WE HAVE COLLATED ALL OF THE BASICS ABOUT ASSISTANCE DOGS IN ONE PLACE FOR YOU – FROM DEFINITIONS TO LEGAL INFORMATION WE HAVE ALL THE ESSENTIALS (WE THINK!)
Completely new to the concept of Assistance Dogs? Wondering what one is? Don’t know your “emotional support” dog from your “therapy dog”? Not sure how the law works with Assistance Dogs in the UK? What about Assistance Dogs in Training? What is even classed as a disability? We answer these questions and many more in this section.
Even if you’re not a total newbie, it is always worth checking in and making sure you know the law and that you’re using the right terminology.
There’s even a section for business and premises owners to read their rights – as an Assistance Dog handler, you may want to show this to them if you encounter any access issues, as a less confrontational way of approaching it than yelling about your rights.
