ADA Information
Summarized from official U.S. Department of Justice guidance and 28 C.F.R. § 35.104.
- Under the ADA, a service animal is a dog individually trained to do work or perform tasks directly related to a person’s disability.
- People with disabilities may train service dogs themselves; professional or third-party training is not required.
- Emotional support, comfort, or companionship alone does not qualify a dog as a service animal under the ADA.
- When the service is not obvious, covered entities may generally ask only: “Is the dog a service animal required because of a disability?” and “What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?”
- Certification, registration, a vest, or identification documents are not required under federal law.
- The dog must remain under the handler’s control and be housebroken.
- Documentation, including this record, is provided voluntarily.
