Service dogs play an invaluable role in supporting individuals with disabilities, and part of that role includes navigating a wide range of public environments, including public restrooms. Thoughtful, intentional training helps ensure that both the service dog and handler can move through these spaces safely, calmly, and confidently, while also being respectful of others sharing the environment.

While service dogs are legally permitted to accompany their handlers into public restrooms, appropriate training helps make these situations more comfortable for everyone involved.
