Summary
- The proliferation of service dogs, including those with inadequate training, is causing challenges for guide dog owners like Avril Rinn.
- Rinn encounters poorly behaved service dogs in public spaces, which creates access problems for her and other guide dog owners.
- Organizations like Leader Dogs for the Blind provide extensive training for guide dogs to ensure they are well-behaved and suitable for public settings.
- While individuals benefit from having comfort or support dogs in public, misbehaving dogs jeopardize the safety and access of trained assistance dogs.
