Can a Service Dog Go Anywhere a Guide Dog Can Go?
Yes!! The January 1, 1992, the Americans with Disabilities Act provides public access for service dogs as a reasonable accommodation for a person with a disability. Maryland statutes grant service dogs in training the same access and full legal rights as a fully certified dog. If you are a business or are working at a business, please note that it is ILLEGAL to refuse admittance to a Service Dog and their partner (and in some states, a Service Dog in training and their trainer).
