<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I think you should wait to see whether the problem
asserts itself. Don't create problems where none as yet exist. There
may not even be a difficulty with the method you have chosen. If it does,
just tell the employer why it is you choose not to crate your dog. It may
be agreed to just continue the practice. Many employer practices and
policies are grandfathered in. For example, when I was a private
contractor working for our local community college, we private contractors were
not obliged to be drug tested. As are all employees. Now I am an
employee of the college, I still am not obliged to take a drug
test However, had I not been working for the community college prior to my
being made a member of the staff, and wanted to become employed now by the
college. I would have to be drug tested. . </FONT></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>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. <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Recently, there have been people who are doing folders who
have gotten guide dogs. They keep these dogs in crates, but I am not sure if
that’s by 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
tie down. It will be harder for me to monitor my dog, if he is in a crate.
Plus, I am still new to Mambo, so I want him close by. Since I used to have
Pascal under the table, I don’t see why they wouldn’t allow me to have Mambo
in the same area. But who knows? <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>So, back to my original question… In what instances can an
employer make it mandatory to crate your dog? <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thanks for your insight!<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Deanna, Mambo, and Pascal (who went back to Grandma’s
yesterday)<o:p></o:p></P>
