Emotional support animals...
I was working on Sunday noticed this guy brought in a pit bull as a service dog... one of these days it’s going to turn ugly if someone gets nipped by a dog.

Nope, if I ever see someone walk in with a snake it's leaving without a head, I will lose my job before I am in a building with a live, loose, python, any snake for that matter

My store has weekends where the service training dog school all walk through the store to get socialized. And a guy who brings his two ferrets, they have little vests and leashes and lick your hands.

Service animals are allowed in buildings by law.

Legitimate service dogs are normally not pits because they don’t have the temperament for it...too distractible and once locked onto something they don’t listen.

1.) HomeDepot is Animal Friendly
2.) Service animals and emotional support animals are not the same thing
3.) Pitbulls can absolutely be trained service animals. Pitbulls are very often mix breeds, so they have a wide variation in temperament when compared with intentionally bred dogs. They make up the largest about of dogs in shelters in some areas. So programs that pull shelter dogs who past temperament testing will have a high number of Pitbull graduates.
Why did you make this post? Was the service dog actually misbehaving?

although most stores don’t enforce it, official policy is no pets allowed

No just speculating, there are people just buying the harness and stitching service dog on it.
I have seen other owners have certifications on the harness it self under a clear plastic with some embroidery patch.

pit bulls are hyper dogs but arent violent by nature, they are only when they are trained that way. and dogs are allowed in the builds anyway.

That’s...not true. OP is right to be concerned — pits tend to be too unpredictable, and they don’t tend to be real service dogs.

Yeah imagine that, being scared of a breed that was bread to fight bulls. If you've ever had to 'remove' a pit bull that's biting someone then you would be nervous as well around them

I'm a bot, bleep, bloop. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

Hmm someone is jumping to conclusions, if you look on the entrance to the store it says service animals welcome. Legitimacy of every dog that comes in being certified as a service dog, 🤔

Emotional support animals are also not service animals, and aren’t awarded the same legal protections.
However, the laws governing asking about and confirming disability are tough to get around, and in most cases, your store will never dispute a person’s claim that their dog is a service animal, no matter how ludicrous. On top of that, while the signage says that service animals are welcome, management in every Home Depot I’ve ever been in has been more than happy to have people bring their dogs in regardless, so there’s not much you can do.

That’s why delta just banned pitbulls as service animals on their flights and southwest just said all service animals need to be in a carrier or leashed on the owner at all times. Pits are a nuisance and are almost never deemed service animals because they’re too unstable
lol what
What part do you not understand?
the made up part
Um, I guess you don’t read the news. That’s been out for about a week
