[QUOTE=NotGolfer;2150082]True service dogs have to go through special training (it's also expensive)! "IF/when" they pass it people will be able to observe them in that they respond to their human's prompts. IF in a restaurant they will lie under the table, out of the way. IF walking with a leash, they will "heel" with their human. The rest of us should not pet them unless given permission. Too many people have selfishly (yes it's selfish) pushed the limits to bringing their family pet everywhere. I've seen them in medical clinics too----which is deplorable (pets NOT service animals). I love animals but that's what they are----NOT our "kids"!!![/QUOTE

There are of course the cheats. The ones who buy counterfeit service dog vests. A misbehaving service dog is an imposter because it is obvious it is untrained. Managers and business owners who will inconvenience the many to not confront one person just compound the problem
