Hi! So... At the moment, I have a pug. I originally got her to be an Emotional Support Animal and she's been incredible at her job. However, along the way... I think I've begun to train her as a Service Dog. She helps calm me down when I'm having an anxiety attack (licking my face, pawing at me), and sometimes I "fake" my symptoms as training, so I can praise and give her a treat when she comes over to lick me. Do you think this qualifies as a Service Dog?
If you’re disabled and your dog is trained in tasks to help you with your disability, then your dog is a service dog. If your dog is trained to respond to your symptoms with behaviors that help you in some way, then it’s a task and your dog is a service dog.
