  4. Why so much Worry?

    Why so much Worry?

    Reading through my daily service dog groups I was reminded of how we worry about how others view us. Even within our own service dog groups, we worry about how other handers view our teams. The most dreaded label is "fake service dog". Sadly, I have seen perspective teams wash their dog and quit...

    What to do when you are denied entry with your service dog. (US)

    This question arises on our boards from time to time and can be a huge headache for those who are denied entry into a public access area with their service dog. Typically, denials are rare, but they do happen. Dougal and I have been on the road together for almost 2 years and have had a few and...

    Service Dog Access Issues (US)

    In most places, our service dogs are allowed to travel with us wherever we go. Most of the time this is likened to those with medical devices, like wheelchairs, that need them while out in public. However, the general public, as a whole, is not aware of our need to have our dogs with us, and...

    General Fake Names

    One of the reoccurring topics I see on the many boards and pages I visit is about using fake names for our service dogs while in public. Currently, the topic has been bouncing around in my head, so I thought I would use my blog to hopefully remove it. :D While working in law enforcement as a K9...

    SD Adventures Morning Breakfast

    I so enjoy being able to talk about our good experiences. Looking through social media service dog sites/pages it seems you only read about the bad experiences. I do understand that is a good way to relieve stress about a bad situation, but it seems that so few share their good times with their...

    Video Filming In Public

    From time to time this subject raises it's ugly head. I normally see 2 camps of people with this. 1. Those that say we can film anywhere in public, minus places that actually do confer an expectation of privacy like bathrooms. 2. Those that start quoting one and two-party states. I am firmly...

    Video Public Video Recording

    A while back I was in some heated debates with other teams about the validity of recording while out in public. I stand firmly on the "expectation of privacy" policy while others wanted to point out that they lived in a "2-party consent" state. My main argument for the 2-party people was simply...
