[nagdu] They want my guide dog to be in a stair well

[via nagdu]

The dog would need to be crated because there are things he can get into that could kill him.  Plus there are a lot of people around.   I clean locker rooms, as well as doing laundry.

Okay, I have a couple of questions. First, what makes them think that they have the right to expect a service dog to be crated at all? Second, what makes them think that they have the right to separate you from your service dog? 

I'm an IT professional and my dog is trained to stay quietly under the desk where I am working. When I move around the office my dog goes with me. I wasn't aware that there was any law allowing an employer to require any other arrangements.

Dear Barb,

could you please refresh my memory as to exactly where you work?  I
doubt my answers/advice would be better, but I would rather have the whole
picture.
With Empathy,
Darla

Hi, 
I will be having my interview for my guide dog school in a couple of weeks.
I have a new boss, and when he found out that I was looking into getting a
service dog, he said I could put him in the back stair way. that is a fire
exit and the fire department would give them a big fine if they came in and
found a dog crated in the back. The best place is right outside the door to
the laundry room where I do much of my work, I would pass the dog many times
in the day, plus I can keep track of what is going on. I know the big
problem with that spot is that it is in clear view of the public, in fact if
someone wanted to they could go up to the crate. I get it, the safety thing
and all, and that even if I put a nice cover over the crate, it will not be
in keeping with how they run things. I do believe that fore the most part
everyone would leave the dog along, but I guess all's you need is one dummy
and everything is turned upside down. 
I feel I should talk to the gal when she comes to do the interview, and see
what she has to say, but I could blow all my chances of getting a dog
because of it. 
I just don't know how to do this. 

Barb
