I looked into this awhile ago because my mom has anxiety and I thought about making Veronica her service dog. Unfortunately reactive, occasionally hot-headed dogs are not service dog material.

However these links I came across may be of interest:

It seems that in order to qualify as a service dog under the ADA providing companionship in and of itself is not enough; the dog must be trained to do a particular task that assists the disabled person to function. This site (link above) breaks down several tasks that could benefit someone with a psychiatric disability.

Also possibly of interest:

yea they can't do that, its against the law no matter the state, I mean the service dog is even registered and that means they could end up with a lawsuit like Denver is dealing with...
