People need to chill and learn what service dogs are for. I mean people literally go through so much, which is why they have a service dog, so why give the person more stress about it.
Unfortunately the officer is wrong in this situation. Yes, they are allowed to refuse service to any PERSON. What that means is that she could've come out and said "you guys are not allowed to come in here," and if she had left it at that then it would not be breaking the law. However, because she came out and said, "you cannot come in here because of your dogs," she passed over into violating the ADA. It would be the same as if she walked up to someone in a wheelchair and said, "you cannot come in here because you are in a wheelchair." You have grounds to file an ADA complaint and win because you have her on video refusing service specifically because of the dogs.
@@lexiegodbout yeah girl! And you probably want to contact the department of the officer and let them know because he was very very wrong. They SHOULD know the laws considering that is their job but 🤷♀️ I know there is a lot of grey area but this isn't grey area at all. He should've watched the video before passing judgment.
Restaurants have open food, it does NOT matter if it’s privately owned or a flippin Franchise. If they are open to the public they CANNOT discriminate based upon your dogs. You absolutely could file a grievance with the ADA
People get this false idea that because a business is privately owned that the ADA doesn’t apply. But most of the businesses in the USA are privately owned, but they are open to the public, such as a restaurant, a clothing store , etc. so the ADA applies to any business that is open to the public. Even if you have to pay admission such as buying a ticket, like amusement parks, etc.
Susan Ronan No the police officer is correct. Unfortunately ADA can’t deal with “trespassing” orders. Private properties can trespass anyone for any reason and do not have to give any reason... the Police have to carry through. Like he “It does apply but it doesn’t” that’s the best it can be. The police handled the situation is in a very good way. Attitude is everything.
@@karenmcmillan7496 yes I agree. All businesses must comply with ADA. And yes the officer was incorrect with his answer. Perhaps the department needs to study the ADA and become more knowledgeable with helping the disabled. I have found this is one subject many police officers are unfamiliar with.
Not always, the law with the least restricting is the one that you follow. Example SDit do not on a federal law level allowed public access. Quite a few states, have a law allowing SDit full public access. So your wrong sorry.
That access issue made me heart race. You’re protected under the ADA privately owned or not. They are open to the public, anyone can walk in, you cannot exclude you for having a piece of medical equipment. It’s like telling someone with a wheelchair they aren’t welcome. It’s ridiculous and scary for people with service animals. I’m so sorry you had to go through that Lexie.
Basically it’s a loophole... “yes we have to let service dogs have public access, but we have the right not to serve anyone for any reason, so you have to leave.” I’m super worried about something like this happening when I get an apartment with my ESA. Under ADA law they have to allow ESAs housing rights, but I’m worried they will deny me for some other made up reason, etc. Or try to say because of his size or something ...
Based upon what has been posted on THIS channel, it appears that most people do not stand in opposition to SD Dakota. He conducts himself like - at the very least - a well-behaved pet that could easily pass for a genuine service dog. It is Lexie, her teen posse, their sophomoric behavior, foul language and caustic attitude that they bring into public which many adults find so offensive. Any business owner or store manager who spends enough time on this channel to discern her modus operandi, would be more than justified in refusing Lexi access to their properties. ADA or no ADA, in a court of law, she would not have a foot to stand on. Willfully creating a public nuisance for the purpose of generating social media views (ie, for profit), is not a disability. It's not about the dog.
Ok...public, private, whatever. They are not legally allowed to refuse you service. If you were blind and couldn’t access the store? MAJOR problem. If they continue to refuse you service or access, file a law suit.
Caitlin Sullivan.... u have mah first name and your name is spelt just like mine!!!! Omg!!! Everyone spells their name differently but they are still versions of "Caitlin." 😆😆😆😆
yeah no. if you need a service dog you need a service dog. if something happens and they are not there they cannot assist the person in need. people think their so smart about this when they have no experience on it.🙄
Honestly the problems with private stores and the use of power to override other laws are sadly on the rise. For people with health issues its becoming a concern
They an not refuse a service dog. But they can refuse an emotional support animal that is not papered. And they just passed the law that legally the business is now allowed to ask for papers as the miss use of the service animal
@@buttrflynebula He meant it positively hun A shout out as in, hey you're awesome "points at you" Maybe add a wink In there.. Lol Don't worry, sometimes brains just dont do their job, ur not stupid. Happens to me all the time 😅
@TEIJA SMITH We've had that, we just kept the grouch Inna different room since she was old anyway and we had some FUN times when she started forgetting who I was.... I perfected how to pin a dog without being injured on that dog. Senile fatty that she was. She only remembered me the night she passed last year. Was my mom's dog, but she was at the hospital with my sister who was having her baby.... So I got to climb in and over the dog to give pain meds cuz she was in her kennel facing the back and couldn't move. Just whined. Wound up ignoring my phone cuz I was told not to do it.. She was our first large dog as kids, I couldn't let her hurt like that. But she sat up and turned around after a while and it was the first time in over a year she hadn't acted aggressive at me. ER anyway I just meant it's not easy, but we managed to keep her separate from my SD pretty good. Have a nice night!
I would sue that gas station... firstly that cop is wrong BECAUSE you have proof on your video that the reason they refused to serve you was because of the dogs. That's 100% illegal no matter what! That's not a sufficient reason for her to refuse service to you. "Under federal anti-discrimination laws, businesses can refuse service to any person for any reason, unless the business is discriminating against a protected class. At the national level, protected classes include: Race or color. National origin or citizenship status." "The right of public accommodation is also guaranteed to disabled citizens under the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination by private businesses based on disability." You can definitly use them. And personally I wouldn't if that woman was nice about it but she was a real F***ing B****! So out of spite I would....
J Ri ok but no need to attack the cop. In the video he even said that he was off of the top of his head. It can be very hard to remember all of those laws. I’m sure you searched it up, well the cop doesn’t have enough time to search up the laws. Not all cops are bad.
@@karleech1121 I wasn't attacking him. I just said he is wrong "because of ....." cops aren't always right is what I'm saying. I'm attacking that woman cause she was rude and disrespectful and breaking the law.

