Still, what service does the animal perform? Again also, if the dog is
misbehaving, under the ADA the owners can and SHOULD ask her to remove the
dog. Business owners have rights too.

The woman says that she trained the dog herself and many people who know her
claim that the dog is not a service animal. Many are even skeptical about
whether she has PTSD. Needless to say this woman's reputation and past is
not the most desirable.
The dog barks in public, licks people's glasses, begs for food and licks
merchandise in stores. The dog also smells and has fleas or some type of
allergy that makes him scratch constantly.

What I have observed is that yes, it probably is a service dog. Having said
that however, I have met lots of people with ptsd who for some reason don't
require the dogs to behave!

Subject: [nagdu] Fake Service Dogs

Hello, In the last week I have been approached by two different individuals
at different times about a woman in town who has PTSD and has a service dog.
Their claims are that it is a fake service animal because of the way it acts
in public. It is a great dane and I have seen it in public before and I
would tend to agree. 

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to address this matter?

Miranda
