Knowledge is power. Be aware of the laws that protect you and your service dog. The ADA website offers information on how a service animal is defined, laws regarding service animals in places of business, and frequently asked questions. This is a wonderful source of information that can provide you with education and confidence when out in public with your service dog.

Certain small service animals may be permitted to sit on your lap, if it can be done so safely.
Your service animal cannot block a space that must remain unobstructed for safety reasons (ex. an aisle or access to an emergency exit).
An airline is not required to upgrade you to a different class of service to accommodate your service animal.