@@markcassian8750 It does not matter what her attitude is like. When the first thing someone says is "your service dog is not allowed here" that's breaking the law and she can say whatever she wants after that... it's illegal to deny access to someone with a service dog and I understand why she gets upset because I have a service dog and that crap gets old real quick... not only are we dealing with disabilities, we have dogs that help us with it and make it easier for us to be safe, but you have people like this woman that makes you feel lesser than because of the dog when you have a legitimate reason to have the dogn and she is complaining about the dog she just said "no big dogs qllowed" in the video LOL so they can be used for that because she has proof and if I was her I would... that's all I'm saying.
Hey guys! So glad you’re enjoying the video! The gas station incident took a toll on my mental health for a bit. We ultimately decided it wasn’t worth it and left. As for the responding officer, yes he was wrong, many police officers don’t know or aren’t familiar with Ada laws and our rights. That’s why it’s important to stand up to people and fight for your given rights. There’s hundreds of laws officers need to remember, service animal ones aren’t always a priority. Officers can’t know every single thing in the book. This is clear discrimination. I will update soon in a new video. Thanks so much for the support and feedback!
That white dog didnt seem so bad. Could have been in training.. he wasnt barking or even moving to sniff or whatever. Still wrong to fake them, and stuff.. but if they are trained and not bothering anyone... they could be a service dog just not vested. I love your vids I'm not trying to diss or anything. Just voicing my opinion. It's sad that those people did that to you.. they should be ashamed for doing that to you.. I'm glad you are able to stand up and face them for people who cant.
About the white dog filmed in the goodwill: Thats the thing though... The ADA says a service dog doesnt need to wear a vest. They only need to be task trained and not disruptive. Which this dog did not seem disruptive at all. The dog even completely ignored Max when walking by. Its not fair for the Service dog community to judge so much when the dog isnt causing any issue.
Yes, I completely agree. I feel like Sometimes Lexie is very quick to get defensive when she sees a dog, even when the dog is minding it’s own business
"Gingers dont have souls" Me, a ginger: ah well that explains a lot... Loved the vid! Im so sorry about the access issue the way the woman handled it was horrible. I hope you have a good week this week!❤
@@DedraAmbroseandSnow Incorrect. They cannot refuse to serve you because of your skin color, because of your sexual orientation, and because of your disabilities.
That's right. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they should deny service only if the served has caused damage to property or others at the location of the buisness. Like if someone intentionally breaks a table or injures another customer at a restaurant, the restaurant could ban them from going there. Right?
??? I mean I get that you have a service dog and that other animals can be distracting but like ??? Those animals weren’t barking or anything I’d get it if they were barking but when that one walked by the second time it didn’t even look it just kept walking ??? Idk maybe I’m just confused
Your goal in educating people on Service animals is working out well! Before I found your videos, I had no idea about the ADA, what types of service animals there are, the difference between SDs and ESAs, etc. and now my friends know it all, too, because I told them about your videos and all the stuff I learned from them. I thank you 100% for educating me.
Stealthtail funny thing is i noticed a “fake service dog” at a historical park thanks to her. I notified the park people and they said they noticed it to. They couldn’t really do anything because they can only ask the 2 questions.
You really think every dog that did not have a vest you think it’s a pet my service dog does not wear a vest and the white dog seems like a service dog and by the ada service dog don’t have to wear a vest
My dog doesn’t wear a vest either nor do I work him on a leash which gets between his tasks and can cause issues for both of us as well as the best so simply he wears a bandana with a sewn on patch just so I don’t have to hear people complain or whine
They cannot by law even privately owned cannot tell you you can not hbe your service animal that cop and that lady needs to be more knowledgeable on the topic period if you was to get hurt because they refused you to have your service dog smh
Vikki Jayyy there are a few places they aren't allowed. Some ICUs, OR and some locked psych units. Also, they can go in restaurants but not in the kitchen. Finally Reservation Casinos are sovereign land so they have their own rules. My dog has always been allowed but I had to show his id too
mloaolm13 if a therapy dog is allowed in a hospital, a service dog should definitely be allowed. But obviously not during a surgery. As for the casino, ada is law and it states whether its private or public, they cannot deny you access because of your dog but they can if they dont like you which is really just another way of saying "Because of your dog" without actually saying it. There isn't any I'd to prove your dog is yours and is a service dog and helps you with tasks. It's just for people to give people money and "save face" with people who dont want to let you in the building. When in reality, it makes it hard for other people who actually know you dont need an id nor that an id exists for service dogs. Just like there is not certification or paperwork for service animals.
So I haven’t finished the video, but the “right to refuse service” does not apply if they are refusing you service BECAUSE OF THE DOGS. If it’s because you’re ugly or annoying or she doesn’t like your hair, fine. But NOT because of the dogs. Ughhhhhhhh. Edit: also don’t ask the cops questions when you know the answers. Know your rights and INFORM the cops. Most of them have no clue about the law. Politely TELL them your rights and they can verify it themselves.
Correct me if I’m wrong but if it’s open to the public a service dog is allowed entrance, also HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEXI BOTH ME AND MY SD LOVE YOU, DOKOTA, AND MAXXXXXX!!!!!!
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), privately owned businesses that serve the public, such as restaurants, hotels, retail stores, taxicabs, theaters, concert halls, and sports facilities, are prohibited from discriminating against individuals with disabilities. The ADA requires these businesses to allow people with disabilities to bring their service animals onto business premises in whatever areas customers are generally allowed.
Regarding the dogs inside goodwill. I understand it could be frustrating ,but it is your service dogs job to work through it. Its part of his training to be able to ignore other dogs. It shouldnt interfere with him if he is properly trained. This is not me throwing hate this is just me expressing my own opinion. If my service dog reacted to other dogs then she clearly would need to go back to training. People love thir dogs and are gonna take them places. Thats why it's so important your service dog is properly trained for your dogs safety and others.
Can I just say how much you inspire me. I watch you everyday, only recently, and you are so strong. I suffer severe anxiety and have gone through a very traumatic experience, my mom hasn't taken me to someone to check if I'm okay, which sucks, because whenever I'm in a situation that was similar to the one I experienced, I completely break down. Watching you tells me that I'm not the only person who suffers with this, and it seriously helps. I just seriously wish that my mom would help me.
Where I work we don't question people about their animals unless they are causing a problem. People have comfort animals that make it possible for them to be in public. Anxiety is real just like the 100's of other issues people face. You don't know why they have the animal with them. Live and let live. Your Service Animal will still alert if trained properly no matter how many other dogs are around. The example I saw at the Goodwill was a well behaved dog not bothering your dog. It's all going to be ok. Keep posting! Have a blessed day! 😀
I’m just saying The white dog (Pomeranian type breed) Wasn’t doing anything? She looked at your dog at most And she ignored ur dog better then ur dog ignored her Sorry but when u started giving out about the chihuahua like people are allowed do what they want to dogs I dress my dog He loves it and he’s a therapy dog so... If good will allows dogs into their shop that’s great people like bringing their dog places it’s not legal to just Service dogs
I had the police called on us once. When the officer arrived, he saw me, smiled, and said (with a smile), Oh, hi! Then told the store owner off. Another store had someone follow us around. I don't know how long -- hearing loss -- until I noticed the clerk. Said the cops would be called. I replied, in a normal voice, "Fine. I'll wait right here." Police never called. I never went back to either store.
I want to start a program that teaches everyone about service animals. Cause a lot of people and employees don't know or understand what these animals are doing. Trained animals should be the only ones allowed in stores anyway but service animals are working to keep their handlers safe. It's not a joke or anything to poke and make fun of. That should be a lesson for the people that don't know. Even go in schools and teach kids not to pet, distract, etc. Educate everyone on this. I'd love to help spread the word. I'm disabled an I want to train my new pup. I lost my 11 yr old dog almost a yr ago. Keep up the good work spreading awareness on the service animals and what they do.
When I am an adult I will be a Service dog trainer, I have decided that I will work very hard to keep pets out of stores and defend people with service animals. there are certain laws that people need to follow but are not. so I plan on working super hard to enforce the ADA laws and health codes of stores. but I will be nice and calm with other people so that they know i'm worth listening to. I'm hoping that I can help make a difference in this world about keeping people that have disabilities safe along with there Service dogs.
I would just like to point out that when you were pretending to faint, that was a perfect example of why SDs aren’t required to be on leash 24/7. You can see how the leash twisted up and stuff and somewhat get in the way.
Lexie I am so impressed with how much you have grown and matured in the last year. It did bother me how you used to get into peoples faces over service dog issues, but I can understand where you are coming from with having PTSD. I have multiple disabilities and I am trying to training my dog (German Shepherd/Husky Mix) to be my service dog. Right now we go to pet friendly places for training. Today we were at Lowes with a trainer and people kept trying to pet and distract my dog and the trainer kind of got into their faces. It bothered me when this happened. I think these people should be confronted, but I think it can be done in a kind way. I really believe that many people just don't understand and they should be educated, but in a nice way. That is why your channel (this channel) is so important. I love your videos! Yes, many of the titles are dramatic, but clearly it is working! I don't see anything wrong with it. Also, thank you for advocating that there are other ways to complete high school other than the traditional way. I think you are really brave and hard working. The lady at the gas station was absolutely ridiculous and I am sorry that happened, but you and your crew handled the situation beautifully!
I used to work at a Goodwill store and what I was told about pets in the store is that they are allowed as long as they are on a leash, quiet, and well behaved. If the dog is a small breed then they have to sit in the cart quietly. If they started to be disrespectful (like barking alot) we will tell them to leave the store.
All the stores here in the UK have a strict policy on service animals only. There is the odd pet friendly store but yeah. We also have pet friendly outdoor public places and pet friendly holidays. Some outdoor places are non pet friendly and just service animals.
No shade but I dont like how you complained about the other white dog being at Goodwill. It was more calmer and ignored your dog like if it was trained.
THEY ARE NOT DOGS WHEN THEY ARE BEING USED FOR SERVICE! THEY ARE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT! YOU WOULDNT TELL A PERSON IN A WHEELCHAIR THAT THEY CANT COME IN BECAUSE OF THE WHEELCHAIR
For a second I thought I recognized that path and deck you walked on... But surely you aren't over where the Gators are kept at that zoo XD Plus you said park lol.
Honestly though... That white dog looked at max once and then stopped... then the dog was chill... could've been in training?... it was walking nicely too..... This makes me extremely uncomfortable to start PA with my pup in training... because every one will just think FAKE if he were to make the slightest mistake.....
its fairly easy to tell when a dogs in training or its just a chill pet. this dog was far behind handler, sniffed, etc. stop giving random dogs the benefit of the doubt when its clear as day its a pet.
That police officer needs to be educated. Just because the place is privately owned, doesn’t mean that they can deny a service dog. If they are open to the general public, they have to allow service dogs. If they weren’t open to the general public then they don’t have to
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), privately owned businesses that serve the public, such as restaurants, hotels, retail stores, taxicabs, theaters, concert halls, and sports facilities, are prohibited from discriminating against individuals with disabilities. The ADA requires these businesses to allow people with disabilities to bring their service animals onto business premises in whatever areas customers are generally allowed.......... I'm assuming that the police officer was not completely aware of this...law enforcement should be required to learn about service animals
ash blu I believe that the police officer was aware of all of that but was also stating that a privately owned business is able to deny access to any person. So they can’t deny access based solely off of service animals but the business owner could legally argue that Lexi and friends weren’t allowed in for some made up reason to cover for not wanting their service dogs in there. Totally messed up but I think the police officer was just trying to be as neutral as possible
I am training to become a public relations officer and I have to remind others about this. Service dogs are allowed in any business that is open to the public. A business is not legally allowed to kick somebody out because of a service dog.
Catherine Olivia but unfortunately he was wrong! I didn’t even want to watch the video because of the title! Of Course I totally get it why they did it but still.
Based upon what has been posted on THIS channel, it appears that most people do not stand in opposition to SD Dakota. He conducts himself like - at the very least - a well-behaved pet that could easily pass for a genuine service dog. It is Lexie, her teen posse, their sophomoric behavior, foul language and caustic attitude that they bring into public which many adults find so offensive.

