[humanser] Guide dogs and in home practice

[solsticesinger]

During my last internship, I had to make several home visits. I opted to 
leave my dog at the office, because of the nature of the homes I was 
entering.

I've heard of people who have successfully taken their guides into private 
homes, but, when I was looking into it with my supervisor, it seemed more of 
a hassle than it was worth.

HI,

I am applying for a guide dog and wanted to know if any of you use a dog for 
in home settings with your clients.  I know the laws for taking a dog into 
public spaces, but obviously, I cannot make someone allow me to take a dog 
into their homes if they do not wish.  Has anyone encountered this issue? 
If so, what do you do with your dog in the event that someone will not allow 
you to bring your dog in their homes for personal or medical reasons?

Any feedback will be helpful.

Thanks,
