Just Got Asked to Leave Because I Have a Service Dog

[Noyka]

Karens your yippy toy dog isn’t a service dog you are why businesses do this to those of us who have legit needs.

This is the one way a place can and will piss me off.

This was a restaurant my dog did exactly as she is trained wemt under the table and laid on my feet. We were asked to leave even though they knew she was a service dog.

I am not a Karen, very little pisses me off when out but this shit does.

Just posted on our neighborhood news feed. We do not complain so I know we will be taken seriously.

this is the downside of not having to have service dog owners carry proof / identification. many people abuse the hell out of it and some business that maybe don't know the law do shit like this.

for the non-americans: the americans with disabilities act (ADA) allows persons with a service animal to enter a business even if they do not allow pets otherwise. the business is not allowed to ask if it is a service animal and can only ask the person to leave if the animal is causing a disturbance (any legitimate service animal is extremely well trained and will not cause a disturbance).

so if you do have a legit service animal and they still asked you to leave, that is some bullshit indeed.

Even worse, business owners do not realize you can totally ask a misbehaving dog to leave so they put up with Patches pissing on the cereal.

If my dog so much as sniffs something when working she gets one warning then we leave if it doesn’t stop. Handelers of legit service animals work them every day go through a long training that lasts between a year to two years and while there are certificates and registries they do not mean anything.

Anyone can buy the service dog vest as well which means very little so I do have sympathy but less if the dog is behaving.
