He is by no means a service dog and I'd never cIaim him to be one. I take him to pet friendly stores where they are allowed. He stays focused on what I need to do. He is always leashed and walks on a loose leash. He would definitely put those fake service dogs to shame. Those fake dogs couldn't even pass an AKC CGC test. I went to Cabelas yesterday and a gentleman asked if my dog was a service dog. I replied no, then he asked to pet him. That guy knew the rule, so there are people out there that know you don't pet a service dog while their working.

Could be a pet friendly place, or outdoor event (where everyone including your cousin with the pet iguana brings them to even if it says not pet friendly.) still no one, and I mean no one should bring their dog out into a place like that if their dog is that reactive.

I've literally quit leaving my house. Except to doordash. Ever since both of my service dogs in training of the past 2 years washed. I just quit.

[@destroyerunicorn1489]

For me often since Amazon vests are used for real and fake service dogs the biggest tell on whether they are real or fake before it sees my SDIT is if the leash is attached to the vest or a collar. Often times fakes use a vest as a harness while real ones usually just use it as a vest alongside a collar. While this isn’t foolproof it’s a pretty good way to gauge which ones to avoid at all costs and which ones you simply just want to give some space out of respect. ( because it’s rude to use another team as a training opportunity without asking)

[@spacechicken527]

What if there was a way to get pet dogs registered to be allowed in public, but they'd have to pass a strict test first - the same sort of thing a service dog would have to pass, such as 1. Following basic commands 2. Ignoring distractions such as shopping carts 3. Ignoring people and other animals unless specifically given permission to greet. 4. Showing appropriate behavior when allowed to greet (no jumping or pulling on leash) 5. Remaining in heel position even if leash is dropped or removed. That way pet owners would have a way to bring their dog with them, but they would have to pass a test to ensure they're well-behaved first. I don't blame owners for wanting to bring their dogs with them, I blame them for bringing an untrained dog into public and thus causing danger to others. Thoughts?

How about no dogs go inside the stores period. That would solve this ridiculousness. I had no idea this was a thing to go around looking for fake service dogs.

[@romeliaanddixie]

So I’m gonna address some ignorant things you have said so you don’t say them to other people and get ripped a new one. Service dogs are 100% allowed in stores because they are required. They are not a choice that people get to have. They are no different than someone who has to be prescribed pills or a wheelchair. They are there to help someone with a disability. And secondly people do not go around and “search out” fakes. They avoid them but record them as-well, 90% of the time to protect themselves from being accused or to have proof for court if they decide to sue. There are some bad apples who purposely follow dogs, but those people are hardly a part of the service dog community. Typically their dogs aren’t even service dogs either.

People need to realize it’s NOT all in how you raise them, genetics matter. Pointers point, retrievers retrieve and blood sport breeds fight.

I always assume every dog can bite, that just means thinking safely ahead to avoid issues. I have a Shihtzu pet and a Rottweiler service dog, and you’d better believe I’ve trained them accordingly.

[@bbycherub2420]

@@romeliaanddixie I'm aware. I've been breeding working APBTS for more than 20 years for rat extermination, hog hunting, and gameness. I wouldn't say they don't have a certain look though (Although a lot of inexperienced kids on tiktok and instagram say that.) they have a set standard (ADBA and UKC) and yes some can look a bit wider, have a blockier head, some can even weigh up to 85 to 95 pounds if they're catch dogs for bigger game. But even then they're slim and don't look like they're on steroids like XL American Bullys or bandogges. Since they're working dogs like border Collies appearance varies but in my opinion, they do have a certain look. Just the same way a purebred border collie can be identified by structure, muzzle shape, head shape, ovetall body language (slinky body), etc. An APBT can be identified by structure, ear shape, legs and waist, and overall body language (pulling, legs pulled back, head high), etc. Even for bigger APBTS or APBTS that are extremely small, I've never had trouble identifying them. Backyard bred APBTS can look identical to an American Bully or Mastiff because usually Amstaff is mixed in for a bigger dog or they're overbred, standard not in mind. But overall, APBTS are smaller, ranging on average from 25 to 65 pounds, a very obvious waist line, legs low and skinny or at least noticeably slimmer, jaw line higher than their neckline so the head is higher, the head shape blocky but the snout can be slim to square. Any color except patterns like merle. They come in blue but it's rare and is a sign of unethical breeding. Since if you're breeding blue, you're doing it on purpose, a blue pup can occur naturally in a litter of non-blue puppies but it's best for it to be culled.

And still the difference is that our dogs are going to watch us beat the s*** out of your fake service-dog because real service dogs don't get into altercations because they know when they are working what is expected of them. There is a time to be a dog and there is a time to work.

