Is there any protection for the public?
I am just curious because I was recently in my local market and a lady was in there in a wheelchair with a totally untrained dog that was pulling away from her and barking at people. It was pretty obvious to me it was probably not a service dog, but I looked online and saw pretty much what is posted here and it blew my mind. I really thought the dogs had to have certificates?? |
If the dog is causing a disruption it can be asked to leave the store. NYC requires a letter from the trainer (can be handler, but they prefer training experience) and the doctor and then the dept of health has to approve the request. My yorkie is number 3084 and that is in the entire NYC they don't just give it out here.