ADA or no ADA, in a court of law, she would not have a foot to stand on. Willfully creating a public nuisance for the purpose of generating social media views (ie, for profit), is not a disability. It's not about the dog.
@@markcassian8750 that was deep. It is true. I have mentioned before that if she wants to be a service dog team then she should act like it. If I acted like that with my guide dog then my guide dog school would take him away from me for his safety. A real service dog team wouldn't cause a problem at a business or in public.
Hi, I'm not entirely part of the service dog community since I don't have one. BUT! I am in the disability community, and the companion that helps me get through my day is my bunny Mercury. I've been in situations where people have given odd glances and stares because not only is he an ESA which makes it harder for traveling to stores but also he's a bunny making the situation more irregular. One of my first flights traveling with him, the Delta receptionist looked over my paperwork and did some fancy stuff on the computer but the whole time she had this snotty and rude look. Like "sure doesn't look like an ESA." My point is that you're not alone and sharing good and bad stories to spread awareness is a smart thing, i agree and i support you
I don’t normally agree with how you guys go about things but this time you guy did a phenomenal job representing the service dog community. Great job! The girl talking to the officer was very well spoken and knowledgeable
99% of stores do this, I have said something to cooperate for multiple stores and they say that’s their policy because they don’t want to be sued. I explained that if the pets interfere with my service dog than you will definitely be sued. I explained how many times myself and my dog have been attacked and I was injured because my dog was tasking and was attacked while help me through a health issue. I had to run with my dog in the middle of a shaking attack to avoid a dog attack. These pets are a safety and health issue to people like us.
The officer was totally absolutely wrong. me and my family on a privately on business we cannot refuse to let a service animal in the building if we do we can lose our license 🤦🏼♀️
Lexie I've watched your videos for quite a while. My name is Justina, & I suffer from Complex Postramatic Stress Disorder & many, many medical issues. To hear your expressions in this video truly touched my heart. When I started owner training my first service dog I felt very similar to you in the start of your UA-cam page. Now I rarely try to speak up on the rights of those who are disabled. You asked for possible ideas, I may have one you might be interested in. The city I live in is exploding with pet owners abusing the rights of service dog teams. I personally have talked to law enforcement many times and even taken people to court over this issue. The problem seems to be coming from how the ADA is regulated. That being said I have been asked to start looking for SD & SDiT handlers to voice together the issues we are facing in regards to poorly trained animals in public spaces & possible solutions. Like you stated this is an ongoing problem and it's exhausting, so I think it's time handlers support each other in this fight. When you feel rested please PM me. Please keep your eyes on the prize, and know your not alone in your fight!
One way I advocate/educate is offering education to staff meetings. I offer presentations/demonstrations to schools, libraries, any where I get a chance. Recently I took over staff training on service animals for a library chain and presented to a little over 50 people. You could try to do something like that?
Dose it really matter that much if people bring there dogs into stores i mean if your dog is well trained and the other dog isnt bothering you why should it matter
Yes Goodwill is and was about helping people with disabilities. I used to work with kids with disabilities and one of the things we used to do was "community based training" (CBT) we would do things like go to a restaurant to teach the kids how to behave in that setting, how to order, etc. or we would go to the mall, again to teach them what to expect and expose them to ... society. One of the things we occasionally got to do was take the kids for a couple of hours to work and Goodwill stores was one of the places we would go. The kids would sort or stuff envelopes, or put price tags, whatever needed doing.
Anywhere that allows general public access HAS to allow your service animal, UNLESS the animal is either misbehaving, or not housebroken (usually only when it wasnt professionally trained) OR if its presence could become dangerous (for example, if at a zoo, the animals on display are either pray or predator of a dog, and it causes those animals to act out, the workers are legally allowed to ask that the service dog be removed, as stated by the ADA. Or, a service animal may be allowed in a building, but not permitted into areas dedicated specifically for people with dog allergies.) A privately owned building that does NOT allow general public access, may refuse entry with a service animal. Thats about it. A store cant refuse entry if your dog was being well behaved.
That officer needs better training. He is trying to be nice but he is straight up incorrect and all he needs to do is look up the law to know he’s wrong but they for some reason don’t take the time. P.s your friend is so calm I would be shook
Ok but random question how many service dogs does she ACTUALLY have 🙄 cause I see Dakota and she'll say thats her service dog then when shes filming theres like 4 other dogs that are also her? service dogs
emmy fern she has two ((from what I know)) Dakota was hers then she was getting a little old and she’s preparing her to retire and got a puppy (max) who’s she’s not training
That white dog definitely acted better than Max. She's being so judgmental and critical of every freaking person with their dog in public and it's annoying. Like, I'd believe that white dog was a service dog 100%.
Emmalese K yup. I agree. And then for her to go and call goodwill about the white dog? All because her dog is “in training and the other dogs are disrupting him” even though that pup didn’t do a damn thing!? I don’t get it. She acts like she should be the only person with a damn dog. Ugh makes me so mad.
Its so true if its open to the public then yes service animals are welcome but then again, it was suck for a person with a wheelechaire to be turned down,
Refusing service and/or being rude to a service Dog and handler is not only unprofessional behavior, but it is illegal at both state and federal levels.
Circle K has done something similar to my mom and her dog. He's trained , he was wearing a vest, and they told her that he couldn't go in, he's a small dog.
How do you know if the other dogs in the Thrift store weren't service dogs? Did you ask them? If you didn't (which I think is rude to do so) you were just making a complaint based on your feelings not fact.
Can somebody please tell me who is Zeus and who is max. I'm so confused. I think that Zeus is the littler one with the brown vest and max is the bigger one with the black vest. Am I right?
The Ada actually makes it nearly impossible to weed out the fakes, but if it were any stricter you would be harassed everytime you went anywhere. So the idea is to remove barriers for disabled people, the Ada laws do that but to block fakes disabled people would loose rights.
They can help a ton. Mine is random nuerological issues, but Ford has to help me balance, catch me if my nerve damaged leg doesn't lift and I fall(helps me fall safely), and then holds me down during seizures(mostly at night). Without him I'd be in a wheelchair for my own safety. But picking the right sized dog and harness type is a biggy. Along with waiting as long as possible to spay/neuter because of the joint stress a mobility dog has to handle... And of course joint vitamins.

