[nagdu] Should Service dogs in training be allowed in the classroom?

[Julie J.]

Everything Ann said is correct and I am in total agreement.  I did want to 
add that I feel strongly that training is training time, not work time, not 
shopping time, not socializing time.  By this I mean if an employer has 
hired me to do a certain job, then they are paying me for that job and not 
dog training.   It irritates me quite a bit when someone is training their 
dog to be a service dog and they take the dog along to all day shopping 
extravaganzas,  or to a elaborate 7 course meal, eating and having fun with 
friends and engage in zero training.  If you claim your dog to be a service 
dog in training, then you should be engaged in training.

I am not talking about puppies with a puppy raiser.  I'm specifically 
meaning a service dog in training, as in the phase between puppy raising and 
fully trained service dog.

Dear Nagdu Members,

Yesterday I read an article in the Orlando Sentarel that says
that service dogs in training have been banned from classroms in
public schools in Orange County here in Central Florida.
Seminole County has a policy stating that the principal of the
school must give permission for the individual to bring their
service dog in training into the classrom.  This brings to my
memory an incident where my former Tvi ;was told she could not
bring her dog in training into the classrom at Hagerty High
School where she was teaching at the time.  How do you feel about
this issue? Hope to hear from you soon.
