As much as all of us love seeing any dog in public, especially service dogs, because we all realize what important jobs they do, it's extremely important that you follow some guidelines when you do see a service dog in public .

How To Interact With a Service Dog

In the simplest terms possible, you shouldn't. Guide and service dogs aren't there for you to pet or talk to or interact with, but if you feel like you absolutely must, here are a few simple guidelines.

Before petting a guide or service dog , you should always ask their owner or handler. Even if you see a guide dog not wearing their service harness, you should always ask for permission before interacting with the dog, so that the handler can maintain control.

Always give guide and service dogs the right of way. Practice good etiquette by moving to the side and allowing the handler and dog to pass. Never attempt to grab or steer the person while the dog is guiding or attempt to hold the dog's harness . You should ask if the handler needs your assistance and, if so, offer your left arm.

Never feed a guide or service dog without their owner's permission.

Speak to the handler, not the dog, and never give their service dog commands.

Under the Americans With Disabilities Act ( ADA), people with disabilities are allowed to be accompanied by their guide or service dog in all places the public is permitted.  Please treat the amazing service dogs and the their handlers with respect and courtesy.