@@misslashondacade6973 Depending on how long you're willing to wait you can check out different organizations, but that also generally takes alot of cash. If possible many owner train But anythingpawsable .com goes over basics and options... Been a while since I looked, sorry heading to bed but I'll check in the morning if u have any questions ❤️
Thanks to you I’ve learned a lot bout service dogs and learned not to distract/say hi to them and pointing out fake service dogs vs real ones so thanks for that♥️💓
Goodwill sucks. I had a panic attack ( rare) there and begged them to call my husband. He was at the other end of the small strip mall, buying milk. They said it as against thier policy. Finally a customer helped me. Bless her for helping a handicapped senior. I call corporate to let them know they should change the policy. They acted anoyed. So much for goodwill having a heart for the handicapped.
Lexi:"there's another freaking dog in here...this is Goodwill OMG." Me: refers back to another video of Lexi in Goodwill asking an employee if they allow pets and the response being Yes, then her going back outside to read the service dog only sign proving that they were breaking thier own policy For future reference find the store number and contact the goodwill corporate office with the name of the person you spoke to ect also Twitter is a way to get the word across. Goodwill could care less about disabled people like they say, they are more retail now and rarely hire a disabled person nowadays. I tried getting a job there and I had 2 years retail experience even and was turned away.
Hi Lexi you might be proud but I just educated my mom and a restaurant server about service dogs well kind of not aggressively but just said like ya service handlers don’t legally have to provide paperwork on there service dog. No I don’t have a service dog but I have watched your videos for a long time so everything I know I learned from your videos. Ilysm Lexi💛💛💛💛
People need to chill and learn what service dogs are for. I mean people literally go through so much, which is why they have a service dog, so why give the person more stress about it.
Because people are assholes.
Agreed
Maddy Castello it just kinda sucks that people fake their service dogs.
It might be because there's so many fake service dogs, the respect for them has lessened.
Robin Jones yeah but people need to realize their boundaries and shouldn’t blow up like that.
Unfortunately the officer is wrong in this situation. Yes, they are allowed to refuse service to any PERSON. What that means is that she could've come out and said "you guys are not allowed to come in here," and if she had left it at that then it would not be breaking the law. However, because she came out and said, "you cannot come in here because of your dogs," she passed over into violating the ADA. It would be the same as if she walked up to someone in a wheelchair and said, "you cannot come in here because you are in a wheelchair." You have grounds to file an ADA complaint and win because you have her on video refusing service specifically because of the dogs.
Mhosler this is the exact reason why I video tape everything.
@@lexiegodbout yeah girl! And you probably want to contact the department of the officer and let them know because he was very very wrong. They SHOULD know the laws considering that is their job but 🤷♀️ I know there is a lot of grey area but this isn't grey area at all. He should've watched the video before passing judgment.
Restaurants have open food, it does NOT matter if it’s privately owned or a flippin Franchise. If they are open to the public they CANNOT discriminate based upon your dogs. You absolutely could file a grievance with the ADA
Hi
She has to show the owner documentation proving she has a disability though
The police officer was incorrect. ADA law is federal and it trumps any other law including private owned business or public.
He even said he was just going off of the top of his head to good for him for knowing as much as he did
People get this false idea that because a business is privately owned that the ADA doesn’t apply. But most of the businesses in the USA are privately owned, but they are open to the public, such as a restaurant, a clothing store , etc. so the ADA applies to any business that is open to the public. Even if you have to pay admission such as buying a ticket, like amusement parks, etc.
Susan Ronan No the police officer is correct. Unfortunately ADA can’t deal with “trespassing” orders. Private properties can trespass anyone for any reason and do not have to give any reason... the Police have to carry through. Like he “It does apply but it doesn’t” that’s the best it can be. The police handled the situation is in a very good way. Attitude is everything.
@@karenmcmillan7496 yes I agree. All businesses must comply with ADA. And yes the officer was incorrect with his answer. Perhaps the department needs to study the ADA and become more knowledgeable with helping the disabled. I have found this is one subject many police officers are unfamiliar with.
Not always, the law with the least restricting is the one that you follow. Example SDit do not on a federal law level allowed public access. Quite a few states, have a law allowing SDit full public access. So your wrong sorry.
That access issue made me heart race. You’re protected under the ADA privately owned or not. They are open to the public, anyone can walk in, you cannot exclude you for having a piece of medical equipment. It’s like telling someone with a wheelchair they aren’t welcome. It’s ridiculous and scary for people with service animals. I’m so sorry you had to go through that Lexie.
Elizabeth Jewel exactly... Like next are they gonna say ”Ma’am, we do not allow wheelchairs here, got must stand up and walk” like for real 💔
Basically it’s a loophole... “yes we have to let service dogs have public access, but we have the right not to serve anyone for any reason, so you have to leave.” I’m super worried about something like this happening when I get an apartment with my ESA. Under ADA law they have to allow ESAs housing rights, but I’m worried they will deny me for some other made up reason, etc. Or try to say because of his size or something ...
@@aleccross1796 actually it would be the FHA for housing. ADA is public access, FHA is housing, and ACAA is for flying :)
Exactly, that place needs to be sued under the Ada law.
Based upon what has been posted on THIS channel, it appears that most people do not stand in opposition to SD Dakota. He conducts himself like - at the very least - a well-behaved pet that could easily pass for a genuine service dog. It is Lexie, her teen posse, their sophomoric behavior, foul language and caustic attitude that they bring into public which many adults find so offensive. Any business owner or store manager who spends enough time on this channel to discern her modus operandi, would be more than justified in refusing Lexi access to their properties. ADA or no ADA, in a court of law, she would not have a foot to stand on. Willfully creating a public nuisance for the purpose of generating social media views (ie, for profit), is not a disability.
It's not about the dog.
Ok...public, private, whatever. They are not legally allowed to refuse you service. If you were blind and couldn’t access the store? MAJOR problem. If they continue to refuse you service or access, file a law suit.
Right
Caitlin Sullivan.... u have mah first name and your name is spelt just like mine!!!! Omg!!! Everyone spells their name differently but they are still versions of "Caitlin." 😆😆😆😆
yeah no. if you need a service dog you need a service dog. if something happens and they are not there they cannot assist the person in need. people think their so smart about this when they have no experience on it.🙄
Honestly the problems with private stores and the use of power to override other laws are sadly on the rise. For people with health issues its becoming a concern
They an not refuse a service dog. But they can refuse an emotional support animal that is not papered. And they just passed the law that legally the business is now allowed to ask for papers as the miss use of the service animal

