[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They bring service dogs into schools on certain weeks for "mental health" and many students enjoy and use the service. But there's probably an equal number of students who are afraid of dogs even if those particular dogs are meant to be trained therapeutic dogs. Schools should consider having the dogss far far away from areas all students use such as the front lobby and keep them in one room of the school for students needing the service can go get them in that room or meet dogs outside. Just as there's an increase in dogs, there seems to be an increase in people who are allergic to dogs. Allergies to cats and dogs should be the reason businesses should not allow dogs into establishments such as grocery stores, healthcare settings, stores, schools, etc.[/quote]

Again, most of those places DON'T allow random pet dogs. They are, by law, required to allow trained service dogs. I've never heard of a "service cat" in a similar situation; I do know that cat allergies are more prevalent than dog allergies. There's an uptick in people being afraid of dogs because a lot of idiots own dogs that are absolute menaces, not properly socialized or adequately trained. Unfortunately, those are the sort of entitled jerks forcing their dogs into public space.

Obviously students who are afraid of or allergic to dogs aren't forced to engage a service dog, and I agree that the dogs should be contained somewhere "opt-in" to the extent possible if they're just visiting. [/quote]
