An Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is not an Assistance Service Animal. But an ESA is allowed to live (with the person that needs them) in public housing where pets are not allowed. They are usually allowed to fly in the cabin of aircraft with their person (must have letter from your doctor & notify the airlines). The ESA is not allowed in Public stores, resturants, or other places where pets are not allowed.
Along with basics of sit, stay, come, down... there is a Good Citizen Certification (even some Pet Smart trainers can do this.)
http://http://www.dogservicesunlimited.com/citizen.htm is just one site that lists what is required.
Basically, it means to be able to have your dog (animal) under control at all times...and that will make those around us not be offended by having them around.
Not all animals qualify as an emotional support animal. Just this month a guy who had a Rooster on South Beach lost his bid to keep him with him all the time, even though pretty calm. The guy moved instead of getting rid of his Rooster. (Even though they had biked around SoBe for years!)
