Rules Children Should Follow When Encountering a Service Dog
Service dogs want us to know…
- As a service dog, I can be recognized by my colorful vest which has the words “service dog” displayed on it.
- If I am wearing my “service dog vest,” that means I am hard at work for my owner. Please know I’d love to say hi, but don’t interrupt me while I am working hard to keep my owner safe.
- Because of the duties that I perform for their handler, you may see me in places where pet dogs are prohibited.
- Please don’t ask why my person needs a service dog.
- Always ask my owner if it’s OK to approach me and pet me before getting too close. Petting me without asking first can distract me from doing my job and can put my owner’s safety at risk.
- Please don’t whistle or make loud sounds that could distract me from my task at hand.
- Please give me and other service dogs and their handlers the right of way when you encounter us at the store or on the street. We appreciate this sigh of respect and courtesy.
- Please don’t feed me. I am sure what you have is tasty, but I may have allergies and the food could make me sick. And I have been trained not to take food from others
