>The ADA makes it unlawful to require proof of a disability or identification for a service dog. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, there are no requirements for licensing, certification or identification of service dogs. Also, service animals are not required to wear special collars, vests or harnesses.
I never really knew about this. Technically you could just bring your dog into any business and claim its a service animal when asked. If the dog is being unruly businesses can exclude you, but it would be an ADA violation to refuse entry. Quite interesting.
- m-ee 6y agoThey are allowed to ask if the dog is trained to perform a specific task which would differentiate a guide dog or medical alert dog that can’t be refused entry from an emotional support animal that can.
- kart23 6y agoThey're not allowed to ask you/the dog to demonstrate though. Someone could just say yes or make something up. It's lying, but the business can't really do anything about it. > Staff cannot ask about the person’s disability, require medical documentation, require a special identification card or training documentation for the dog, or ask that the dog demonstrate its ability to perform the work or task. https://www.ada.gov/service_animals_2010.htm https://www.ada.gov/service_animals_2010.htm
