What are the Rights of Access?
Generallly, Pet Assisted Therapy Dogs do Not have the same right of access as Service Dogs. Service Dogs have access to transportation on buses, trains and planes. A person may have his Service Dog accompany him at work, school, or anywhere else he/she may go. They cannot be denied public housing or charged extra rent for their dog. Almost every state has an access law granting access to people with disabilities and their Service Dogs, Hearing Dogs, or Guide Dogs. The Americans with Disabilities Act is a Federal Law covering this same access. A person with a Service Dog, in return, is responsible for their dog’s behavior in public places. The Service Dog should be unobtrusive, quiet and, always under control. Other people should NEVER pet or distract a Service, Hearing or Guide Dog in public.
