Public Awareness Service DogsOR6 works closely with veterans with service dogs and we see the obstacles they maneuver, both physically and mentally. One of our objectives at OR6 is to help our Veterans by educating the public on service dogs, sharing veterans stories, and working with our partners.
By providing awareness we hope to effectively change the way individuals approach a situation. A situation where a veteran is trying to get through the day with the assistance of their service dog without confrontation. Knowing is half the battle. |
How You can become part of the SolutionEducation is the solution. Under the ADA the law is pretty clear where a service dog can go and where it can’t. What’s not clear is how did that dog become a service dog. Really it does not matter according to the ADA, what matters is the behaviors in public places.
There are times when a handler with their service dog can and should be escorted out of public buildings. Other times your ignorance can create a confrontational scene that could escalate to negative reviews and a loss of business, even worse a law suit. OR6 offers valuable information for your company and employees to be educated on what is and what’s not a service dog. It’s important to know what is covered under the ADA and local state laws regarding public access provided to service dogs and service dogs in training. OR6 provides a service for your company where you and your employees learn about a businesses rights regarding service dogs, the only two questions you legally have the right to ask, how accommodations made for service dogs can be construed as discrimination. Knowing is half the battle. Get hands on experiences with real service dogs, and much more. Contact OR6 today to set up a consultation. |
