Otto - Registered- Service Dog ADI cert. - the only one- that matters!     Barked: Wed Apr 17, '13 6:04pm PST  Sorry, haven't researched this, but title II and title III of the ADI states that "entities must permit service animals to accompany people with disabilities in all areas where members of the public are allowed to go". Seems to me that the a jail isn't an area that the "public is allow to go" - at least not without restrictions. I thought that all US government buildings (post offices, etc) can deny access. I'm mainly out of the country these days, but did the laws change that much while I was gone? my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Otto - Registered- Service Dog ADI cert. - the only one- that matters!     Barked: Wed Apr 17, '13 5:56pm PST  Ditto what Happy said. In addition, some dogs will pull a wheelchair - some won't. If your dog isn't happy doing it, you shouldn't make them! That's the downside of having a dog you already own being designated a SD - you can't specify what your needs are. PLEASE, have a health clearance (x-rays, etc) for your dog before you try to get them to be a mobility assistance or pulling dog! my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Service & Therapy Dogs > Service dogs and tax deductions in Canada

Otto - Registered- Service Dog ADI cert. - the only one- that matters!     Barked: Mon Feb 4, '13 2:07pm PST  Specifically, I received a notice from Revenue Canada that in order to allow the expenses incurred by Otto, "we need proof the animal has been provided by an organization, one whose main purposes is the training of such animals." Interesting, since I'm unaware of any federal laws about any kind of assistance dogs, only provincial laws. Since Canada Revenue is Federal, I'm wondering what they base their requirement on. I get the credit for a person with a disability and have taken Otto's expenses off for years. This is the first year I got this request. As of now, they are not allowing the deduction but if they "receive additional information at a later date, we will review your return for a possible adjustment." my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Service & Therapy Dogs > How tall should a mobility dog be?

Otto - Registered- Service Dog ADI cert. - the only one- that matters!     Barked: Wed Sep 19, '12 2:23pm PST  Unfortunately, Scruffy, we are talking about "mobility" here, where size - of both the dog and the handler - are very important for the well being of both. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Service & Therapy Dogs > How tall should a mobility dog be?

Otto - Registered- Service Dog ADI cert. - the only one- that matters!     Barked: Tue Sep 18, '12 2:21pm PST  How large are you? I'm not only talking height but weight. I've seen some pretty hefty people using SDs for mobility work. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Service & Therapy Dogs > please help clarify this

Otto - Registered- Service Dog ADI cert. - the only one- that matters!     Barked: Mon Aug 20, '12 12:33am PST  Looks like Texas doesn't grant public access to SDITs who are owner trained. To stay within the law, do your training in pet friendly places or ask permission to train in certain places. Once your dog graduates to full SD status the ADA takes precedence and it won't matter who trained your dog. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]

Otto - Registered- Service Dog ADI cert. - the only one- that matters!     Barked: Sun Aug 19, '12 12:01pm PST  Swimming is great, but to build muscle mass you should try to find somewhere that does an aqua treadmill. Just what it sounds like - walking a treadmill with different levels of water. It can work wonders, and uses muscles swimming doesn't touch. Otto does both. my posts | my page | msg me | my family's posts | gift me | become pals [notify]
