Service Dogs
Many people have lingering questions about service dogs and emotional support animals (ESA). I will address those questions first by explaining the differences between them. A service dog is a dog that is trained to complete tasks and alerts to help a person or handlers that is disabled. An emotional support animal (ESA) is just an animal that gives comfort to a person, with just the presence of the animal. The issue with today is that people are getting mixed up with public access between the two. Service dogs have to ability to go almost every place that the handler can go. There are only a few exceptions like churches, synagogues, kitchens where food is being prepared, sterile rooms and more that they can not go. This is because it is unsafe for the dog and potentially the handler. ESAs are only able to have access with housing in places that would normally not allow pets, travel help like hotels, and even flying. ESAs do not have the training in order to be allowed to have public access and there is no real reason to have them in public. All they are there for is to give comfort to the owner they do not complete tasks to help the owner. When someone brings an ESA into public it can harm actual service teams and do more damage than good. There are many different types of services dogs that complete different tasks for their handler. This can be anywhere from guiding their handler that is blind to alerting them that they are going to have a panic attack. Service dogs give the disabled a way to gain back their independence.

A Puppy Saved My Marriage
My husband always said that he did not want a dog in our household. “Me or the dog” he would say. When we separated in the summer of 2018, I did some quick research and impulsively found a puppy that could come home to me a month later. I wasn’t sure what my husband Adam would say but I knew I had always wanted a dog. Now that the children were mostly grown it was time to do what I wanted for a change. There was a part of me that was mad our situation had come to this and I wanted to draw a line in the sand. I would no longer be stifled. I would have a say. The puppy was a huge step for me – we had always made all the decisions together in our marriage – even small things like what bathroom rug to get or the throw cushions for the couch. This was the first time I had made a major purchase without talking about it and agreeing, first.

Each dog must know about essential behaviors particularly with regards to strolling with a rope. You won't have to rope your dog when you are home or meandering around with your ESA in the terrace. Yet, while going out in broad daylight, your dog must have courteous habits and should realize how to act out in the open.
