Service Dog Awareness Education
For Businesses
How Can Paws Then Play LLC
Help Your Business?
Most companies are aware of the huge settlement agreement between the United States of America Civil Rights Division and Wal-Mart Stores Inc., January of 2009. The settlement resulted in mandatory remedial action, new policies, training, procedures, monetary compensation, public service campaigns and more. Prevent that from happening to your company.
A Paws Then Play LLC business seminar effectively communicates applicable laws to your employees and explain how to apply the laws regarding service dogs in multiple business scenarios. More importantly than just informing employees on the applicable laws, Lindsay would explain when and how to apply this knowledge safely.
Business Customer with Service Dog
Employees and business owners can walk away knowing what they can ask a service dog team, how to ask, and why this is important for the benefit of your business. Learning to interact correctly with a service dog in the business setting benefits a business by preventing litigation and gives you the tools you need to have positive interaction with all of your customers.
Seminars and training sessions are tailored for the company’s leaders and employees and offered monthly, quarterly or yearly depending on turnover trends. Investing in these service dog awareness education presentations will protect you by providing clear instruction for smooth interactions with service dog handlers.
These 30-45 minute discussions clarify why service dogs are important to their disabled handlers, and when situations need to be addressed for the safety, enjoyment, and well-being of patrons and staff alike. The two legally permitted queries that a business must use are examined in detail, so utilization can be optimized for the benefit of all parties involved.
Lindsay demonstrates how to handle encounters with service dog handlers to prevent issues before they can occur. She also highlights sensitivities that may not be apparent initially. While avoiding a messy scenario is always preferable, sometimes misunderstandings occur. She can provide the legal guidelines that can protect your company, as well as the most gracious and effective ways to present them.
