[RPPTL LandTen] ADA versus "no pets" rule

[Lainie J. Simon]

At the Boyer Institute this year, the speaker said that basically there is no such thing as a pet free building any more.  Examples included a basset hound "stress dog," yappy nippy yorkie "stress dogs" and the like.  And dogs over 20 lbs in small dog buildings.  The dogs don't need any special training or certification.  They just need some kind of doctor letter, which is $65 on the web.

Good luck.