@TEIJA SMITH
We've had that, we just kept the grouch Inna different room since she was old anyway and we had some FUN times when she started forgetting who I was....
I perfected how to pin a dog without being injured on that dog.
Senile fatty that she was.
She only remembered me the night she passed last year.
Was my mom's dog, but she was at the hospital with my sister who was having her baby....
So I got to climb in and over the dog to give pain meds cuz she was in her kennel facing the back and couldn't move.
Just whined.
Wound up ignoring my phone cuz I was told not to do it..
She was our first large dog as kids, I couldn't let her hurt like that.
But she sat up and turned around after a while and it was the first time in over a year she hadn't acted aggressive at me.
ER anyway I just meant it's not easy, but we managed to keep her separate from my SD pretty good.
Have a nice night!

I would sue that gas station... firstly that cop is wrong BECAUSE you have proof on your video that the reason they refused to serve you was because of the dogs. That's 100% illegal no matter what! That's not a sufficient reason for her to refuse service to you.
"Under federal anti-discrimination laws, businesses can refuse service to any person for any reason, unless the business is discriminating against a protected class. At the national level, protected classes include: Race or color. National origin or citizenship status."
"The right of public accommodation is also guaranteed to disabled citizens under the Americans with Disabilities Act, which prohibits discrimination by private businesses based on disability."
You can definitly use them. And personally I wouldn't if that woman was nice about it but she was a real F***ing B****! So out of spite I would....
J Ri ok but no need to attack the cop. In the video he even said that he was off of the top of his head. It can be very hard to remember all of those laws. I’m sure you searched it up, well the cop doesn’t have enough time to search up the laws. Not all cops are bad.
@@karleech1121 I wasn't attacking him. I just said he is wrong "because of ....." cops aren't always right is what I'm saying. I'm attacking that woman cause she was rude and disrespectful and breaking the law.

@@markcassian8750
It does not matter what her attitude is like. When the first thing someone says is "your service dog is not allowed here" that's breaking the law and she can say whatever she wants after that... it's illegal to deny access to someone with a service dog and I understand why she gets upset because I have a service dog and that crap gets old real quick... not only are we dealing with disabilities, we have dogs that help us with it and make it easier for us to be safe, but you have people like this woman that makes you feel lesser than because of the dog when you have a legitimate reason to have the dogn and she is complaining about the dog she just said "no big dogs qllowed" in the video LOL so they can be used for that because she has proof and if I was her I would... that's all I'm saying.

Hey guys! So glad you’re enjoying the video! The gas station incident took a toll on my mental health for a bit. We ultimately decided it wasn’t worth it and left. As for the responding officer, yes he was wrong, many police officers don’t know or aren’t familiar with Ada laws and our rights. That’s why it’s important to stand up to people and fight for your given rights. There’s hundreds of laws officers need to remember, service animal ones aren’t always a priority. Officers can’t know every single thing in the book. This is clear discrimination. I will update soon in a new video. Thanks so much for the support and feedback!
They can't know everything but service dogs are a big deal so you would think they'd at least know about them.
Service dog don’t need to wear a vest?
That white dog didnt seem so bad. Could have been in training.. he wasnt barking or even moving to sniff or whatever. Still wrong to fake them, and stuff.. but if they are trained and not bothering anyone... they could be a service dog just not vested. I love your vids I'm not trying to diss or anything. Just voicing my opinion. It's sad that those people did that to you.. they should be ashamed for doing that to you.. I'm glad you are able to stand up and face them for people who cant.
About the white dog filmed in the goodwill: Thats the thing though... The ADA says a service dog doesnt need to wear a vest. They only need to be task trained and not disruptive. Which this dog did not seem disruptive at all. The dog even completely ignored Max when walking by. Its not fair for the Service dog community to judge so much when the dog isnt causing any issue.
Yes, I completely agree. I feel like Sometimes Lexie is very quick to get defensive when she sees a dog, even when the dog is minding it’s own business

