I also take mine everywhere because they are service dogs and are allowed access under the law into any public place. The places I get hassled are usually restaurants and the schools, but I carry a FAQ sheet now put out by the government about service dogs and their rights to access so I am educating businesses who are unaware of the law. There is a common misconception on the part of some businesses and the general public that ony "guide dogs" are allowed access under the law, but this is not the case...any service animal assisting a person with a qualifying disability is allowed full access under the law.
I saw a sign in a business yesterday that said "Registered Service Dogs Only" bu the law does not require that a service dog be registered so I thought it was wierd. Mine are registered with the Service Animal Registry of America and have ID cards with their picture on them just to make life easier.
