[quote=Anonymous]I think that laws should change.  I do think that some kind of ID for service dogs makes sense, although I think there need to be limits on who and when and how someone can ask to see it.  For example, being asked once by the hostess at a restaurant when they seat you is reasonable, being asked repeatedly by fellow customers isn't.  I also think that the process  to get the ID needs to be simple and straightforward.

However, since there isn't an ID requirement, people need to follow the current laws.   People demanding to see a service dog's vest, or decreeing that certain breeds aren't service dogs, or harassing people in public because they think they have some magic ability to tell which dogs are service dogs are wrong.

I think within the current laws, it would be reasonable for business to decide a plan so that each person who enters with a dog is approached once and only once, and is asked the two legal questions, which are "Is this a service dog?" and "What task or tasks is this dog trained to do?".  I also think that businesses need to be quicker about asking dogs to leave if they are making a nuisance, incontinent, or not under the handler's control.  [/quote]
