Great Debate: Should owner-trained assistance dogs have the same access rights?

March 20, 2024 by Pham Hien

What’s your stance on the next Great Debate?

Owners of assistance dogs have reportedly been denied the ‘reasonable adjustments’ required by the Equality Act on the grounds that their assistance dog was not trained by a charity under the umbrella of ADUK (Assistance Dogs UK). This leaves dogs trained by charities or organisations outside ADUK at disadvantage – and it is even worse for dogs that are owner-trained due to the long waiting lists many charities have. On the other hand, some think that letting owner-trained dogs qualify as assistance dogs might mean letting any companion dog with a smart–looking jacket pass off as one.

 

Should owner-trained assistance dogs be afforded the same access rights as those trained by charities?
