want to enforce the no recording policy they need to enforce all policies (and laws because it is illegal to fake a service dog)
I've never even owned a Pitbull but they are one of my favorite dog breeds. They are just so damn cute! I've owned a Westland Terrier (Dont have many memories of him, I was young), and 2 King Charles Cavalier Spaniels that died a little over a year ago. I miss them a lot, but I'm hoping to get a Mini Aussie (American Shepherd) soon and been watching a lot of videos about Dogtraining. I went hella off topic, sorry lol.
Awe.. I am sorry for your loss.
and yes Pitbulls are very cute ! 💖
They're one of my favorites too. I would love to have one someday.
I know this video was ages ago but the lady in the motorised shopping cart is spreading misleading information. That was NOT a pitbull.
4:00 idk if the person she was talking to was a manager or employee, but i have to say as an employee we avoid confrontation as much as possible, especially after covid making people more hostile. The best thing to do is tell a manager what is going on because they will usually deal with it. Trust me some/most of us hate it when people bring their pets/fake service dogs in but the reason why we dont say anything is because of how these people react.
I can totally understand that ! ❤
On top of that, my previous bosses have said that the reason the ‘grunt workers’ (customer services) can only ask if it is a service dog is because if we were to slip up and ask the wrong question (even though most of us know the two questions allowed), then our workplace could be liable for refusing someone with a legitimate SD service. So, we are to call the managers if we see a dog misbehaving (pooping/peeing, lunging at people, etc) and they will come out and ask the questions.
BOTH us managers and employees don’t give af. We don’t get paid enough to handle personal petty conflicts you have with other customers. We are there to handle merchandise and do store related stuff. If you’re inquiry doesn’t have to do with merchandise then carry on or call the authorities. We may put on a fake smile and pretend to be concerned but we are not. This is why I’m so happy to finally be out of retail smh.🙄
I've had where people demand i take their "service" dogs in the back of the ambulance on calls. Only ever had one real service dog on a call and it was so behaved nobody minded it.
what's crazy is where i live in California, i have never encountered a fake service dog in any stores, so it's kinda bizarre when i see videos of so many fakes
I also live in California, and where I am I see fake's everyday.. ):
"neither can yours" meanwhile, her dog was sitting calmly
Thank you for the education and posting this. However i feel that lady was blaming the breed of pitbulls and not the bad training just an opinion 😅
I agree ! She was more of a pitbull hater. yes the dog was fake but she mostly blamed the pitbull.
@@TheWorkingRetrievers yeah I don’t like people like that cause they aren’t even people aggressive like people claim they are they’re dog aggressive 🥰
I don't like fake service dogs, but this lady is just rude. She needs to learn to mind her own business. One of these people might decide they don't like her tone. I bet that poor dog is embarrassed for her. He has more shame than her and he drinks from the toilet.
The one with the pit bull the lady videoing shouldn’t have worried about it and just left it alone
the intro song is so good I literally keep on replaying it lol
As a walmart employee i just wanted to say we are not allowed to talk to people with animals under any circumstances. Only management are allowed to approach a person with an animal.
Some people think that if they put a harness on their dog that says, “Service Dog” then their dog is automatically a Service Dog. Or because they bought a fake service dog license.
Honestly a lot of the handlers in this video are just as wrong as the fake ones because if you see a fake you turn tf around and don’t approach it.
If you approach a person with a fake you are putting your dog in danger and if anything happens that is your fault at that point
I’m like anyone else and I hate when people bring regular dogs and pretend them to be service animals but the lady at Walmart the dog did not lunch it did not bark it did nothing wrong and the lady with the service dog had to make sure she spoke up in front of everyone and caused a scene and that is also wrong. If the dog is doing absolutely nothing, then you shouldn’t cause a confrontation.