A business can't deny you service because of your service dog.
Solely based on your service dog. Anything else yes they can.
@@DedraAmbroseandSnow
Incorrect. They cannot refuse to serve you because of your skin color, because of your sexual orientation, and because of your disabilities.
That's right. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they should deny service only if the served has caused damage to property or others at the location of the buisness. Like if someone intentionally breaks a table or injures another customer at a restaurant, the restaurant could ban them from going there. Right?
@First Last That's NOT a service dog then
Only way a store can refuse a service animal is if said animal is out of control and or not house trained
???
I mean I get that you have a service dog and that other animals can be distracting but like ??? Those animals weren’t barking or anything I’d get it if they were barking but when that one walked by the second time it didn’t even look it just kept walking ???
Idk maybe I’m just confused
Privately owned or franchised, you allow the public in, therefore gotta follow the law especially federal law
Your goal in educating people on Service animals is working out well! Before I found your videos, I had no idea about the ADA, what types of service animals there are, the difference between SDs and ESAs, etc. and now my friends know it all, too, because I told them about your videos and all the stuff I learned from them. I thank you 100% for educating me.
Stealthtail funny thing is i noticed a “fake service dog” at a historical park thanks to her. I notified the park people and they said they noticed it to. They couldn’t really do anything because they can only ask the 2 questions.
AssasainWolf101 just out of curiosity how did you notice?
@@iloveowls90 it was probably very loud and not at all calm like service dogs are supposed to be
You really think every dog that did not have a vest you think it’s a pet my service dog does not wear a vest and the white dog seems like a service dog and by the ada service dog don’t have to wear a vest
My dog doesn’t wear a vest either nor do I work him on a leash which gets between his tasks and can cause issues for both of us as well as the best so simply he wears a bandana with a sewn on patch just so I don’t have to hear people complain or whine
Haylee Pivovaroff yess my dogs still in training so she still has a small leash but ya
You are right but the white dog lost focus and there wasn’t any corrections. I do think she does tend to jump to conclusions sometimes tho so...
The officer literally doesn’t know the ada law does he? Anywhere where the general public is allowed, service dogs are allowed
DO YOU KNOW THE ADA LAW IF BUILDINGS ARE ADA COMPLIANT THE RULES APPLY GET IT RIGHT OR YOU MAY GET INTO TROUBLE ??
Actually, the cop was WRONG. ADA law trumps the 'no dogs are allowed' thing.
They cannot by law even privately owned cannot tell you you can not hbe your service animal that cop and that lady needs to be more knowledgeable on the topic period if you was to get hurt because they refused you to have your service dog smh

I work at a circle k,🤦🏻♀️ service dogs are allowed there, privately owned or franchise, service dogs are allowed anywhere tbh. That lady tripping.
Vikki Jayyy there are a few places they aren't allowed. Some ICUs, OR and some locked psych units. Also, they can go in restaurants but not in the kitchen. Finally Reservation Casinos are sovereign land so they have their own rules. My dog has always been allowed but I had to show his id too
mloaolm13 service dogs don’t need an ID.
mloaolm13 if a therapy dog is allowed in a hospital, a service dog should definitely be allowed. But obviously not during a surgery.
As for the casino, ada is law and it states whether its private or public, they cannot deny you access because of your dog but they can if they dont like you which is really just another way of saying "Because of your dog" without actually saying it. There isn't any I'd to prove your dog is yours and is a service dog and helps you with tasks. It's just for people to give people money and "save face" with people who dont want to let you in the building. When in reality, it makes it hard for other people who actually know you dont need an id nor that an id exists for service dogs. Just like there is not certification or paperwork for service animals.
So I haven’t finished the video, but the “right to refuse service” does not apply if they are refusing you service BECAUSE OF THE DOGS. If it’s because you’re ugly or annoying or she doesn’t like your hair, fine. But NOT because of the dogs. Ughhhhhhhh.
Edit: also don’t ask the cops questions when you know the answers. Know your rights and INFORM the cops. Most of them have no clue about the law. Politely TELL them your rights and they can verify it themselves.
Correct me if I’m wrong but if it’s open to the public a service dog is allowed entrance, also HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEXI BOTH ME AND MY SD LOVE YOU, DOKOTA, AND MAXXXXXX!!!!!!
Youre correct
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), privately owned businesses that serve the public, such as restaurants, hotels, retail stores, taxicabs, theaters, concert halls, and sports facilities, are prohibited from discriminating against individuals with disabilities. The ADA requires these businesses to allow people with disabilities to bring their service animals onto business premises in whatever areas customers are generally allowed.
You are completely correct

They can for any reason at all, just not based on you having a service dog alone.
Max: *exists*
Circle K: I'm about to end this doggo's whole career
I love how she said they arent a franchise..yet there was another circleK down the road...🤣🤣
Regarding the dogs inside goodwill. I understand it could be frustrating ,but it is your service dogs job to work through it. Its part of his training to be able to ignore other dogs. It shouldnt interfere with him if he is properly trained. This is not me throwing hate this is just me expressing my own opinion. If my service dog reacted to other dogs then she clearly would need to go back to training. People love thir dogs and are gonna take them places. Thats why it's so important your service dog is properly trained for your dogs safety and others.
You can't tell someone if they need a service dog or not. Invisible disabilities exist people.
No ifs, ans, or buts about it.

"Yes, Ted?"

Can I just say how much you inspire me. I watch you everyday, only recently, and you are so strong. I suffer severe anxiety and have gone through a very traumatic experience, my mom hasn't taken me to someone to check if I'm okay, which sucks, because whenever I'm in a situation that was similar to the one I experienced, I completely break down. Watching you tells me that I'm not the only person who suffers with this, and it seriously helps. I just seriously wish that my mom would help me.
23:53 when max (i think that’s his name) was slipping while he was trying to catch a treat 😍 what a cutie!
Where I work we don't question people about their animals unless they are causing a problem. People have comfort animals that make it possible for them to be in public. Anxiety is real just like the 100's of other issues people face. You don't know why they have the animal with them. Live and let live. Your Service Animal will still alert if trained properly no matter how many other dogs are around. The example I saw at the Goodwill was a well behaved dog not bothering your dog. It's all going to be ok. Keep posting! Have a blessed day! 😀
They always say "It's privately owned!" and I just want to yell "IT'S A .GOV"

I want to start a program that teaches everyone about service animals. Cause a lot of people and employees don't know or understand what these animals are doing. Trained animals should be the only ones allowed in stores anyway but service animals are working to keep their handlers safe. It's not a joke or anything to poke and make fun of. That should be a lesson for the people that don't know. Even go in schools and teach kids not to pet, distract, etc. Educate everyone on this. I'd love to help spread the word. I'm disabled an I want to train my new pup. I lost my 11 yr old dog almost a yr ago. Keep up the good work spreading awareness on the service animals and what they do.
When I am an adult I will be a Service dog trainer, I have decided that I will work very hard to keep pets out of stores and defend people with service animals. there are certain laws that people need to follow but are not. so I plan on working super hard to enforce the ADA laws and health codes of stores. but I will be nice and calm with other people so that they know i'm worth listening to. I'm hoping that I can help make a difference in this world about keeping people that have disabilities safe along with there Service dogs.
I'm also hoping to do this too. I'm already relatively good at baisic training but I'd love to learn how to apply service dog training in practice.
I would just like to point out that when you were pretending to faint, that was a perfect example of why SDs aren’t required to be on leash 24/7. You can see how the leash twisted up and stuff and somewhat get in the way.

