[nagdu] I encountered a fake service dog today.

Sat May 9 23:09:22 UTC 2015

Addressing just the aspect of barking and being a nuisance in the 
store...dogs act differently in different situations.  Both of my dogs will 
bark in the house.  Someday it's quite a lot, but in public they do not 
bark. I haven't left either in the truck, but I suspect if I did, they would 
bark in there too.  It's a matter of knowing what's work appropriate and 
what is home appropriate.  Just like kids are expected to conduct themselves 
differently at home, at school, at church and at the doctor's office.  It's 
something that is learned.  So just because the dog was barking in the car 
doesn't necessarily mean it would bark in the store.  This is of course 
leaving off a bunch of details like if it's even legal to be in the store 
and service dog training and on and on.

This reminds me of something that happened to me last week. My apartment 
building was having plumbing problems, so the water was turned off for 
several hours. I had to go to the laundromat. As we got out of my Mom's car, 
this little Chihuahua type dog was in the car next to us. He was barking 
like crazy and trying to get out of the window. My Mom said there was a 
person in the car too, and they didn't try to correct the dog. My dog just 
ignored him... Then, about 15-20 minutes later this woman comes up to me 
asking me about service dog training. She then goes on to say that her 
service dog is a barker, and then we realized that the dog she was talking 
about was the one in the car. We told her to try basic obedience training. 
My question is this, if it really was a service dog (like she claimed) then 
why was it left in the car? Although, I am glad that she didn't bring him 
inside since he would have been a big nuisance.

   I was in the grocery store today and this elderly couple had a poodle 
type dog in their grocery cart. The dog spotted Neechee and went 
nuts,Barking and growling at Neechee. It almost jumped out of the cart. It 
had a red vest on but no patches on it. It did not say service dog on the 
vest either. I was so proud of Neechee as she just guided me past the unruly 
dog,and ignored it.The woman kept yelling at the man to jerk it's leash to 
shut it up.As I past them I said ,loud enough for them to here,that is no 
service dog! Service dogs don't act like that! They said nothing.Last week I 
saw a man bringing a small puppy in to the grocery store, My friend Dave, 
said the puppy looked like it was too young to have had any of it's shots 
yet.No collar or leash on it. Frys Grocery refuse to do any thing about 
these situations. I have talked to them many time,still
they refuse to do anything.   GRUMBLE,GRUMBLE, GRUMBLE!!!    Mardi and
Shaman,retired and Neechee.
