[NAGDU] Service dog license

[Nancy VanderBrink]

Dar,
Apologies, I forgot about those groups, didn't intend to.

I have to show ID when I go to get alcohol though...  and for things like writing checks and verifying my identity at the airport...

Wouldn't something like this help with 'fakers'? 

I wonder if there could even be some sort of accreditation process that you could go through if you owner  trained or had somebody help you train your dog to a group like IAADP?

It makes people with disabilities who use service dogs targets for anybody who wants to see identifiable information. Yes, to drive a car you need a license. But you are only requested for that license if you are driving erratically. Also, if a person chooses to owner train their dog, or if they're disability makes owner training the only viable option, they are at a distinct disadvantage.
