Shock collars cause our pets pain, anxiety and fear. That’s a proven fact. But what’s really at the root of the opposition is the bigger picture. It’s about understanding that animals are sinless and deserve to be treated compassionately. Their feelings are as real as ours. When we hurt them, they suffer. To understand animals is to respect them. Find an informed competent trainer who can help you understand your pets feeling and needs. Once that happens most problems disappear.

Dogs ALWAYS give warning signs. Before any growling or lip curls there are many stress signals that dogs show us....that too many humans ignore! Yawning, lip licking, whale eye - when you see the whites of their eyes - paw lift, hypervigilance, excessive panting, looking away or disegaging.....and these are just a few. Thank you to RotnDog Training for this excellent meme!

People need to work together to understand the differences between service dogs, emotional support dogs, and therapy dogs.

When non-service dogs abuse the rights that are offered to genuine service dogs, then people with true disabilities are the ones to suffer.

Understand that ONLY service dogs (dogs who are trained to perform a specific skill for a person with a disability) have public access to restaurants, stores, public transportation, and theme parks.

Emotional support dogs, while certainly providing comfort to people (technically aren't ALL animals emotional support to people?!) do NOT have rights to public access. Emotional support dogs have the right to reside in living spaces that would not otherwise allow pets.

Therapy dogs are those with special certification to visit people and provide comfort in hospitals, nursing homes, or other establishment. These dogs do NOT otherwise have access to public venues.

Unfortunately, business owners (and airlines) do not fully understand their rights in these situations.

1) A business owner IS ALLOWED to ask a person what skill their dog has learned or what service he provides. (They cannot ask what the disability is)

2) A business owner HAS THE RIGHT TO REFUSE entry or to request that a dog leave the premises --even a true service dog!--if they are disruptive or displaying inappropriate behavior. (True service dogs should not be barking, growling, lunging, pulling, jumping, or eliminating outside of toilet areas.)

3) ALL pets at airports who are NOT service dogs, must be in carriers at all times, except when at designated toileting or exercise areas provided by the airport.

**When people understand the facts, then everyone benefits.**

Get a dog, they said. It’ll be fun, they said. Think of all those great, social dog walks, they said. So why am I stumbling around a field at 4.30 in the morning? I’ve had a number of dogs over the years. All have had their distinct personalities, but all were fairly easy-going, and liked meetin...
