You can't have a service dog at all. We know that the service dogs are trained to do a job for their owner.There is no such psychiatric service dog.There is Therapy Dogs which go to hospitals, nursing homes and schools for handicapped people. If you need a service dog, then you should work with a legitimate service dog training organization that will train and place a dog with you.

NO such thing

You are not disabled so you can't have a service dog. You already have a dog you tried to make into a fake service dog and now you want another dog to be a fake service dog.

You can't have a service dog at all.

Its her house, her rules, she doesn't want any more dogs in her house

There is no such thing as a Psychiatric Service dog.

There is Therapy Dogs which go to hospitals, nursing homes and schools for handicapped people.

Service Dogs which are trained to do a job for their owner, such as picking things up, turning lights on and off, alerting others of seizures, and so forth. Allowed everywhere.

Guide Dogs which are trained to guide their blind master around to keep them from being injuried. Allowed everywhere.

Then there is Emotional Support Dogs which in essence is nothing more then pets and have no special training. Allowed nowhere.

First two requires Doctors proof that person is disabled.

EMS dogs need no doctor verification because they are pets.

Service and Guide Dogs cost up to $50.000.00 dollars to train and to aquire.

EMS dogs cost of dog from breeder or shelter.

So which type of these dogs do you require.

You got the dog to do a job, it can't do that job. Since 90% of owner-trained service dogs can't hack it, how many are you expecting your mother to put up with feed, vet, etc while you try to figure this out?

If you need a service dog, then rehome the dog that you have and then work with a legitimate service dog training organization that will train and place a dog with you instead of trying to "DIY" again.

The dog always needs to be supervised when indoors. Every time the dog goes to the toilet in the house, and he is not caught and corrected, the behaviour is reinforced and he will think it is acceptable behaviour.

• Take your dog on lead to the area where you would like him to relieve himself

• Use the word “toilet” when the dog is going to the toilet so he learns to associate the word with the action

• Reward with high praise and a treat reward so this behaviour is keenly repeated by the dog

• If the dog tries to jump and play with you ignore this behaviour until the dog focuses on sniffing the ground and starting to cue for the signs of relieving himself

• Remember to be patient – as this may take time

• If consistent, in weeks to a couple of months you should be able to do without the lead and your dog should be able to relieve himself on cue when hearing the command “toilet”

As prevention is better than cure; get in the habit of closing doors and not allowing your dog free access to areas that are unsupervised. NB: Baby dividers between rooms and hallways can be very effective to keep dog out. It is interesting to note that carpeted rooms are attractive to puppies as they hold the scent particularly well.

Make sure your cleaning the urine up completely! There are a number of excellent cleaning products that you can now purchase from pet stores that eliminate the smell of urine or feces. If the pup can smell any urine or feces, remembering it has a much stronger sense of smell than us; it will encourage him to go again on the same spot.

If you are to catch your dog in the act simply give the “a-ah” command. Pick the dog up and place outdoors or on paper so that he can finish his deed there. Remember that if you do not catch the dog within 3 seconds of an undesirable act he will have no comprehension of what you are correcting him for. This may worsen his toileting habits as the dog will learn to be deceptive as he will now want to hide away.
