While service dogs are important to many people in terms of mobility and "invisible" disabilities, most people unfamiliar with service dogs still think of guide dogs or hearing assist dogs as the only dogs that qualify.

Service dogs come in a wide variety of services such as autism service dogs, diabetic alert and response dog, hearing service dogs, migraine alert dogs, mobility service dogs, narcolepsy alert and response dogs, psychiatric service dogs, and seizure alert and response dogs. As human need changes, our dogs will be right beside us to help us through whatever problems we might have.

The New Discrimination

As the duties of service dogs increase, so do the numbers of service dogs. With more people seeing service dogs and dogs that perform certain duties, there is more discrimination against service dogs than ever before. Much of the discrimination has to do with pet owners calling their pets service dogs even though the dog isn't trained and doesn't have the right identification. With this discrimination on the rise against service dogs and even discrimination against allowing service dogs in certain places with their owners, it's vitally important to have your dog marked what kind of job he's doing, especially if your disability is "invisible."

Identify Your Dog Properly

You can mark your dog as a real service dog using the correct service dog equipment, including badges, vests, ID tags, capes, and other equipment that properly identifies your dog. Having identification as to your condition as well may help prove to those who want to discriminate against your dog that you indeed have a medical condition that warrants a service dog.

While no one wants to think that this prejudice would occur, it's important to prevent the challenge in the first place. Yes, you have recourse through the law, and while the law is on your side, it is best to stop the problem even before it starts.
