BENEFITS OF REGISTERING YOUR DOG AS A SERVICE ANIMAL:
"IS THIS A SERVICE DOG?"
"WHAT TASK DOES YOUR SERVICE DOG PERFORM?"
A PERSON WITH A DISABILITY CANNOT BE ASKED TO REMOVE HIS OR HER SERVICE ANIMAL FROM THE PREMISES UNLESS:
In the United States, it is essential that all offices, businesses, and other facilities allow service animals. Generally speaking, any place that allows members of the public to enter must also accept service animals. There are exceptions to this rule, however, and those include sterile environments. Places like an operating room or other areas of a hospital can deny entry to service animals because it would have a major impact on their ability to provide essential services.
Regardless of where you go with your service dog, it is crucial to your animal properly restrained. According to ADA regulation, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered. Exceptions can be made with dogs who must be unrestrained to perform their role but these service animals must be effectively controlled through trained signals.
While the ADA has created guidelines that protect the rights of people and service animals, those rules only apply when you are on the ground. When you are in the air, laws are governed by the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA).
The laws of the ACAA are quite simple and protect the interests of those with service animals.
According to the ACAA, service animals must be allowed onboard any aircraft free of charge and space must be made for any essential gear such as food, water, dog crates, or other crucial medical equipment. You should be aware, however, that service animals are not allowed to block the aisle, sit in the seat, or be in the emergency exit row as it could affect the safety of other passengers.
Airlines require you to fill out a form before taking a service animal onto a flight usually within 48hrs before departure. These forms have been created by the Department of Transportation and ask about your dog’s training. They also require you to sign that you understand that the airline can refuse transportation to you and your pet if the dog is aggressive or unruly.
It is vital to be aware that these regulations only apply to the United States. If you are traveling outside of the country, check local law.
For information or to file a complaint, contact the U.S. Department of Transportation, Aviation Consumer Protection Division: 202-366-2220
Staying in Airbnb accommodation is also intended to be easy for those with service dogs. According to Airbnb, a service animal is a “dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or mental disability.” Again, the services provided can vary greatly and include anything from helping blind people navigate to pulling a wheelchair to alerting people to allergens.
Airbnb hosts are required to accept service animals. Unless there is a particular health or safety concern that can reasonably explain rejecting service animals, Airbnb hosts must accept these animals are part of the company’s Nondiscrimination Policy. If a host finds the service animal’s behavior to be out of control or the dog is not housebroken, the host may request that the animal is removed. It is also important to note that hosts should not expect any service animals to be left alone on the property.
If you are an Airbnb guest, you are not required to notify a host that you have a service animal. The company does, however, recommend telling your host just for the sake of open and smooth communication.
As a guest, you should also be aware that hosts are not allowed to charge an extra fee or increasing the cleaning cost if you bring a service animal to the Airbnb property. It is also against company policy for hosts or Airbnb to require documentation for service animals. An Airbnb host can simply ask if the animal is needed to a disability and the animal is trained to provide essential service.
To understand service animals’ right to access housing, it is key to know that the Federal Fair Housing Act does not have an official definition of a service animal. Basically, if your doctor believes that a service dog is necessary for your condition, this is typically sufficient to access housing.
The Fair Housing Act’s protection of service animals is meant to be an asset to anyone with “physical or mental impairments.” Again, this is an undefined term that would be determined by a medical health professional rather than a housing agent.
The key thing to be aware of is that “reasonable accommodation” must be made for service animals. This means allowing service animals even in spaces where animals are not allowed. As these service animals are not actually pets, a “no pets” policy would not apply to them.
Registering with Slaters Service Dogs gives you a certificate that you can use for access to properties, airlines, and other essential spaces. When you sign up, they give you a photo ID, certificate, and an entry into the largest Service Animal and Emotional Support Animal database in the United States. They also have 24/7 legal professionals and support staff so that you can call anytime if you are having trouble gaining access to somewhere with your service animal. Keep in mind, however, that staff are only legally able to ask if the animal is needed for a disability and if the dog has been trained. While there is no legal need to offer further identification, you will certainly run into people who are simply unaware of these regulations.
Certifications are valid for up to 1 year.
According to the law, it is not necessary to have a vest, leash, tag, or collar for your service animal. However, getting official certification for a service animal can make your life easier. While it is not legally required, this identifying information can save you a lot of time. It is important to bear in mind that the staff of many businesses do not deal with service animals on a regular basis. This means that they are often unclear about the laws and how to identify a dog as a working animal. Simply carrying a certificate or having your dog wear identify gear makes it easier for everyone.
