In reply to Vicki Wasson. Emotional support animals do not need specific training, they are intended to provide support through companionship. Like all animal companions however, ESAs should be trained to be well-behaved in all situations.

I have a 5 year old Shepard/lab mix. Can they be trained at that age to be an emotional support dog?

In reply to Amanda. Service dogs do not require a prescription. Landlords cannot charge pet deposits or pet rent for service dogs or emotional support dogs.

In reply to Rhonda. Your landlord cannot require you to take your ESA to work. They cannot ask medical information regarding your disability or why you need your ESA.

I just submitted my letter to my landlord. They responded by asking me if I would be taking my ESA to work with me to help me with my condition. Can they ask this? How should I respond?

In reply to Tim. You are not required to register your ESA dog with any outside organization. Your medical information is private and should not be shared with anyone but you and your doctor. Your future and current boss cannot inquire about your medical records or information.

If I register my pup as a ESA dog, does that make me a disabled person? For example, do I have to list or declare myself as mentally handicapped or disabled when i apply for jobs and such?

In reply to Vicki toney. If your dog is an emotional support dog, you would be allowed to bring her onto an airplane. Some airlines may require an additional document to be filled out and signed by your therapist/doctor.
