Document a psychiatric disability with a Georgia-licensed professional — the foundation for a task-trained service dog under the ADA.
In Georgia, the difference between an ESA and a psychiatric service dog comes down to one thing — task training — and it changes which laws protect you.
An emotional support animal comforts by presence and is protected for housing only. A psychiatric service dog is individually task-trained for a psychiatric disability and carries full ADA public access — stores, transit, and workplaces across Georgia. Housing protections apply to both.
Your letter — issued by a mental health professional holding an active Georgia license — establishes a psychiatric disability that substantially limits a major life activity: the clinical foundation beneath both your housing rights and your dog’s working role. Task training is arranged separately by you, and approved letters arrive within 10–15 minutes.
The letter documents your psychiatric disability; the dog’s task training is what carries ADA public access. Together they put Georgia handlers on solid footing.
No — and be wary of anyone selling “registration.” No registry, card, or vest is required in Georgia or anywhere else, and none of them make a dog a service animal.
$149 for up to two pets, or $229 for up to three — and you’re only charged if approved.
Yes — the ADA permits owner-training. What matters is that the dog reliably performs tasks related to your disability and behaves in public.
There’s no breed list; a well-trained Chihuahua qualifies as readily as a Labrador if it performs its tasks dependably.
