| Banjo has grown into a good looking dog. Not hard to like tri-colors.

I registered Banjo as a "Owner Trained Service Dog" - That means I or V_Key (As a Trainer) can take him any were with us (Like a Guide-Dog)
The County Registered him for free - "No Dog Licenses" - Banjo's OT Service Dog Lic # is "#5"
Sites on the Net want to charge up to $150 to do this and you'd still have to pay for Dog Lic.

If you can get old Banjo certified by Fema as a search and rescue dog, he can FLY free on most airlines. In his own seat no less. Been there and the airlines are more than happy to do it.
Now if I could just keep him from want to fight every dog he meets, we'd be in good shape.

I know as a "Service Dog" they can't turn him out of the cabin (as per the Department of Justice) - I don't know about the paying part...
The DOJ has rules that cover all this...

Banjo’s OT/Service Dogs 10-digit Service Dog code is 1269460331
This person is accompanied by Banjo a OT/Service Dog. This service dog is allowed to accompany this person in ALL places of public accomodation with NO exceptions. You do not have the right to ask questions of this person other than 1) Are you disabled? and 2) Is that a service dog? Once those questions are answered yes, you may not ask any other questions of this person that pertains to their disability and the skills or training of the service dog. Refusal to provide equal access to people with disabilities with service dogs is a federal civil rights violation, provided by the American Disability Act of 1990. |

What procedures did you have to go through to get the "service dog" certification?
I picked up my dog in Gulfport, Miss.-geez, it's been 8 yrs ago- as a "search and rescue" dog,came back through Memphis and Wichita, Ks. on Southwest without a hitch. Had to clear it with the airlines before though and the air port security people did a real job on me- boots off,ect. I haven't flown with him since so don't know if the regs are the same. The FEMA certification is very important.
I lost a dog shipping in a cargo hold once. Had an airline LOSE two dogs being shipped to me from Ireland through Boston to Kansas City. Found them 5 days later in Chicago.

Got an 8 week b/c coming from Idaho next thursday, her full brother is going to canada to be trained as a search and rescue dog, has an uncle already there workig as one.
Yes the short nosed breeds are not reccomended to be placed in cargo hold.
The health of your pet is important. Due to health risks, brachycephalic (shortnose) dogs/cats are only accepted for travel at owner's risk and excess valuation is not available. The following is a list of the affected breeds:
Dogs: American Pit Bull, American Staffordshire, Boston Terrier, Brussels Griffin, Bull Mastiff, Bull Terrier, Chow Chow, Dutch Pug, English Bulldog, English Toy Spaniel, French Bulldog, Japanese Boxer, Japanese Spaniel, Pekinese Pug, Shih Tzu, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Terrier, Bulldog, Pug, Boxer.
from Alaska Airlines
Traveling with Service Animals There is no additional charge to travel with a working service animal.
Travelers accompanied by a service animal may ship their animal's kennel as a checked bag free of charge.
Properly harnessed service animals may sit at the traveler's feet, unless the service animal is too large and obstructs an aisle or other area used for emergency evacuations.
We will make every attempt to seat a customer traveling with a service animal in a row with the most legroom.
Window seating is also recommended so the service animal is safe from foot traffic.
A harness, tag or vest indicating status as a service animal will be helpful in distinguishing them to airport personnel. However, credible verbal assurance that the animal is providing a service to assist with a disability will suffice, should an inquiry be made.
