What Is a Service Dog?
A service dog is more than a companion — it is a lifeline built on structure, reliability, and trust.
Service dogs are not the same as emotional support animals or therapy dogs. They are individually task-trained to mitigate a disability and must meet strict public access standards. That means demonstrating consistent, controlled behavior in real-world environments — not just in controlled settings.
Under federal law, a service dog must remain under the handler’s control at all times in public spaces. Reliability is not optional. It is foundational.
