As for service dog issues...one can already know due to their extensive training. They remain "heeled" at their master/mistress. IF in a restaurant or other building, they sit quietly under the chair. You never/ever pet them as they're working. They won't pee/poop without their person allowing them to. They won't bark at other animals or people. You may ask a person who has one exactly all they're trained to do. As another poster stated on here--a service dog will never ride in a shopping cart---ever!! NOR will they pull on their leash.

Also a service dog's leash will NOT be retractable. If it's a leash that can be reeled in or let loose or dependent on the dog for tension, then it is not a service dog, and the owner is not the owner of a service dog.
