In my store, people come in all the time with various kinds of dogs. I am in Florida, but we are specifically disallowed to ask if the animal is a service dog. Wimpy spineless blobs up the ladder don't have the stones to let us tell these overly self entitled jerks to leave the dog at home if they can not behave. And to be fair, if the dog is not acting up, I am not really all that bothered by them being in the store. But these are dogs that pee on the floor, bark at other customers and generally act a nuisance. |
If your store has a sign up saying service animals only, they you have every right to ask if a dog is a service dog. You cannot ask what the individuals disability is, but you can sure ask if the dog is a service dog. One of the things that does for your business is decrease their liability incase someone brings in an untrained dog and it injures someone or breaks something. You may ask any dog that is not behaving well (whether a service dog or not) to leave your store. But they do need to have the sign up. |

I guess the store is worried that the two legal questions will be overstepped and they will be sued, so they forbid any questions. Federal law allows two questions, but some store policies forbid any questions and an employee can be fired for breaking store policy. |
I was just told at a store that my daughter's service dog is the "best trained they have ever seen." While that is great to hear since I am training him by myself, it is also disheartening because he has only been in training for 3 months. That means most the "service dogs" they see are not really SDs at all. Mario is no where near done with his training and he does not yet behave the way I envision him behaving in another year, yet he is the "best" they have ever seen?? |
