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?
Fort Wayne, Indiana (Allen County)
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 *?
Hello ****, yes, even under Indiana Law HEA *:
- Only service animals and service animals in training, managed by a person with a disability or a trainer, are allowed in public places.