DUDE ME AND MY FRIEND WITH SERVICE DOG A FEW DAYA AGO GOT THE COPS CALLES ON US FOR HIS SERVICE DOG.
Lexie I am so impressed with how much you have grown and matured in the last year. It did bother me how you used to get into peoples faces over service dog issues, but I can understand where you are coming from with having PTSD. I have multiple disabilities and I am trying to training my dog (German Shepherd/Husky Mix) to be my service dog. Right now we go to pet friendly places for training. Today we were at Lowes with a trainer and people kept trying to pet and distract my dog and the trainer kind of got into their faces. It bothered me when this happened. I think these people should be confronted, but I think it can be done in a kind way. I really believe that many people just don't understand and they should be educated, but in a nice way. That is why your channel (this channel) is so important. I love your videos! Yes, many of the titles are dramatic, but clearly it is working! I don't see anything wrong with it. Also, thank you for advocating that there are other ways to complete high school other than the traditional way. I think you are really brave and hard working. The lady at the gas station was absolutely ridiculous and I am sorry that happened, but you and your crew handled the situation beautifully!
I used to work at a Goodwill store and what I was told about pets in the store is that they are allowed as long as they are on a leash, quiet, and well behaved. If the dog is a small breed then they have to sit in the cart quietly. If they started to be disrespectful (like barking alot) we will tell them to leave the store.
All the stores here in the UK have a strict policy on service animals only. There is the odd pet friendly store but yeah. We also have pet friendly outdoor public places and pet friendly holidays. Some outdoor places are non pet friendly and just service animals.
I am so glad that you have a UA-cam channel with Nolan and your dogs are well behaved because those are the kind of dogs I want when I’m older
No shade but I dont like how you complained about the other white dog being at Goodwill. It was more calmer and ignored your dog like if it was trained.
Abigail alvarez thank you I also noticed that
That was my thoughts. How did she know it wasn't a SD?
Thats what i was thinking
Yeah, and goodwill allows dogs as long as you can hold them and they don’t bark.
@Maria Martinez but ignoring other dogs should be among the first things you teach a sdit
THEY ARE NOT DOGS WHEN THEY ARE BEING USED FOR SERVICE! THEY ARE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT! YOU WOULDNT TELL A PERSON IN A WHEELCHAIR THAT THEY CANT COME IN BECAUSE OF THE WHEELCHAIR
I mean technically they're still genetically dogs. Not that you're wrong.
Prince Hydron they are considered medical equipment.
But yes they are still living beings of course

But surely you aren't over where the Gators are kept at that zoo XD

I'm actually really happy that your a handler than understands that a dog is a dog and they can be playful and you let them be norm dogs
Honestly though...
That white dog looked at max once and then stopped... then the dog was chill... could've been in training?... it was walking nicely too.....
This makes me extremely uncomfortable to start PA with my pup in training... because every one will just think FAKE if he were to make the slightest mistake.....
its fairly easy to tell when a dogs in training or its just a chill pet. this dog was far behind handler, sniffed, etc. stop giving random dogs the benefit of the doubt when its clear as day its a pet.

Lexi- completely ignores him
That police officer needs to be educated. Just because the place is privately owned, doesn’t mean that they can deny a service dog. If they are open to the general public, they have to allow service dogs. If they weren’t open to the general public then they don’t have to
Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), privately owned businesses that serve the public, such as restaurants, hotels, retail stores, taxicabs, theaters, concert halls, and sports facilities, are prohibited from discriminating against individuals with disabilities. The ADA requires these businesses to allow people with disabilities to bring their service animals onto business premises in whatever areas customers are generally allowed..........
I'm assuming that the police officer was not completely aware of this...law enforcement should be required to learn about service animals
ash blu I believe that the police officer was aware of all of that but was also stating that a privately owned business is able to deny access to any person. So they can’t deny access based solely off of service animals but the business owner could legally argue that Lexi and friends weren’t allowed in for some made up reason to cover for not wanting their service dogs in there. Totally messed up but I think the police officer was just trying to be as neutral as possible
I am training to become a public relations officer and I have to remind others about this. Service dogs are allowed in any business that is open to the public. A business is not legally allowed to kick somebody out because of a service dog.
Catherine Olivia but unfortunately he was wrong! I didn’t even want to watch the video because of the title! Of
Course I totally get it why they did it but still.
Based upon what has been posted on THIS channel, it appears that most people do not stand in opposition to SD Dakota.

It is Lexie, her teen posse, their sophomoric behavior, foul language and caustic attitude that they bring into public which many adults find so offensive. Any business owner or store manager who spends enough time on this channel to discern her modus operandi, would be more than justified in refusing Lexi access to their properties. ADA or no ADA, in a court of law, she would not have a foot to stand on. Willfully creating a public nuisance for the purpose of generating social media views (ie, for profit), is not a disability.

@@markcassian8750 that was deep. It is true. I have mentioned before that if she wants to be a service dog team then she should act like it. If I acted like that with my guide dog then my guide dog school would take him away from me for his safety. A real service dog team wouldn't cause a problem at a business or in public.
Hi, I'm not entirely part of the service dog community since I don't have one. BUT! I am in the disability community, and the companion that helps me get through my day is my bunny Mercury. I've been in situations where people have given odd glances and stares because not only is he an ESA which makes it harder for traveling to stores but also he's a bunny making the situation more irregular. One of my first flights traveling with him, the Delta receptionist looked over my paperwork and did some fancy stuff on the computer but the whole time she had this snotty and rude look. Like "sure doesn't look like an ESA." My point is that you're not alone and sharing good and bad stories to spread awareness is a smart thing, i agree and i support you
I don’t normally agree with how you guys go about things but this time you guy did a phenomenal job representing the service dog community. Great job! The girl talking to the officer was very well spoken and knowledgeable

