A friend wrote an essay analyzing the connection between sexual assault and the bitesports community, with a focus on the culture of silence, power dynamics, and the lack of structural support for survivors. Milly left us with a final line:
Absent action, our community remains complicit in sexual abuse.

I was just told by guest services in target that service dogs in training are not required to be under control of the handler, and that my concerns about my safety and my SD’s safety were irrelevant despite the hound mix on a 20’ long line was in training and that I can’t make people leave if I don’t like them.
The service dog in question? A barking and lunging hound mix on a long line that was trying to drag the handler to my dog. They had to be over 30’ away from me before the dog calmed down. At no point was the dog closer than 10’ to the handler. This dog was clearly not under verbal or physical control of the handler. I told the handler to please control their dog, and they told me my dog was doing the same thing (pulling) by preforming forward momentum pull, on a hands free leash, in a heel. But ok.
I called the location and told the staff member that the ADA requires the dogs to be under basic control of the handler and a dog lunging and pulling on a long line is not that. She said the dog is in training and I have to understand that training takes time and the dog is young. I said if a dog is lunging and barking at me, it is endangering me and my dog. If I have a cardiac event and my dog is too distracted to alert, I could fall and hit my head. On tile? That could be a concussion or worse. It’s happened to me before. The representative hung up on me.
I called corporate immediately after and I think I heard the corporate equivalent of “oh god oh fuck”. In under 2 minutes I was connected to a guest experiences manager who basically comped my purchase in gift cards and said they are very concerned about this behavior from their staff. I offered to provide educational materials to the store that educates them about their rights as employees and how to handle poorly behaved service dogs.
The gift cards are nice, but they don’t fix the problem. I would rather be assured what steps will be taken to correct this in the future.
Service dog laws exist to prevent my dog from missing alerts by educating the public what may be disruptive to a dog’s ability to work.
When you fail to protect service dog laws, public spaces can become very unsafe for the disabled very quickly.
Please boost this, people need to understand that fake service dogs and untrained dogs presented as service dogs are dangerous to people who rely on task trained service dogs for their safety every day.
Per federal service dog laws in the USA from the ADA FAQ.
SDITs Do not have the same protections as fully trained service dogs. If your dog struggles with polite and predictable behavior in public, your dog is not ready for PA
Target has decided they will not be transparent about whether they will be addressing this issue and implementing actionable change. They will not confirm if the training will be changed, or if their employees will be given better information on how to protect disabled customers in the future.
If you feel that this is not acceptable like I do, I urge you to voice your concerns to Target directly. I have asked them to provide better education to their staff to prevent this and help remove out of control service dogs and fake service dogs from their stores.
This is not only dangerous to service dog handlers, but every single guest who comes to shop. What if a fake service dog bites a child? What if they over-enthusiastically jump on a senior citizen and knock them to the ground.
Target corporate can be reached at @asktarget on Twitter and at 1(800)440-0680
IF YOU CALL PLEASE DO NOT BERATE THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. This situation is not within the power of individual guest services representatives, and they do not have the ability to implement changes. Their job is to pass the complaint on to someone who CAN make changes.
PLEASE communicate with the understanding that mobs with pitch forks are not the most persuasive approach for encouraging change. Please be kind but firm. You are talking to a human.

my favorite joke on tumblr.com is hearing about a man that I have definitely seen kick a 10-week-old puppy with my own eyes preaching kindness and compassion in training

Life update: I resigned from my job due to shitty workplace politics that were out of my control, and still do equine consulting independently + stay in touch with my mentor and colleagues. However, I’m taking a break and going back to school + taking time off to just get outside more and enjoy life.
It sucks that this pandemic happened the way that it did, because Wonder and I were going to take on the Colorado Trail this year before everything went haywire. One day!
In the meantime, my dogs are happy, my horse is happy, my relationship is happy, my friendships are happy, and I’m struggling-but-happy. This is a very welcome change and new chapter in my life. I can’t wait to see what’s in store!
BTW: I hope y’all are prepared for this blog to just become a spam dump from my dirtbag adventures.
Just dirtbaggin' like my life depends on it
