It is critical that we protect the rights of those who are disabled as well as the individuals who work to better the lives of the disabled. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) outlines the rights of service animals, but it does not outline or protect the rights of service animals in training or puppy raising. This is a matter that differs on a state by state basis and should be concrete on a national level. Without puppy raising (puppies in training), there would not be any puppies to go on to receive formal training and provide a service to an individual in need. It is crucial to reward puppy raising (puppies in training) and service animals in training (on/at any level) the equivalent rights to those that a certified service animal receives.
