service dogs cost 10-30k. its genuinely disgusting to act like its ablest to “fake” having a service dog when 90% its a homeless person trying to exist in public/someone low income. fucking gross
I don't think Service Dogs have to be trained by a professional trainer who you have to pay thousands to. I am currently owner training my own dog. The only reason I said that 'just because someone is disabled doesn't mean they have the right to fake a service dog' is because my dog was almost attacked by an untrained dog a wheelchair user had in a store. Not only is it illegal to have an aggressive service dog where I live, but it's very dangerous.
I'm not sure if I understand that second part, but no matter what the income is, a dog can still be trained. I don't think it's exactly 'ableist', but just inconsiderate towards real handlers who have put in the hundreds of hours of training to have public access rights, no matter what their status is.
