What to do with your Emotional Support Unicorn? - HUD's new Guidance on Assistance Animals
|
|
|
|
On January 20, 2020, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development published new guidance on
Assessing a Person’s Request to Have an Animal as a Reasonable Accommodation Under the Fair Housing Act
. The goal of the document is to provide both housing providers and persons with disabilities guidance on what is required to maintain an assistance animal in housing covered under the Fair Housing Act. As many of the current complaints involving the denial of a reasonable accommodation for a person with a disability in housing involve assistance animals, HUD felt considerable pressure to issue guidance, especially from the housing industry that believed that there was abuse of the Act when tenants would claim a disability as a means to keep their animal in a no-pets property. To a great extent, the guidance adopts existing case law with regards to assistance animals, with one glaring exception. HUD adopts a new classification of “unique” animals, which has no basis in either current law or regulation.

Hi everyone! It’s great to be back. 2019 was a very busy year, and 2020 is starting to take on a whole new theme for me. I’m excited to be a part of this newsletter and to have such an awesome platform for speaking my mind and sharing my thoughts about living life as a person with a disability…and living it to the fullest!
I figured a good way to get started is to re-introduce myself. My name is Lorinda, and I reside in Downtown, Miami, Florida. There are so many parts to the path of my life I could share, but most importantly I am at heart a writer - someone who loves the power of the pen and always goes back to writing as an expression of my experiences. One of the most impactful characteristics writing as a modality of expression is that supersedes all physical abilities. We all have a voice. We all have something to say. And regardless of your physical abilities, there is a way for you, too, to express your passion on paper.

The Importance of Training Your Dog.
If having a dog was easy, everyone would have one. Just because it is not easy does not mean it cannot be fun. What can make things easier and fun is training. The impact training has on a family and the relationship with their dog is significant. Both the dog and the family are happy because we can communicate and help guide them to success.
As a professional trainer for the past 11 years I have been given an opportunity to show a multitude of families what training can do for them and their dogs. Training is not just about doing commands such as sit, down, and stay. It is a time in which you learn about how your dog works and what works best for the two of you in order to come to the end goal; an obedient dog who enjoys being with their family. Most of all you will have a fun dog you can love, understand, and enjoy without being bitten upon, jumped on, and scratched up by. Unless you like those behaviors then that’s your decision. Training can also help in decreasing issues such as anxiety, stress, nuisances barking, potty training, running away, digging, and the list can go on.
