[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The typical "faking a service dog" type behavior.

You're fooling NO ONE. I'd say most people  have experience in knowing someone with a real service dog so they know how a real service animal will behave.

A dog pulling its way through Target is not a real service animal. A dog begging at a table in a restaurant is not a real service animal. A dog who wags its tail at every person walking down the airplane aisle is not a real service animal.

Working service dogs do not get distracted. They do not beg for food. They do not pull on their leash unless they are attempting to get help.

[/quote] +1   I was in safeway a few months ago. A man and his dog were in line. There was an endcap right next to them; the dog took a step toward the endcap and sniffed the items on the bottom shell.  A real service dog stays very close to the owner, with total attention on the owner. [b]They do not even take one step away, let alone sniff stuff.[/b] [/quote]

That's just not true. Service dogs are not robots. I've worked with blind people who had seeing eye dogs that accompanied them to work and conferences etc. and those dogs do sniff things that smell especially stimulating, like food. They do step more than a step away from their person. They do wag their tails and accept affection when offered. They are not robots.[/quote] Not when they are working, they don't. My friend has a cane corso that she's trained to be her service dog.  When she's in a grocery store, her dog doesn't leave her side. He doesn't sniff anything or anyone.  He has his full attention on her.  When he's "off" he sniffs and is a very friendly and regular dog.  But that's her diligent training.  She can't have her very large cane corso approaching people, and she certainly has him trained not to sniff around the grocery store or any time that he's working.[/quote]

Sorry, but you are full of excrement. Did I not say that I WORKED with people who had seeing eye dogs? THE DOGS WERE WORKING, after professional training at The Seeing Eye, and they sniffed, wagged their tails, accepted pats from coworkers.

I doubt your story is even true, and if it is, it's disturbing. A cane corso as a service dog? Those dogs are lethal. Sounds like your friend has a potentially lethal weapon as her ESA that she calls a service dog. [/quote]
