Dailyah,

Love it! When I'm dealing with access issues, or just chatting up 
business owners or anyone else with a curiosity, I always stress their 
rights, too. /smile/ As an owner-trainer, I get to do plenty of 
self-advocacy, and that's a good opportunity to educate and communicate 
about other misconceptions about the laws and access rights.

Of course, since I am the one advocating for my own right to enter with 
my own guide, I use us as an example... Then live in fear that my dog is 
going to do one of those things I just told the general public can get 
her tossed out on her ear. /lol/ So far, so good, but for some reason, I 
get nervous about that. Silly, I guess. /smil/e

Any dog behaving in an out of control manner can be required to leave, but you (the business) cannot require the person with the disability to also leave...unless, of course, the person with the disability is ALSO behaving in an out of control manner.  *smile*  Dailyah
