Make a Difference
Everyone can play a role in protecting service dog access rights and combating fraud. Whether you're a business owner, a member of the public, or someone passionate about disability rights, there are many ways to get involved.
Ways to Help
Educate Yourself and Others
Learn the facts about legitimate service dogs and share accurate information with your community. Understanding ADA requirements and service dog etiquette is the first step in making a difference.
Support Legitimate Handlers
When you see a service dog team, practice proper etiquette. Support businesses that properly accommodate service dogs while maintaining appropriate standards. Speak up when you witness discrimination against legitimate service dog handlers.
Report Fraud
In states where misrepresenting a pet as a service dog is illegal, you can report suspected fraud to local authorities. Familiarize yourself with your state's laws and the proper channels for reporting.
Advocate for Stronger Laws
Support legislation that protects service dog access rights and penalizes fraud. Contact your state representatives to express support for laws that criminalize service dog misrepresentation.
Spread Awareness on Social Media
Share educational content about service dogs, the impact of fraud, and proper etiquette. Follow and support organizations dedicated to service dog advocacy. Challenge misinformation when you encounter it.
Support Service Dog Organizations
Consider volunteering or donating to reputable service dog training organizations. These organizations work tirelessly to train legitimate service dogs and place them with people who need them.

- Training your staff on ADA service dog requirements
