[NAGDU] Delta bans kittens and puppies as support animals on all flights and all emotional support animals on longer hauls

Cindy,

Puppies that young are typically not exposed to anything as stressful as 
airplanes.  typically really young puppies are learning things like 
housebreaking, to walk on different surfaces, to be okay around different 
sorts of people, and to not whine for their mamas and littermates.  Training 
should be age appropriate, and IMO plane travel training is not age 
appropriate.

Of course there is the issue of transporting puppies to/from puppy raisers, 
trainers or breeders.  That is an entirely different issue though, as the 
dog is not being presented as working for the handler or being in the 
process of being formally trained.

My only concern was where it says service or support animals under four 
months of age. If  you are training a guide, how old are they when you 
actually start. Under four months seems young, but I am not sure it is.

Nope. Emotional support animals are not service dogs, and are not covered 
under the ACAA. Why would they do this? Couldn’t have anything to do with 
the huger spike in the number of people flying with badly behaved emotional 
support animals…Nah…has to be something else.
