Ms Sarah Elizabeth; I've just stumbled across this blog entry you called "Service Dogs and Boobs- A Complete Guide". I'm so sorry to see that such a good writer is no longer blogging since 2014. Or have you changed your Blog name? Or gone to another type of blog program?<br /><br /> I am physically and mentally, umm, 'challenged', shall we say? I died laughing reading this. My PSD is a long-coat German Shepherd with an EXTREMELY long bushy squirrel tail, that ALWAYS seems to get under the 'neighbor's' bathroom stall - lots of squealing!!<br /><br /> I would very much like to have your permission to print this entry and share it with the adult public. I'd also like to share it with my fellow Psychiatric Service Dog Teams. I would, of course, attribute it to you along with a (c) Copyright label.<br /><br /> Because of the age of this blog, I don't even know if you will ever see this comment in 2018. But I hope you & I hope you'll allow me the honor...<br />Kindest Regards, Deb & DakotaA Shiny Copper Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10761409206678271890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819225097163694379.post-11217644209394040262017-10-09T22:36:58.061-07:002017-10-09T22:36:58.061-07:00Thanks for sharing ..Service Animal TravelThanks for sharing ..<a href="https://www.pdscenter.com/esa-letter.html" rel="nofollow">Service Animal Travel</a>PDS Centerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00246101803375032646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819225097163694379.post-6340306817745476302017-09-17T11:40:52.287-07:002017-09-17T11:40:52.287-07:00That's a great idea!That's a great idea!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16073908081259853883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819225097163694379.post-84131948669563615362017-09-10T02:09:55.176-07:002017-09-10T02:09:55.176-07:00As a SD handler, I will say that I don't mind ...As a SD handler, I will say that I don't mind hearing that my dog is beautiful if they leave it at that.

I would love to connect with you on a more personal note as I am consistently working on articles and pieces that pertain to the "horse" element and find out where you are located as a reference through my new website going up. My husband is visually impaired and has always wanted to consider a leader horse, but ultimately has not been around horses (city boy) and thought it was silly. I on the other hand, want to learn more so when I am asked questions it would be answered properly... are you game?Kittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11211987798069629254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819225097163694379.post-75701331597315978402017-08-13T19:53:10.135-07:002017-08-13T19:53:10.135-07:00My cousin shared this article with me, along with ...My cousin shared this article with me, along with the comment: I can't wait to meet your new boob! Er, I mean, service horse! <br /><br />It was pretty hilarious. <br /><br />But, seriously, thank you for pointing this out. I'm new to service animals and, as a handler of a miniature service horse, I get inundated by these questions and comments constantly, seemingly even moreso than my counterparts who have service dogs. It's a challenge to deal with, sometimes. If people just followed this guideline, 98% of my issues with people asking inappropriate questions would go away.<br /><br />(On a related note, before someone comments to this effect... Yes, miniature service horses are allowed under the ADA. There is a clause permitting their use in place of a dog. I've also spoken with the ADA numerous times to make sure my understanding of the laws as they pertain to service horses is accurate. So, please, don't tell me she isn't legally a service animal!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17556847939942099454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819225097163694379.post-78652778933133797582017-07-18T17:32:16.236-07:002017-07-18T17:32:16.236-07:00I am guilty of 'staring' at service dogs, ...I am guilty of 'staring' at service dogs, well, actually ALL dogs. It's not to point out a disability in the person they are with. It's in adoration of the dog. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I do not approach them if they have on their service vest, though, because I know they are working. Other dogs I will approach and tell the owner how pretty their pup is, and I always ask before I pet them. I also teach my grandchildren to check first before they pet a new dog. Ee have not encountered a service animal yet, but when we do, they will also learn the rules with them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01600744998899487804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819225097163694379.post-69411633372269380002017-07-14T18:27:41.678-07:002017-07-14T18:27:41.678-07:00Most professional programs already proof the dog&#...Most professional programs already proof the dog's to distractions.

A serious question--dogs are trained to do so many amazing things while "on duty" for a very diverse group of disabilities and challenges that people have, and learn very well. Can organizations who train these dogs train them not to respond or be distracted by stranger's hands petting them; train them not to take treats from strangers? It would seem that this would help a lot, (along with educating the public not to respond). It is such a natural response for many of us to be drawn to any dog, with friendliness and affection (hence the query--can I pat your dog?)--it might be easier to train a dog to respond to only your commands and needs, and to remain alert and stoic when petted, than train the thousands of people that one runs into every day?? Just a thought. Also--it is so much easier to ignore a service dog when they are brightly caped or identified in some really obvious way, although I don't know if that that signals to the few bad apples out there, here is a vulnerable person.... Maybe the "ignore" training would come in handy there too, as a dog wouldn't have to be so clearly identified to keep people away. Just a few thoughts and questions.jd1694https://www.blogger.com/profile/13722470378191619313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819225097163694379.post-76798706633123984782017-06-21T07:47:32.340-07:002017-06-21T07:47:32.340-07:00Ok, i have a question, When I see a service dog I ...Ok, i have a question, When I see a service dog I usually say something more at the dog, like "hi puppy!" or "thats a beautiful dog." I do not approch or try to pet or engage further I might talk conversationally about the breed or how well behaved it is. While I understand and laughed at the metaphor I would never greet someones breasts or tell them their breast were beautiful, well not at least on first meeting.
