Question: How should a service animal behave in public spaces, restaurants, and commercial buildings?

Answer: The animal must obey basic commands and be in your control at all times while in public spaces. It must remain under the table or be lying down on a seat while in restaurants or in commercial buildings. A miniature horse would be kept wherever space allows.

Do you own an assistance animal? Register your pet. 

The Service Animal Registry of California invites you to have your assistance animal registered in order to designate its status. We also encourage you to take our online classes so you can be fully aware of your rights and gain more knowledge about your support animal.

Finally, we present to you our book entitled, “ASSISTANCE ANIMAL LAWS: LEARN YOUR RIGHTS REGARDING SERVICE ANIMALS, EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS, THERAPY PETS, AND OTHER DOGS, CATS, AND ASSISTANCE ANIMALS” to provide you with a complete education on assistance animals.
