One of my friend only carries the official harness because of places like this that don’t consider them to be “real”…

That’s really smart of your friend, because most ESAs (in my experience) aren’t actually trained to be a real service animal. I’ve interacted with so many “ESAs” that are just their regular pet that their anxiety won’t let them leave them at home.

I have trailed my dog to help settle my stress and anxiety in certain ways. He has his service dog vest that I never really use. He isn’t currently certified as a Support Animal but I could very easily if I so choose. The only places he really comes with me is places that just allow animals in the store 365 days of the year (A national Hardware store in Canada, Canadian Tire, allows dogs at all times of the year).
