    That’s not how that works. It’s the trained behavior that matters. There is zero credential requirement specifically because disability is highly correlated with poverty.

      That’s exactly how it works, what are you talking about? There are government requirements to be met for a dog to be considered a “service dog”. It’s not some made up term and has nothing to do with poverty, disability or anything else…

        Here’s the ADA government page. For Canada the only government page I can find is British Columbia which states you can train your own dog and after some paperwork do a test for the trained behaviors and public obedience.

        At no point is a credentialed trainer a requirement unless you’re thinking about a different country.

            The guy who made the claim had a .ca account. So I covered both countries.
