Im just wondering if you would be able to tell me if a dog in training is legally allowed in public places(doctor offices, mental health facilities etc)
Hello ****, the laws regarding service animals in training can vary by location. Could you please tell me where you are located so I can provide more accurate information?

Hello ****, in Indiana, the law states:
- Only fully trained service animals are required to be allowed in public places.
- Animals in training are not given the same rights.
- Public places may choose to allow them, but it's not a requirement.
Please check with individual establishments for their rules.
Even according to Law HEA *?
