This is all I know, but under the ADA puppy raisers for guide dog schools do
have the same rights of access to public entities as guide dog users
themselves. Of course, they always have the same responsabilities as well.
As noted prior when I voted a few weeks ago one of the polling place workers
had a "Leader dog" puppy at the public school where we voted. It was on its
first day in public, being six weeks, not six months old. He was quite well
behaved and groomed and mostly slepted by the way.
What is disturbing in this case is that this is a public library at issue.
Public entities should know better, but given the discrimination by BSBP
against all blind folks here I'm not surprised at the discrimination by
public actors.

CORRESPONDENT
HAVERFORD TWP.--A Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission public hearing
over allegations that the Haverford Township Free Library discriminated
against
puppy raiser Deborah Rosan adjourned quickly Tuesday, with an announcement
that the parties had reached a tentative settlement agreement.
Rosan’s attorney Lawrence Coburn said both parties hope to sign off on a
consent order agreeing that puppy raisers working with organizations that
train
and raise puppies to serve as guide/support dogs for individuals with
disabilities will be deemed handlers/trainers of support animals, terms used
in Section
5(i)(1) of the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act.
Additional terms provide that such puppies must be at least six months old.
And, if the puppy causes a disturbance in a public accommodation, the puppy
raiser must remove the dog at once.
Coburn said the settlement would include another confidential document and a
letter of apology signed by Rosan.
