If you have a service dog, you don’t ask; you tell. There is no paperwork required for a service dog. If this dog provides for you a service or task that you cannot do on your own, then it is a vital addition to your life. IF it is an emotional support dog, please see a dr. to get confirmation of his need and keep the paperwork handy. There are businesses that have no idea what to do with a service dog so they make up their own rules. Go to ADA.gov and read the rules and regulations regarding service and support animials. and keep it tagged on your phone in case you need it. Best wishes to you.
ttacks and his task is pressure therapy during panic attacks if I am on the floor as well as grounding by licking my palm during anxiety attacks.
I reported the nurse to the hospital and then the charge nurse got me in a room right away and they administrator questioned me about if my dog was a service dog and apologized that maybe the staff is didn’t know – and even he didn’t understand what a psychiatric service dog was even with his printed laws on paper. They were nice and KNEW my SD should have been allowed.
I also called the discrimination reporting number and they called me back to ask me what happened and they were going to investigate. I just don’t know what to do now😐
Hi everyone, does anyone might have knowledge of an honest lawyer (firm), who practices service-dog discrimination within/nearby Napa, California?
My service-dog (psychiatric-PTSD) was denied access to the inside of a business, we were compelled to leave the business just because I was being accompanied by a dog. I kept elaborating on the why I have a service-dog, but this owner was so focused to disregard my ADA disability rights. I was compelled to remove my service-dog just because she is a dog. I had to leave my service-dog inside my car in order to retrieve my personal belonging which I left inside the business.
I have filed a Police Report, in the process to submit a DOJ complaint report, finally my intention is to carry-out a lawsuit toward this business order.
I am having trouble trying to find a lawyer who is honest and have successful outcomes.
Thank you for the help.
The days inn at 63 marco dr in decatur Alabama has a manger who threaten myself, my husband, and my service dog do to his breed.
He saidnif I didnt provide doctors papers for my dog he was calling the law and having myself and my husband for lying about my dog being a service dog.
Also told me that do to my dogs breed (he claimed “a pit bull” as the breed)
When my dog is in fact an American Pit Bull Terrier not a falsely labeled breed he count be a service dog and that he knew all the laws and rules there were to know about what the ADA allowed and didnt allow.
He was aggressive and irrational in his behavior.
My sister has a seizure alert service dog and has been kicked out of three different motels. One motel told her she could have her dog bit would have to pay an extra $20 every week to have her. My sister cannot be without her dog due to her seizures. How can people get away with this type of discrimination? One motel said no due to the fact that the owner of the motel just don’t like her.
I am being discriminated because I have emotional support dog for my seizure and anxiety
Everytime i go into the cheveron station and take my registored service dog with me the cashier starts talking down to me telling me that my dog isnt my service dog. I showed him her registration papers and he still tells me that he talk to a cop and hes going to have a crimnal tresspass warrent put against me and just bowing up on me wanting to just argue with me about something he talked to a cop about telling me she insnt my service dog over and over again.
I feel that I have been discriminate because of my service dog I am currently rented a place for a month the person that I rented from assure me that she was happy with me staying here and she said that I could stay 3 more months and two weeks after that she changed her mind leaving me with out a place to stay I guess that it’s because of my service animal she probably think that my dog will destroy her house in those 3 months she use to text me every day now she doesn’t and had ask me to move out and soon as my month is over and she keep on saying we don’t allow any guest with pets a service dog is not a petI don’t want to name the company that is associated with this rental I send an email to the ceo I wouldn’t want to open a case up
Service dogs are not required to be registered, as registration can be obtained online by anyone. The ADA does not require registration, and savvy business owners will suspect anyone who offers paperwork as “proof” that their dog is legitimate.
If you have a dog that provides at least one service or task for you that you yourself cannot perform, it is a service dog. Stop offering paperwork, because the businesses that have no clue are now asking for paperwork from the rest of us, and we don’t have it. You are not helping those of us who are following the ADA. Go to the ADA.gov website and read the rules.
Support animals do require paperwork. If you have an emotional support dog or therapy dog, get a dr. note.
We try to make it very clear throughout our website and articles that you cannot qualify for a service dog by registering it or obtaining an ID card or registration. The service dog paraphernalia we offer is for legitimate service dog owners who want these items to help signal to others that their animal is not a pet but a working animal. It is very common for service dog owners to have ID cards, vests and other accessories. It is unacceptable for anyone to pretend they have a service dog when they do not by showing these items.
I’m sorry you have to go through that.I have a service dog for my seizures. He is a alert dog. I was kicked out of a hotel and most recently Walmart.
