Service Dog

ChestersDad

Hi All,

I have Autism and ADHD and have my pooch with me most places, to keep me on the right track. Places say no dogs except service dogs and being a Chief Masker (self-declared title, can be used by others concurrently) sometimes, if I am asked, I just just say "He's my service dog" like I am used to being asked. 

I could actually do with him around for meltdowns and issues so I would love him to become an 'actual' service dog so I don't have to feel bad. I've looked online and can't really see much about getting your pet officially one and so I'm wondering if anyone has any tips, please? 

If it is that you can't actually register one, then am I okay to keep calling him one? 

Any advice, please? 

Thanks

    Some people have begun a register in the hope of putting pressure on the UK government to give emotional support dogs recognised privileges, similar to those of guide dogs or autism assistance dogs, which would allow them to accompany people on flights, to hospitals appointments and to other places that don’t normally allow dogs. Currently, it doesn’t give you and your dog any rights other than those you already have.
