The ADA does not require disabled people to put an identifying markers on their trained service dogs. But those who do not identify their service dogs in some manner often get many access issues or people invading their privacy.

The ADA defines a service dog-any 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 other mental disability. Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not service animals for the purposes of this definition.The work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the individual´s disability. Examples of work or tasks include, but are not limited to, assisting individuals who are blind or have low vision with navigation and other tasks, alerting individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing to the presence of people or sounds, providing non-violent protection or rescue work, pulling a wheelchair, assisting an individual during a seizure, alerting individuals to the presence of allergens, retrieving items such as medicine or the telephone, providing physical support and assistance with balance and stability to individuals with mobility disabilities, and helping persons with psychiatric and neurological disabilities by preventing or interrupting impulsive or destructive behaviors. The crime deterrent effects of an animal´s presence and the provision of emotional support, well-being, comfort, or companionship do not constitute work or tasks for the purposes of this definition.

Service dog handlers should always be prepared to answer the following questions:

A public accommodation may ask if the animal is required because of a disability and what work or task the animal has been trained to perform.

The huge majority of companies that sell ID cards, certifications, and registrations are complete scams and their "paperwork" is absolutely worthless!

Some states require certain types of service dogs to wear certain colors. Such as Tennessee requires hearing dogs to wear orange. The ADA overrides this, the dog can wear any color or nothing.

Some states require service dogs to have a state issued ID or tag. The ADA can override this but then the handler will not have the backup of local police in access issues. For example, California requires a tag issued by your local dog licensing bureau for service dogs and service dogs in training. Service dogs may bypass the dog but then the local police are not required to back them up in an access issue. The problem with this is that some counties don't know the law and they don't give out the tags. The other problem is that some counties give them out like candy and any person willing to lie and and break the law can get one.

It is illegal to fake a service dog in most states. Jail time and/or large fine.

No, however they can ask the Service Dog user two question. 1. Is this a Service Dog required because of a disability? and 2. What tasks does the dog do to help mitigate the disability?

Please keep in mind, though there is no proof required, faking a Service Dog can come with up to a year in jail.

I would not agree with this statement. There are many powers and actions that, while not expressly prohibited, are also not permitted or acceptable.

Are service animals in training permitted in public schools?

There is no federal law in the U.S. that gives service animal trainers the right to access public schools with their trainees. Some, but not all, states have such rights for trainers. However, they would only apply to the public areas of a public school, such as the gymnasium during a basketball game where any member of the public is permitted to attend. In order to take a trainee into private areas of the school, where the general public are not permitted, such as classrooms while school is in session, the trainer would need to get permission from the school administrator first.
