Woman And Dog Kicked Out Of The Boardwalk

LA R.S. 21§52. Guide or service dog, rights and privileges of owners; penalties for violations

A. Any blind person, visually handicapped person, deaf person, hearing impaired person, or otherwise physically disabled person who is accompanied by a properly controlled dog which such person has been taught to use as a guide or for service at a qualified dog guide or service school is entitled to the full and equal accommodations, advantages, facilities, and privileges of all public accommodation, amusement or resort, and other places to which the general public is invited, and shall be entitled to take such dog into such conveyances and places, subject only to the accommodations and limitations applicable to all persons not so accompanied, provided that the dog shall not occupy a seat in any public conveyance.

...

C. The provisions of Subsections A and B of this Section shall be inapplicable unless the person, as described in Subsections A and B of this Section, accompanied by a guide or service dog, shall furnish evidence as to the training of the dog, which evidence shall be obtained from the training agency or school by which the dog has been trained.

=====================

I wonder if a "Canine Good Citizen" diploma from a pet store counts as evidence as to the training at a qualified service school. I also wonder if having asthma counts as being physically disabled for the purposes of this law.

>Service dogs only recognition that they are service dogs are the red jacket that they wear and on the jacket it indicates they are working.

So, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. State law requires owners to furnish, on demand, evidence of training and certification. A red jacket doesn't cut it.

No stupid, I do know what I am talking about. Most of these people don't keep on hand the certification because typically they don't run across a security questioning them in this fashion. Most have the knowledge to understand the red jacket. And yes, the trainers at PetsMart do have the ability to train the dog to the appropriate level for this lady. And Yes Joe there are dogs who can detect astha attacks before they occur, seizures before they occur, monitor diabetic patients, etc. The dogs are obviously brighter than you and the security guard due to their wide raning sensory abilities.

You know Joe you constantly amaze me with your ability to make a donkey's behind out of yourself. I hope and pray that you nor your daughter never, ever come to the place of need that many of the people are that you frequently poke fun of or ridicule. It will be a bitter pill for you to swallow.

For someone who claims to be really smart you had a hard time with this one didn't you?

The law did not say it had to be a qualified service school. It states "from the training agency or school by which the dog has been trained". PetSmart has certified dog trainers in their "dog school" inside their store. We have trained a dog with them and I would be willing to bet Joe she's better behaved than you.

Furthermore, asthma is considered a physical disability. Yes, I did my homework on this one before you argue: #1. I have asthma. #2 I called my own physician and asked. #3 I live with a physician.

What is your real issue with this woman having her dog that she needs with her? Is it just so you can argue?

Maybe the dog was sagging and showing his arse Was he guilty of leaving logs down on the board walk ? I say bring him before a jury of his peers and get him up against the wall.

I heard the "medical dog" was a pit bull.. (or part pit bull) Is this true?

[Texasbelle]

Now if that's true Rhertz I could see where the Security Guard would have doubts as to her story. I really, really would. I bet we haven't heard the end of the story.

Bandit, a 27-month-old American pit bull terrier, has been trained to sense Pieper's asthma attacks.

Well well well, I believe the lady pictured there with the service dog is also a trainer at PetsMart if I am not mistaken. I can verify that information in the morning, but I think she is. She is NOT the trainer we worked with.
