    Very impressed with the accuracy! Only thing I would add is in the USA, service dogs are covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which is federal. However, service dogs in training are covered by the individual states and may need to be accompanied by a certified trainer in public- but may also not be required.

    @@Emzotic exactly. There are no outfit requirements for trained service dogs, but some states prefer hearing dogs to wear orange collars for example. States have no bearing on fully task trained service dogs. However, if the dog does not meet the requirements of a SD, then the state is allowed to dictate stricter requirements. But if you are on Indigenous land, like a casino, then the federal law does not apply and it is up to the sovereign nation to decide if they will follow ADA and allow you. Also, private clubs like paid membership golf clubs, do not have to follow ADA. ADA covers places that are accessed by the general public like ball games, restaurants, and hospitals. But not places of private residence, sterile surgical rooms, or places that prepare food.

    @@EricaDiebold The orange collar/ vest thing is basically that they have extra strong protections. The fines are larger for discriminating if the vest is bright orange and stuff like that. And I'm sure you know this, but I want to say this for anyone reading. Service animals must be allowed into restaurants in the same way the general public is. They can only be denied if they will be in an area where food prep occurs, like if a chef needed a Service Animal. On another note, I don't know if you have an ESA or SD or not, but either way, thank you for knowing the laws. We need more people like you around💜

I only asked one of the two questions you're allowed to ask, and they flat out told me it was a ESA and that its the same as a SD. I think what made them angry was they had been able to dupe businesses before without question, and hadn't expected me to see through the charade. If it was a well behaved dog, I would've let it be, but the little dog was all over the place. Meanwhile, I've seen actual SDs and SDiTs come in and I've been blown away in awe of them and their work. I don't ask to pet, but I do compliment and voice admiration to the handler and then just let them be.

    This reminded me of the time a friend of mine tried to get her dog certified to be a Therapy Dog (the proper way of course). In the end, when it was time to test the animals the person running the class basically told my friend her dog was too stupid to be a therapy dog (though in much kinder words). Plots Twist: He was a Black Lab/German Shepard mix. (And for anyone wondering what she actually said was: despite his personality being EXACTLY what you want from a therapy dog, like 100/10 goodest boy for that job, his "self-preservation' was too low. ie in one test they had the handlers roll a wheelchair towards the dogs while they were laying on the ground to see how they'd react. The Goodest Boy in question remained exceptionally calm-which is good!-but didn't move out of the way-not good-in fact my friend even set the wheelchair gently over him so he was "trapped" under it, and he still didn't move. This later foreshadowed events where a patient of hers actually ran him over with their wheelchair (it was a hospital manual pushchair, not electric), and... he still didn't move. Goodest Boy was okay. He ended up with hematomas of his ear and he needed surgery to fix that, but he sustained 0 injuries to his trunk, pelvis, or spine.)

    I didn't know what an ESA was. I've had pets my entire life and as an adult I had my chihuahua for 11 years. After he passed I wasn't going to get another pet. After several months talking with my therapist, she mentioned ESA and that it was possible a pet could help with my depression and anxiety. Forward to today, I have three ferrets that I go to when I'm anxious or can't process how I'm feeling. Even so, I never take them anywhere or expect businesses to just let me walk around with them because they are not service animals. I suppose its easier to respect boundaries with ESAs when you have or need one of your own. Thank you for making this video, Em. You're a personal hero of mine.

    I was at a children’s hospital for almost 10 years (sickkids 🤟🏽) and they had 5-6 therapy dogs who would come in. I’d get to have a dog comfort me during my chemo treatments or when I was in hospital for 4 months they would come once a week and just sit on me or comfort me and id just sit there and cry and hold the dog. I’m planning to eventually get a service dog for my bpd/ptsd along with my 10+ physical disabilities ranging from hyper mobility syndrome to blood clots (which Dogs can be trained to sniff detect blood clots!!) and heart issues which I’ve had a heart attack.

    Thank you for sharing your thoughts and educating us on this topic. In the UK, ESAs aren't considered as assistant dogs. This means they don't get the same rights or access to different places as guide dogs. I have anxiety and depression and my 2 dogs (who aren't trained as ESAs) definitely have help me to calm down. ESAs can't fly with their owners as certain airlines don't allow it. I really wish the UK would take examples from other countries, like USA, to make life easier for those who need their esa, therapy and guide pets to be more independent and stay healthy. ❤️

    Story 1- I was a waitress. This gentleman was at in my section. I helped the man to select his meal. And did my uneducated best to help him. His dog sat under his table. Didn't make a sound. Not sure anyone else knew the pup was there. Other than commenting about his dog or moving the tail out of the footpath I ignored the dog. At the end of the meal, he said I could give his dog a hug. Being that I was at work I opted for petting the dog instead. Pleasant man well behaved service dog. Story 2- I was going to be traveling between Japan and the US. I wanted to bring my cat with me. I thought about claiming him as an ESA since he is so well behaved (honestly was, he loved everyone and didnt get scared easily). I hoped I could skip some of the Japan import procedures for our return and wanted to skip the airline pet fees and alone him to sit on my lap during the flights. I chose NOT to this. I paid for his flight, his import stuff and had his carrier on my lap with my arm zipped inside it to comfort him (and me). I have not and will not claim my pets as ESAs.

