[nagdu] Legislative Consideration

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC Inc)]

This now has me thinking about those of you who have worked dogs with
behavioral issues. Laura and Dan S come to mind. Obviously, there is a
point where you know the dog has issues but retirement hasn't happened
yet. 
While I understand the "out of here, with that out of control dog" I'd
like to hear from those of you who have worked a dog with behavioral
issues. 
While writing this, I seem to remember that Jeanine mentioned working a
dog that became increasingly uncomfortable around other dogs? Am I
right? 
I'm just wondering if there's a kinder way to handle someone say in
Laura or Dan S's situations and what that might be.

Julie,

If this were then to be the new focus, it is not solving the issue of 
fraudulant service animals being passed off as legitimate ones.
However, it 
does get to the heart of the current issue at hand and one of the
conditions 
of responsibility of a service animal user...control at all times.
If then the focus now turns to developing legislation to penalize 
individuals for uncontrolled *service animals*, my guess is that this
would 
then become much more reffective to move through at the State level
versus 
Federal level, and perhaps drafting similar language through this 
organization *NAGDU*, and having consistent language would be the better

approach.
