[Nfbmo] Laws in Missouri for service animals

[Magoon Erin]

I agree carol. Even if you train your own dog there should still be some sort of licensing program

I have always said the ADA should let businesses ask us for our dog guide ID.  And you shouldn't have to go to a school in order to obtain a legitimate one!

All they would have to do it make sure it had basic obedience training. If you are doing this as a business, what assurance does a cient have that the dog is properly trained. Believe me no one likes someone looking over their shoulder but there should be some sort of standards that need to be met.
