I have a female husky for my granddaughter who has an attachment disorder and learning disability . I got her the dog to help with her attachment disorder to me to help her not to be so clingy on me. Does she qualify for her dog to be a service dog or companion dog.
Depends. Does the dog perform a specific task, or does she simply provide companionship? If she only provides companionship, then she is an Emotional Support Animal, and only has access on public transport and no-pet housing. If she performs tasks to help her disability, then it’s a Service Dog. If you think that the dog can learn some tasks, than try it out. The dog must also behave well in public if it understands tasks, espeicailly with a child since they’ll not only disrupt the public, but could cause the child to become upset or untrustworthy towards her dog. Best of luck with everything!

ESA’s don’t require proper training, and can be any animal as long as you’ve been told that one would benefit you. ESA registration is not nessacarry, but if you would rather get your dog registered, the page has a section on the top menu regarding registration.
Service dogs are so expensive!!! I looked into it before and the 2 places I was able to find cost about $7000!! No way can I afford that!!!
My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson’s about 4 years ago. A few months ago we bought a German shepherd hoping to have her trained to help him. We had no idea the high price it would be. She is 7 months old and we can’t afford to have her trained. Is there somewhere we could get some help?
While this isn’t always the best option, you can try owner training. This way you can teach her everything you can, and more proffessional training can be done by trainers. Hopefully this will save money, since you’ll only need to pay for outfits and vet, which you’d be paying no matter what. Opening a page for donations is also an option. Good luck with you dog!

I have a question regarding service dogs in a nursing home. I have diabetes, chronic pain which has confined me to a wheelchair, CVID, a a primary immunodefiiciency disease, that causes me to rapidly get very sick, and have been diagnosed with bipolar disorder for thirty years. My nursing home has a no animal policy which they’ve said includes service dogs. Is that legal? Employees bring their dogs to work, as do volunteers. What are my rights concerning this matter. What types of businesses, if any, is it legal to refuse entry to a service dog?
Thanks…
