[Mt-blind] service dog training schools in Montana

[Daniel Burke]

There's nothing in the law that I remember about legality of service dog
training.  Let me emphasize as has been before, that service dogs and guide
dogs are not the same thing, and state law with respect to service dogs is
deliberately vague about the training and what may constitute as a service
dog or the service they may provide.  Guide dogs, on the other hand have
very specific training to guide, without exception.

I offer all of this to say, that this is a pretty well dead mule, and quite
worn out with all the worry we've given it besides.

Hello,
Was the college mentioned where Kayla is quote unquote training her dog, is 
this legal?
If not,
Then no support of any kind should happen for her on the dog matter.
Very interesting.
Thanks for sharing.
