>You work for a blind agency and they want certain people to crate their
dogs.
I would think you have a right to have your dog in a safe place so yo an
us him if it were necessary.
I wold talk to the supervisor and ash what the deal is.
If your dog snit available to you in a crate that would be illegal.

 Hi all,
> I have an interesting question and would like feedback on this. When is it
> legal for an employer to make you crate your dog? I ask this because
> sometimes at work, I go to different departments to help them out if they
> need extra help. I work for a blindness agency and my main job is as the
> morning receptionist, but I've worked in the Bindery and making folders as
> well. When I've been in these areas, I have been the only one who uses a
> guide dog. So, I've always had my dog on tie down underneath my table/work
> area. Everyone has seemed fine with that, since the dog is out of harm's
> way and can be nice and comfortable.
> Recently, there have been people who are doing folders who have gotten

> choice or if they are required to now. I've been asked to do some extra
> work helping with folders, but I would greatly prefer not to crate my dog.
> I'm not even sure if they would make it mandatory, but I'd really prefer

> Plus, I am still new to Mambo, so I want him close by. Since I used to

> So, back to my original question... In what instances can an employer make
> it mandatory to crate your dog?
> Thanks for your insight!
