Discrimination against legitimate service dog teams is widespread and systemic.

Gatekeeping within the service dog community is not just hurtful — it’s a systemic barrier that perpetuates stigma, exclusion, and harm. It often targets those with invisible disabilities, non-traditional service dogs, or alternative training methods.

Harassing, retaliatory, or biased use of this reporting feature is strictly prohibited. This includes attempts to discredit handlers based on personal disagreements, disability visibility, dog breed, or training method.

Submissions found to be abusive or discriminatory will be discarded. Users who misuse this system may be blocked from submitting future reports.

Please only flag a profile if you have a genuine concern based on clear facts — such as misrepresentation, unsafe behavior, or outdated information.
