Bringing my dog to college. Want to make sure I've covered all my bases
I am starting to go to more intensive classes that would have me be there all day and move around campus and would like to be able to bring my service dog in training. He has been out in public and can behave as expected, (potty trained, doesn't spook/settles quickly, does not react to other animals or people, focuses on me and not other stimuli) and has been performing mobility support, DPT, and I'm working on picking up objects from the ground and delivering them to me. He does down-stay but I am going to really drill it this summer anyways, just in case. I would have chem lab, from my understanding he needs to be able to have the same standard protection that the humans would have for his own safety - a coat, boots, and eye gear to be allowed in the lab which I can definitely get him to wear. I am going to contact my adviser a few months in advance just to make sure we're prepared. Is there anything else I am missing? I've secured some minor accomodations at this school without issue, but I've had a lot of trouble in elementary through high school with so I'm quite nervous and want to be prepared and at least seem competent. I'm in the USA btw.
edit: Thank you for the input so much! I'm a lot more confident now. The only concern seems to be with lab safety with I have to agree with. I'm going to try avoiding bringing him on lab days and if I do have to bring him for whatever reason, see if I can place him in a side room, or off area. I'm going to talk to the person in charge accomodations and figure it out. Again, thanks so much, I was really worried I was freaking out for nothing or was being entitled here. I really needed some level headed advice lol
