Service Animals

Canines are not technically "searching" you, they are "screening" you. If they "hit" on you that gives the officer reasonable probable cause that you may have contraband on your person, and HE can then search you.

You do not specifically need a license to train dogs for any police work, but you will need a license from the DEA so that you can obtain the narcotics for training. You may also look for what are called Psuedo sents, which are the "same" to dogs, but you do not need a license to obtain, or have them.

A business may ask someone entering with a dog 2 questions. 1. Is this a service dog? If they say no, then out they go! If they say yes, then question 2 is: How is this dog trained to assist you? Answers such as "I have a letter for him", "You can't ask that" "He protects me" or "She comforts me are unacceptable. You may not ask to see any sort of paperwork, ask what the person's disability is, ask them to demonstrate their dog's tasks. These are the laws for fully-trained service dogs. State laws regarding service dogs in training vary by state and are not covered by the ADA.

(*EDIT BY MEMBER RW*)

From the 2011 ADA service animal revision, word for word

When it is not obvious what service an animal provides, only limited inquiries are allowed. Staff may ask two questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability, and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform. 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.

While many programs train their dogs to ride escalators there are many accidents each year involving sudden toe amputation. In the U.S., wherever there is an escalator there is also an elevator. It is generally safest to take the elevator instead to avoid risk of injury to the dog. All the Guides from Guide Dogs for the Blind are escalator trained. It is very easy to avoid problems with escalators with the proper training. Most blind or visually impaired folks who have Guides will use the elevators or escalators instead of the stairs due to the possible tripping and falling that can occur.

"Seeing Eye" is a trademark for The Seeing Eye, a guide dog training school in the U.S. It was founded in 1929. Only dogs trained by the Seeing Eye can properly be called "Seeing Eye dogs."

Guide dogs in general have been trained since at least as early as the middle ages.

Because they are companion animals, much like dogs and cats are. They can be kept as pets, ridden and worked as working animals helping humans get certain jobs on the ranch or farm done, or used in sport competitions. They are very commonly used for riding because of their strength and speed, as well as their intelligence. Horses come in a wide variety of colours, breeds, body shapes and sizes, not to mention individual personalities and quirks. They have this grace and beauty about them that makes them very likable, and have made them this way for over 4000 years.

You can NEVER ask a Service Dog handler, what disability they have.

There are only two questions that businesses may ask a service dog team.

1. Is that a service dog? or my favorite 'Is that your pet?', the answer should be service dog.

2. What task does the dog perform for you?

Valid answers vary: guide, hearing, medical alerts or for a medical condition.

This answer may be vague to hide the persons disability, as long as the dog is trained to do a specific task to assist the disabled handler the dog is a legal service dog.

The second question should only be asked if there are doubts to the validity of the dog.

ESA (Emotional Support Animals) and Therapy Dogs do not have ADA protections in public, they are trained pets.

Service Dogs are for the Disabled, period. The handler must be legally disabled to have the dog. Some states allow trainers public access. Pets posing as service dogs have stiff penalties in most states, up to 2 month in jail in FL.

Legally there are no Federal Requirements for certification or registration of Service Dogs. So technically it is not a legitimate website in that registering your pet dog on there does not automatically make them a Service Dog.

The rules changed quite recently regarding a number of different aspects of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The final ruling is as follows:

The rule defines "service animal" as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability. The rule states that other animals, whether wild or domestic, do not qualify as service animals. Dogs that are not trained to perform tasks that mitigate the effects of a disability, including dogs that are used purely for emotional support, are not service animals. The final rule also clarifies that individuals with mental disabilities who use service animals that are trained to perform a specific task are protected by the ADA. The rule permits the use of trained miniature horses as alternatives to dogs, subject to certain limitations. To allow flexibility in situations where using a horse would not be appropriate, the final rule does not include miniature horses in the definition of "service animal."

Veterans from WWI who were blinded in the war were sometimes partnered with German Shepherd guide dogs. The German Shepherd was particularly suited for this work because if his intelligence, size, trainability, and work ethic.

While there have been many different kinds of helping dogs informally trained over the centuries and around the world, the first organized dog training program to provide these guide dogs was founded in Germany. German Shepherd Dogs were ideally suited for the work, and they were developed in Germany. These dogs were bred for specific traits including a strong work ethic, loyalty, protectiveness, and the endurance to work long hours in order to work with a human shepherd to care for a flock of sheep. All of these skills also made them excellent candidates for the kind of work a guide dog needs to be able to do. Couple that with the number of soldiers blinded in the war and there was a ready supply of blind people as well as a ready supply of suitable dogs and trainers who knew how to produce highly trained dogs (for the military as well as for herding) and you have the birth of the modern guide dog. The oldest guide dog school still in operation, the Seeing Eye, was built on the model of the first guide dog school in Germany.

This answer is no. Neither businesses nor landlords of any kind can charge anyone extra because they have a service dog, under the law this is considered discrimination against people with disabilities.

Do Service animals in Training have the same access rights as fully trained Service Dogs?

It depends on which state you are in. The Americans with Disabilities Act, defines Service Dog, and discusses what access rights a Service Dog has--but is silent about Service Dogs in Training. Therefore, you will have to find your State laws which would define Service Dogs.

It is often hard to find those laws--because Service Dogs/in Training are often referred to in a term other than Service Dog/in Training. Also, state law portals can change. One site which attempts to keep up-to-date on Service Dog laws is here:
http://www.psychdog.org/lifestyle_statelaws.html

I would suggest that you read the laws for yourself--to see what the state law really says. There are sites (and booklets), which purport to cover each states law--but sometimes, those sites and booklets, leave out important information which is stated in the law.

Also, know that a Service Dog is a Service Dog is a Service Dog--it does NOT matter what your disability is--according to the ADA--A Service Animal is any animal individually trained to do work OR perform tasks for a person with a disability... [emphasis mine--possibly paraphrased].

Short answer: YES.

A Service Dog is used by a person with a disability as an Assistive Device--would the person be denied access if they were in a wheelchair? using a cane? using hearing aids? They wouldn't, therefore access for the person with a disability using an assistive device should not be dis-allowed due to the nature of the device (being a Service Dog).

However, if the non-profit timeshare is a religious entity (a church or associated buildings), the answer becomes more problematic, and not easily answered through Answers.com. It would be best to look for legal guidance.

Service animals and therapy animals are different from house pets, and must be considered by the association is special ways.

The Americans with Disabilities Act considers therapy animals differently from service animals.

Your association may have written guidelines about service animals and therapy animals in order to govern them. Their job is to make living in the community comfortable for residents.

Take your case to the board and explain the need for the second animal, discuss it, and then ask the board to include the matter in the board meeting minutes with a vote.

Yes. Yes they do. At the end of a race a "hot" horse will pee to help cool themselves down. They are exerting tremendous energy, rather like a car engine, and the harder they run the hotter they get. The term is used to describe the relief of going when they have a full bladder, since race horses appear to save up their urine for such an occation, and since their stomach is huge and they drink a lot , they, understandably, will pee about ten liters a day. Hope that answers your question. =]

There is no requirement for general service dogs. Guide dogs are usually medium size breeds between 30-80lbs.

Dogs are highly biddable (enjoy working for people) and trainable. They are readily available and easily cared for. Dogs are capable of performing many useful tasks to help their disabled owners. They are more socially accepted than most other domesticated animals.
