Maybe the service dog industry ought to take some responsibility for their
dogs, as it seems many  don't really point out and teach good dog management
skills; a friend's guide hThe good (and I hesitate to use that word)
scammers know which buttons to hit and what language to use. 
I think the service dog industry has two problems. First, they don't really
convey that good dog management lasts a lifetime. It isn't like writing a
line of code that won't need to change. 
Secondly, I think the service dog industry is terrible about integrating the
dog and human team with the rest of life. Their suggestions may work fine
for a human-dog team but forget the rest of the components, job, children,
hobbies. 
as been bitten twice at Independent Living Conferences--not good--and there
are a number of people passing their dogs off.
	I wonder how often people who scam businesses, can offer up the
right information when asked; emotional support dogs still aren't considered
under law, are they?

The ID's would help, but you can go on line and give them for a small fee.  
  
When I started seeing how people can just get a service dog id card for any
dog. I started worrying about what the fall out would be.  I am afraid that
soon we will go backwards, and no dogs are allowed anywhere. 
The service animals industry need to get together and come up with some way
to deal with this.  This way it can be done in a way to not make it so hard
for the people who use the animals.

maybe cci has a good idea, while id's won't solve all the problems they
would certainly help
