Huh? Is that Harley or Anakin? *Jin barks*

I think a better way to put this is if your dog cannot perform a specific task for your disability and is not capable of passing a PAT (Public Access Test) then it is not an SD. Canine Good Citizenship cert does not count.

There is also the question when does an SDiT (in training) become an SD? The minimum guidlines by Assistance Dog International (ADI) recommends passing the minimum ADI PAT and to be able to perform 3 tasks. The ADA does not specifiy, it just outlines behavior in public and says "...perform tasks...)
