In this video, I review the Supreme Court ruling in a case where a little girl's school would not allow her to bring her service dog to school. Once they finally did, the school would not allow her to use the dog in school but made him lie in the back of the classroom the whole day.

Not just any dog can be trained to become a service dog. It takes a special one to become a full-time working dog, and the service that a service dog provides by mitigating (compensating for) the disabilities of its handler is invaluable. Choosing and training the right dog is only half the battle. Gaining public access, allowed by law, sometimes becomes impossible.

Nevertheless, education is the most effective option. By educating handlers and teaching them to positively educate the public, we can create awareness and accomplish a culture change that improves the lives of every service dog owner in this country.

I am not a lawyer. I am a disabled veteran with almost seven years of experience handling two different service dogs. One of my service dogs was owner-trained, and one was program-trained. Through the Service Dog Channel, I would like to share my experiences, help educate and inform people, and present service dog news, court cases, stories, and interviews that might make it easier for disabled service dog owners to function daily.
