hi everyone! I know its been awhile since I've posted on here but my life got turned upside down last year and I've just kind of gone quiet trying to heal. my husband and I are getting a divorce, Wednesday will be our 26th wedding anniversary, kinda sucks!
I have a friend who use to train dogs. a friend of hers who is also a dog trainer just had a litter of puppies. my friend told her about me requiring a service dog and she said that she wouldtrain the dog for me suited to my needs. she is actually trained one of the dogs from the last litter to be a service dog for someone.
here's where I need some wisdom: the mother is a pitbull and the father is a boxer. they are both the sweetest gentlest dogs I have ever met & my friend said that they trained very well and for me, being not only disabled and in a wheelchair but now single living by myself, the dog would be not only a great service dog but guard dog because most people will look at her and go the other way!
I told my landlord last week that I was going to be doing this and he had no problems with it. Now he called me this morning and informs me that I am not going to be able to have that dog because it will make her her insurance go up. I get the whole stigma that's on pitbulls but I actually have met many that are the sweetest animals it's the owners that make them mean. this seems like a form of discrimination and can she do that? if the dog if certified as a service confused, if she is a certified service dog, can my landlord tell me I can't have it or make me pay extra each month for it?
