In Wyoming, are service dogs “in training” allowed in a business in addition to a required service dog?
I live in the state of Wyoming and manage a business in the lodging industry. We do allow one pet at our business. I know we are required to take a service dog, but are we also required to take one service dog”in training” in addition to the service dog? If you could clear this up for me I would greatly appreciate it.
Under the ADA, service dogs in training are not addressed. A trainer with a service dog in training has NO rights under the ADA. Only fully trained service dogs are addressed.
However, under Wyoming state law, service dogs and service dogs in training are considered the same thing:
“Service dog” means a dog which has been or is being specially trained to the requirements of a person with a disability….”
http://servicedogcentral.org/content/node/50#3513205
However, none of the law mentions trainers, ie whether they must be certified or even whether they have access rights (the right to train in your facility).
“Any blind, visually impaired, deaf, hearing impaired person or other person with a disability may be accompanied by a service dog in any of the places listed in subsection (a) of this section without paying an extra charge for the service dog….”
In short, this is a poorly written law. It looks a bit like only disabled people training their own service dogs have public access rights, but that would be an unusual position to take. So it’s likely they either meant to include trainers in the list of people not to be discriminated against, or meant to add a paragraph about trainers rights but forgot it. Usually in the paragraph about trainers rights they also list restrictions on trainers, usually that they be from an approved program.
Consult your state’s attorney general for info on whether you must permit service animals in training or not. Better yet, consult a private attorney of your own.