99% of stores do this, I have said something to cooperate for multiple stores and they say that’s their policy because they don’t want to be sued. I explained that if the pets interfere with my service dog than you will definitely be sued. I explained how many times myself and my dog have been attacked and I was injured because my dog was tasking and was attacked while help me through a health issue. I had to run with my dog in the middle of a shaking attack to avoid a dog attack. These pets are a safety and health issue to people like us.
If she told me that the person can see me in the cameras I would have posed like a fashion model 😂
That cop was so chill and explained things great
She said “periodt*
Max looks so offended when Lexie lets Zeus do DPT when she fake faints. 🤣🤣🤣
The officer was totally absolutely wrong. me and my family on a privately on business we cannot refuse to let a service animal in the building if we do we can lose our license 🤦🏼♀️
Lexie I've watched your videos for quite a while.
My name is Justina, & I suffer from Complex Postramatic Stress Disorder & many, many medical issues.
To hear your expressions in this video truly touched my heart.
When I started owner training my first service dog I felt very similar to you in the start of your UA-cam page. Now I rarely try to speak up on the rights of those who are disabled.
You asked for possible ideas, I may have one you might be interested in.
The city I live in is exploding with pet owners abusing the rights of service dog teams.
I personally have talked to law enforcement many times and even taken people to court over this issue. The problem seems to be coming from how the ADA is regulated. That being said I have been asked to start looking for SD & SDiT handlers to voice together the issues we are facing in regards to poorly trained animals in public spaces & possible solutions. Like you stated this is an ongoing problem and it's exhausting, so I think it's time handlers support each other in this fight. When you feel rested please PM me.
Please keep your eyes on the prize, and know your not alone in your fight!
Thank You For Giving Me The Strength to know I can get a handle on my ptsd and also to encourage me into getting my new service dog
One way I advocate/educate is offering education to staff meetings. I offer presentations/demonstrations to schools, libraries, any where I get a chance. Recently I took over staff training on service animals for a library chain and presented to a little over 50 people. You could try to do something like that?
Dose it really matter that much if people bring there dogs into stores i mean if your dog is well trained and the other dog isnt bothering you why should it matter
Yes Goodwill is and was about helping people with disabilities. I used to work with kids with disabilities and one of the things we used to do was "community based training" (CBT) we would do things like go to a restaurant to teach the kids how to behave in that setting, how to order, etc. or we would go to the mall, again to teach them what to expect and expose them to ... society. One of the things we occasionally got to do was take the kids for a couple of hours to work and Goodwill stores was one of the places we would go. The kids would sort or stuff envelopes, or put price tags, whatever needed doing.
“The ones that bite your ankles”
This head me dead. I own a chihuahua and Ik exactly what he means 😂😂
Anywhere that allows general public access HAS to allow your service animal, UNLESS the animal is either misbehaving, or not housebroken (usually only when it wasnt professionally trained) OR if its presence could become dangerous (for example, if at a zoo, the animals on display are either pray or predator of a dog, and it causes those animals to act out, the workers are legally allowed to ask that the service dog be removed, as stated by the ADA. Or, a service animal may be allowed in a building, but not permitted into areas dedicated specifically for people with dog allergies.) A privately owned building that does NOT allow general public access, may refuse entry with a service animal. Thats about it. A store cant refuse entry if your dog was being well behaved.
That officer needs better training. He is trying to be nice but he is straight up incorrect and all he needs to do is look up the law to know he’s wrong but they for some reason don’t take the time. P.s your friend is so calm I would be shook
Sunnysoul definitely needs some education . I find it very odd that law enforcement is not educated on this.
It may be private property, but it’s public access and anywhere the owner can go the SD can go.
The white dog was perfectly fine? Not being a mess and acting better than max
it annoys me that she just films them, like leave them alone the dog isnt acting out ;-;
Ok but random question how many service dogs does she ACTUALLY have 🙄 cause I see Dakota and she'll say thats her service dog then when shes filming theres like 4 other dogs that are also her? service dogs
emmy fern she has two ((from what I know)) Dakota was hers then she was getting a little old and she’s preparing her to retire and got a puppy (max) who’s she’s not training
That white dog definitely acted better than Max. She's being so judgmental and critical of every freaking person with their dog in public and it's annoying. Like, I'd believe that white dog was a service dog 100%.
Emmalese K yup. I agree. And then for her to go and call goodwill about the white dog? All because her dog is “in training and the other dogs are disrupting him” even though that pup didn’t do a damn thing!? I don’t get it. She acts like she should be the only person with a damn dog. Ugh makes me so mad.
Its so true if its open to the public then yes service animals are welcome but then again, it was suck for a person with a wheelechaire to be turned down,
36:17, my best friend is a ginger and she has lots of souls. None of them are hers but whatever lol
Refusing service and/or being rude to a service Dog and handler is not only unprofessional behavior, but it is illegal at both state and federal levels.
I love your videos and your a great person have a great day ps happy 17th birthday ❤️🥳😘🥰😊
Circle K has done something similar to my mom and her dog. He's trained , he was wearing a vest, and they told her that he couldn't go in, he's a small dog.
How do you know if the other dogs in the Thrift store weren't service dogs? Did you ask them? If you didn't (which I think is rude to do so) you were just making a complaint based on your feelings not fact.
Can somebody please tell me who is Zeus and who is max. I'm so confused. I think that Zeus is the littler one with the brown vest and max is the bigger one with the black vest. Am I right?
“i can’t go in there alone. I pass out” ** hits vape**
Nolan in the back ground "that hurt like a bum cheek on a stick!" 😹🤣😂
Wait this was uploaded a few mins ago?
The Ada actually makes it nearly impossible to weed out the fakes, but if it were any stricter you would be harassed everytime you went anywhere. So the idea is to remove barriers for disabled people, the Ada laws do that but to block fakes disabled people would loose rights.
Wrong.... The ADA works as it's intended. It's business owners not following the law or learning it that are the problem.
I love watching your videos. I was born with Microsephaly and have a hard time walking and standing. so I'm thinking of getting a service dog.
They can help a ton.
Mine is random nuerological issues, but Ford has to help me balance, catch me if my nerve damaged leg doesn't lift and I fall(helps me fall safely), and then holds me down during seizures(mostly at night).
Without him I'd be in a wheelchair for my own safety.
But picking the right sized dog and harness type is a biggy.
Along with waiting as long as possible to spay/neuter because of the joint stress a mobility dog has to handle...
And of course joint vitamins.
I think anythingpawsable .com has info specifically on mobility dogs...
I haven't browsed thru there in a while tho.
Good luck in your research!
Feel free to @ me if you have questions for me ^-^~
@@wildlifesymphony wow! Dogs are so amazing! I'm just wondering how to get started on getting a service dog.
@@misslashondacade6973
Depending on how long you're willing to wait you can check out different organizations, but that also generally takes alot of cash.
If possible many owner train
But anythingpawsable .com goes over basics and options...
Been a while since I looked, sorry heading to bed but I'll check in the morning if u have any questions ❤️
Thanks to you I’ve learned a lot bout service dogs and learned not to distract/say hi to them and pointing out fake service dogs vs real ones so thanks for that♥️💓
First who else loves Lexie and Dakota??
Goodwill sucks. I had a panic attack ( rare) there and begged them to call my husband. He was at the other end of the small strip mall, buying milk. They said it as against thier policy. Finally a customer helped me. Bless her for helping a handicapped senior. I call corporate to let them know they should change the policy. They acted anoyed. So much for goodwill having a heart for the handicapped.
Lexi:"there's another freaking dog in here...this is Goodwill OMG."
Me: refers back to another video of Lexi in Goodwill asking an employee if they allow pets and the response being Yes, then her going back outside to read the service dog only sign proving that they were breaking thier own policy
For future reference find the store number and contact the goodwill corporate office with the name of the person you spoke to ect also Twitter is a way to get the word across.
Goodwill could care less about disabled people like they say, they are more retail now and rarely hire a disabled person nowadays. I tried getting a job there and I had 2 years retail experience even and was turned away.
Joyce Porter your an og
Hi Lexi you might be proud but I just educated my mom and a restaurant server about service dogs well kind of not aggressively but just said like ya service handlers don’t legally have to provide paperwork on there service dog. No I don’t have a service dog but I have watched your videos for a long time so everything I know I learned from your videos. Ilysm Lexi💛💛💛💛
Your service dogs are the cutest❤❤❤
I love how you guys can have so much fun and stay positive even though shit like that happens!
