What is a Service Animal?

It is important to understand the exact definition of a service animal, as only service animals have legal protections under the ADA, unlike emotional support animals (ESAs). Service animals are permitted to be with their owners in almost all public places and accompany their owners through day-to-day life. According to the ADA, the definition of a service animal is a dog that is "individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability." These disabilities can include things like psychological disorders, mobility impairments, or medical conditions.

While training a mobility assistance or medical service animal can be very challenging to do on your own, training a psychiatric service animal can be done by most pet parents. These dogs are often trained to interrupt self-harming behaviors, flashbacks, and panic attacks through tactile stimulation and deep pressure therapy.

The Benefits of Having a Service Animal

You Can Bring Your Service Animal Nearly Anywhere

Service Animals are granted full public access rights. This means you can live with them in "no-pet" policy housing, bring them inside restaurants, hotels, Ubers, etc.

Service Animals Fly For Free

Avoid Pet Fees and Deposits

Service Animals are exempt from all pet fees, pet rent, and pet deposits.

No Breed or Weight Restrictions

Frequently Asked Questions

To give you all the info you need before you begin our service dog training program, we've gathered the answers to the most common questions here.

A service dog, according to the Americans With Disabilities Act, is any dog that has been specifically trained to perform at least one task to assist their handler with the symptoms of a diagnosed disability, including mental health disorders, mobility issues, or vision impairments.
Service dogs are granted significant rights over companion animals because they are deemed medically necessary. They’re allowed public access, including the ability to fly with their handler for free in an airline cabin, and can live in any housing regardless of pet policies.
Yes, as part of their public access rights, service dogs are allowed to fly with you for free in the cabin of any airplane. Your service dog must be well behaved, able to resist relieving themselves inappropriately for the duration of the flight, must not be aggressive, and must be under your control at all times.
As long as you have a diagnosed disability with a minimum of one symptom that could be helped by a service dog, you may qualify. You’ll need to speak with our doctor or licensed mental healthcare worker in order to know for sure if a service dog is right for you.
A service dog is trained to perform specific tasks to mitigate symptoms of a disability. However, an ESA helps their human through their presence - not trained tasks. Both are granted housing rights in all properties, but only service dogs have public access rights.
Any dog with a temperament well-suited to the training can become a service dog, regardless of size, age, or breed. Plus, service dogs are exempt from all weight or breed restrictions set by landlords or public spaces.
Yes, your service dog legally must be allowed to live with you in any housing, including college dorms, regardless of any no-pet policy or breed or weight restrictions. They also are exempt from pet rent, pet fees, or pet deposits.
Legally speaking, these accessories are not required. However, many handlers find using these tools make it more clear to others that their pup is a working dog, which may help prevent confrontations or prevent strangers from attempting to pet the dog while working.
A psychiatric service dog is simply a type of service dog that has been trained to perform a task that helps a handler mitigate the symptoms of a mental health disorder. Legally, they are treated the same as any other service dog and enjoy all their same rights.

What Is the Difference Between an ESA and a Psychiatric Service Dog?

While an ESA requires no specific training and helps their handler by their simple presence, a PSD must be trained to perform at least one task to help mitigate the symptoms of a mental or emotional disability.

Because a PSD is legally considered a service animal, they have more legal rights than an ESA. While both animals are legally required to be able to live with their handler in any housing, a PSD is also granted public access. This means they can accompany you in shops, at your workplace, and can even fly with you for free in the cabin of an airplane.