[@pittymama4500]

@@NirvanaAndToby ok first off, she was correct in her opinion because absolutely no real service team will have a "please pet" patch. The main reasons 😸 being that it's a bad habit to start, being that it will affect other teams and we don't do that to each other. Second of all the fact that you have more than one friend with service dogs tell me that is something to be suspicious about because I don't know too many service dog teams that have friends with service dogs and even if they do know someone with the legitimate service dog it's definitely not more than one. I have a feeling that you're grouping emotional support animals into this and that is not the same. And there is no such thing as a good health day for service dog teams because the point is that your dog needs to be able to identify a risk to your health if it were to happen it doesn't matter if it's a good or bad day. As a legitimate team we know that our job is to make sure that our dogs are not being noticed because they are staying to themselves and not being a bother to the public as this is actually part of the guidelines that the ADA has set forth. And another reason why service teams do not allow the public to interact with their dog since it teaches bad habits and lets the dog focus on other things. This creates problems with their job. So along with more things I could point too, it tells me your legitimacy. Js my opinion

[@NirvanaAndToby]

@pittymama4500 it's fair that you think that And yes, no team will have please pet patches I have a cardiac alert and response and mobility assistance sd not Esa And I've met people in the sd community who are friends of mine, with real sds, who occasionally will let people pet their sd And while I rarely let people pet my sd, sometimes I do And for me, I do have good and bad mental health days Bad being I can't get of bed, have to use a wheelchair, ect Good being, I want to go places, I'm energetic, dont have to take as much meds, etc My dog refocuses quickly, so it's not a problem for us I can see why other people don't, and everything it's hard for people to not notice my dog she's 60lbs, jet black, with bright red patches saying do not pet And while yes, she is well behaved and highly trained, as all sds should be, that doesn't make her invisible, lol Again, I can see where you're coming from and completely understand, but we are a legitimate team with real issues, lol I just let people occasionally pet my sd, rarely in non pet friendly places and sometimes in pet friendly places I hope this helps :]

If you come across fake service dogs in stores the only attention you should be giving the owner is negative. Complimenting their dog, petting it or having friendly talk with the owners only encourage them to keep bringing their dogs to stores. The first couple of videos even if the person was filming because they dont support the owners actions, were STILL endorsing this behavior which is not okay no matter your stance on this.

[@romeliaanddixie]

Some people have no choice but to be kind. After my service dog was threatened that she was going to be killed. I am now traumatized to speak to people so when they spark up a conversation, I try to be as nice as possible because if I’m anything, but nice, I fear for my dogs life. You shouldn’t be blaming service dog handlers for trying to be friendly.

[@Jenny_andy]

@@romeliaanddixie that's not what I'm doing at all. What I'm saying is many times when people who do bring their dogs in and get called out use the excuse that people they met have been fine with them and like it. Your situation is understandable for that but I'm talking about non service dog handlers who interact with fake service dogs. Anytime I've said owners in this comment were talking about the fake service dog handlers not real ones. Sorry for not specifying.

Hey, I have a question. If I see a dog with a service vest on, that means they are working, right? And if they have a vest on and are acting like a normal dog, they are not a service dog?

[@romeliaanddixie]

It depends, if the dog is behaving like a service dog but doesn’t have a vest on they are still working. If they have a vest on or no vest and are in a place that doesn’t allow pets and they are misbehaving or doing something a service dog will never do (such as sit in a cart, be in a stroller, bark, growl, pulling, eat things off the floor, lunge and act out or be fearful) they are a fake. Vest or not. I always look for behavior before I judge a dog. If the dog has a vest or no vest and is in a non pet friendly area and behaving well I’ll think it’s real, if it’s acting out or clearly not helping their handler it’s a fake in my eyes. (And under certain ADA laws to) :)

What if you have a dog that is individually trained to perform tasks that assists with your disability, but it sucks at everything else. Aka it doesnt sit still, it shows interest in other dogs, wags it tail, etc. Does it still qualify as a service animal under the ada?

[@romeliaanddixie]

No, because they must be under full control. Also if your state doesn’t allow SDIT then your dog can’t be in public at all. Because I know most states even ones who allow SDIT, require that the dog must be fully obedience trained before being in public.

Everyone's assuming that it's a SD because of the wheelchair user when that might not be the case - this could've easily been a pet friendly place.

I believe that fake service dogs are inappropriate and should never be out there in public as service dogs. What I have a problem with is the kicking of a dog. Animal abuse is never okay. Never.

[@romeliaanddixie]

The only logical reason to kick in animal is it the animals acting aggressively towards your dog.

[@Theleaddog]

@@romeliaanddixie this leap towards the service dog wasn’t an “attack” that would warrant a kick. That kick made that dog fly backwards. I get that attacking a service dog is also attacking this person and her disability. Service dogs are medical equipment but they are also family. They are very expensive and it takes a while to achieve and requires ongoing training for the handler and her dog. I understand the trigger here. I would be triggered too. I still think this was use of excessive force in a situation that didn’t call for it.

[@romeliaanddixie]

@@Theleaddog the dog was hardly kicked. The person with the dog jerked their dog back by the harness, making it look like it got kicked far.