She wrote a prescription for me to have Keebs as an ESA, and whenever we used to travel together via airplane (ESA’s are not allowed onboard anymore due to changes in the law) she’s be on hand to speak to airport staff if they ever needed to verify his ESA status.

    The only valid way to get an ESA (or even a SD) is to talk to a licensed professional and they must determine that your quality of life will significantly benefit from one. In the US, there is no such thing as a registry, although some local government entities may have an option registry, and program dogs may come with "ID" and "papers" but by law there is no such federal requirement

It's very informative, speaks of issues and benefits between all types, and is very neutral/unbiased! We will be doing training at my workplace soon, so I will send this video to my boss as this video will significantly help the crew with handling and dealing with service animal teams in order to provide the best possible experience for *all* customers.

    ESA's are amazing. My ESA saved me from falling down a dark path many times. I probably wouldn't even be here if it weren't for him. Whenever I feel like I want to be done with the world I look at him and remember I will be leaving him without his companion, so I stay. I've only had a therapist in 6th grade and that didn't go well for me. I have trouble opening up because I constantly feel I'm being judged or looked at like someone less than. But with Dexter (my ESA) I've never felt that way. Some people think it's weird, but I will talk to him as if he were just a normal person. Even though how amazing Dexter is, I would never bring him into a non-pet friendly space.

    My cat Piggy is "registered" as an ESA for my depression, anxiety, and OCD. Basically, my therapist confirmed that I'm more stressed when I don't have a pet and that having an animal to care for motivated me. I know quite a bit about ESAs and service animals from the process of turning Piggy from pet to psychiatric aid, but I didn't know ESAs were protected under the fair housing act! I thought it was only service animals. I'm planning to get my own service dog for a variety of tasks, but I guess I have more to learn still!

    I have tons of mental disorders, more in the process of being diagnosed, and I have always wanted a service dog because I think it would help me a lot, one of the things being grounding when I dissociate which can happen, or alerting when I start to get too nervous and need to be removed from a situation, or stopping my bad anxious habits such as severe nail biting, I also sometimes tic so hard I cant really see (blinking tic) and i sometimes zone out so having a dog be able to lead me out of the way of others or to a corner where I can calm down would be so helpful! I doubt I will ever get one but we'll see

    This is definitely an important subject to talk about. I really hate the people who try to pass off ESAs as service dogs, especially when they're not trained at all. I'm also currently working with my dog on being a therapy dog. She's a rescue and has a fantastic temperament but didn't have any training so we're going through classes. She's doing good and I'd love to be able to help and volunteer with her to help out.

    There's actually a vaccine in development that stops cats from producing the stuff that most people allergic to animals are responding too, it'll also likely, eventually, be effective on dogs. You inject it into the animals, and it lasts for quite a while, but they do need regular boosters. No idea when it will be available to the public, or if it ever will. But it looks promising. If they can make it for cats, they will probably alter it for other animals, too.

    I’ve been diagnosed for a year now with severe anxiety disorder and severe depression….About two weeks ago I was also diagnosed with Bipolar 2. I’ve been wanting a SD for a long time because I always have thought it would give me more independence to go out and about on my own. I literally can’t go anywhere without having a safety person there with me because of my mental issues. I’m 22 and I’m watching my life pass me by because the world isn’t accessible for me. Thank you for making this video Em, the info was really lovely and I’m gunna talk with my therapist and see if we can get the ball rolling for me. I didn’t know that Bipolar 2 qualified as a mental disorder that can benefit from a SD, I feel like this diagnosis will make life just a little easier from now on. -sorry for the word vomit It’s 40C and my brain is soup

Shirley would cuddle me sat on my chest. Bryson is the entertainer he would hide his head on a blanket or a pillow leave his tail out and wag then he would seat on my belly.

    I don't see why they wouldn't any animal that helps you can be a ESA. Thing I've always questioned is even if they act as a ESA when is there a point in getting a note saying their a ESA. When I was younger I had a rat that was DEFIANTLY a ESA (also had others that were just pets) thought i never got a note saying so. She even got to go to therapy with me a few times and went to any pet friendly places I went.
