Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California
Leash Laws
I have a service dog. I need to know if
there are any special ADA leash laws
that I need to follow. Do they override
any local and state laws.

Re: Leash Laws
Your service dog provider should be able to answer this question. If you feel that someone has discriminated against you because you have a service dog, the laws are very strict and very much in your favor. One time I successfully sued a major fast food chain for refusing to serve customers with service dogs. If I can be of help in any way, please let me know.
Re: Leash Laws
Yes there certainly are rules that you should know. The trainer or provider of your service dog should have extensively educated you on all the rules and regs, your rights and responsibilities. You can go to guidedogs.com for some basic information. After learning the rules, IF you think you've been actually discriminated against or been denied access, feel free to contact me for help.
