Service Dog and ESA Laws
Why We Created This Training:
With the rise in popularity of Emotional Support Animals (ESAs), many people are confused about the laws and etiquette surrounding therapy dogs, ESAs, service dogs, and other working animals. Often, service dog trainers and handlers encounter situations where they are wrongly denied entry to public places or asked for “documentation” or “licensing” of their service dogs. This confusion can lead to violations of state and federal laws, resulting in serious consequences for individuals and businesses:
- Complaints and Lawsuits
- Fines and Penalties
- Public Image and Reputation
As experienced service dog trainers and evaluators, we have developed an educational session designed for self-training individuals, businesses, governmental agencies, Airbnb hosts, and landlords. This session aims to clarify these laws and best practices, ensuring compliance and fostering a more inclusive environment. Contact us today to arrange a training session for your team!
Our training is designed to be accessible and informative, helping participants understand their legal responsibilities and the importance of accommodating service animals and ESAs. By promoting proper education, we aim to reduce misunderstandings and support the rights of individuals with disabilities.
