It's like refusing to allow your children to leave the house to go to school, meet other kids and learn how to interact in the wild. They just grow to be people who sit home in the house and play video games alone on their phone and have a phobia about being outside in the sunshine, interacting with their peer
Very sad. They shouldn't have dogs. They should have "Teddy" bears. They can dress them up, have tea parties, play dates with other Teddy bears, take them to restaurants, store, on planes (no cages or quarantine required), and imbue them with any human qualities that they fantasize their dog(?) has. The best emotional support animal is one that doesn't have emotional or physical needs of its own. Quit torturing a living animal.
Get a "Teddy", or a few. They never need walkies, but will be happy to go with you, it you want to go. They will never have "an accident", but will gladly take the blame for yours. Teddy Bears. And they are not on the endangered species list, like the chocolate mousse.
