[QUOTE=OneMoreTime;56061]I will do a later thread about just how many right federal law gives the owners of Emotional Support Dogs. While there is a FEW places you can't legally go, if you have a Well-Trained dog that Behaves like a Service Dog in pubic places and around people, and your dog wears an identifying vest while working in public, you will have a great deal assistance.

I believe you are very confused. Emotional Support Dogs do NOT have public access. Emotional Support Dogs are dogs who help those with mental health disabilities simply by being there. They are not specially trained. Emotional Support Dogs are allowed in no pet housing and on airlines with proper documentation, but that is it!

Psychiatric Service Dogs, however, are service dogs with whom you do have public access. PSDs are individually trained to DO SOMETHING to help the person with a psychiatric disability by mitigating the disability. Just being there does not count. The dog has to DO something that the person can not do for themselves. For example, many PSDs alert to a panic attack, ground, lead to an exit, keep the person from dissociating.

This is a very important and legal distinction. If you take a ESA into public guised as a SD, you are breaking state and federal law!
