Make sure you don't have a dog like this.

 

That's one mean looking image!

First off, you don’t liscense a service dog. No such thing as a liscense or certificate. The certificate is just a diploma from the school that did the training. And if you train the dog to be a service dog she would go with you and not be left behind. I rescued a boxer about two years before I wentfull time. She was about a year old when I rescued her. Trained her myself to be a service dog. After I recooperated we went full time. She was already house trained. Leaving her in the RV is no different than leaving her in the house. I just make sure I do leave her too long and let her out as soon as I get back, just like at the house. She’s good for an 8 hour day just like when I was working. 

We have no issue with leaving the dogs in the trailer in the same way we don't have an issue leaving them at home alone.  Once trained and they get accustomed to the RV, it's just another home.  We spent a lot of time with them in the RV right at home.  When I'd work on it, I'd take them out there, so they'd see it's "ours" and they belong.  We also put their two favorite dog beds in there.  Now if you open the house door and the TT is outside, they run right into it ready for a trip.  They don't ride back there while moving, but they don't really get that part, they just think it's home.
