Example from work

When
I was working at Capital One, there was a manager named Abby that
I worked with who was highly allergic to my dog Nox. So to make things easier
on the both of us, I would ask the night cleaning crew to vacuum often in my
area to prevent dander.
Although it is in the ADA requirements for a service dog to be properly groomed, and he was, I wanted to do everything possible to make it easier for my co-workers to not be disturbed. While he was still in training, I would bring him up to the office on days with less or no one working to have him get used to an office environment at a young age. Since this was done when he was only a few months old, he now knows when he’s in his vest, and especially in an office to be calm, quiet, and collected because as his handler, it makes me less stressed and easier to focus at work with my service animal by my side. |

Service Dogs and Emotional Support Animals under the
law. Psychiatric Service Animals are for disabilities such as PTSD, suicide
prevention, Autism, Anxiety, Panic Disorders, etc. Emotional Support Animals

Difference from a support dog

A Therapy
Dog is a dog who goes into places to bring joy to other people such as
patients in hospitals or nursing homes. Therapy Dogs are there for OTHER
people and their sole purpose is to make people other than the handler happy.
They often go into hospitals and visit the children's ward, or nursing homes
to visit the residents there that were forced to leave their pets behind when
moving into the nursing home. Therapy Dogs MUST be certified (usually through
TDI - Therapy Dogs International) and must always ask permission from the
establishment before entering the building.
