    Just chiming in to say that there are no legal registration of assistance dogs and only guide dogs from this specific charity will have that specific booklet. Most assistance dogs won't and many are trained privately by the handler and a trainer, and won't have any "formal" paperwork (because it doesn't exist) and they are still just as valid and legal assistance dogs

    Not all assistance dogs have the ADUK registration booklet, many of our dogs are owner trained because we cant spend £60k on an org dog or because we just want to train and raise the puppy ourselves

    Shame on those businesses that refuse access to Guide Dogs. They may need assistance themselves one day.

    This video is totally misleading and why people with assistance dog keep getting asked for paperwork and refused access there is no legal paperwork for an ad in the UK and not all dogs are trained by a charity or organisation

      Hi Andrew, thank you for bringing this to our attention. Assistance dogs trained by member organisations of ADUK will have formal identification in the form of:
      - ID tags on the dog’s collar
      - a harness
      - an organisation-specific branded dog jacket or harness
      - a lead slip
      Whilst all ADUK member trained assistance dogs will wear one, it is not a legal requirement for assistance dogs to wear a harness, jacket or lead slip.
      People who have an assistance dog from an ADUK member organisation will also have a yellow ADUK branded Identification Booklet. This Booklet has been designed to support assistance dog owners with their access to goods, facilities and services, as defined in the Equality Act 2010 (EA2010) in England, Scotland and Wales, and the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 (DDA 1995) in Northern Ireland.

    I am absolutely disgusted and outraged that you say 'Each one will have will have their own identity book to officially recognise them as a working dog.' This is complete and utter nonsense; the only dogs that will have this are ones that have been trained by ADUK or one of its approved training charities.
    In the UK it is not a legal requirement for an Assistance Dog to be trained by any of these organisations and as the biggest charity involved in the training of dogs you DO know better, but choose to give false information? I could hardly believe my ears.
    I am a wheelchair user and rely heavily on the help I get from my 'home-trained' Assistance Dog. He helps me dress, undress, open and close doors, fetch anything I ask him for (post, shoes, slippers, phone, remote control etc.). He picks up anything I drop, he loads (and empties) my washing machine plus many other things. Does the fact that he has no yellow book mean he's not an Assistance Dog?
    The UK charities that train Assistance Dogs (and Guide Dogs of course) do an absolutely fantastic job and quite rightly set the standards to which all home-trained dogs should be to. However, these charities cannot keep up with the demand and the costs involved are horrendous.
    I'd like to see this video removed because it is giving false and misleading information, so when I've finished this message I will be reporting it as such so that if you don't amend it; hopefully RUclips will delete it.

      I agree it needs to be removed. They showed the ADUK yellow sticker in the film. As I revised the EHRC 2017 guidance on assistance dogs with their senior solicitor they've lost their advertisement to get a sticker.

      The ADUK needs to be sued for disability discrimination, they've caused so many access issues by giving out information they know full well to be false.

    • @sharonlawrence4830
      @sharonlawrence4830 3 года назад +3

      We took over 400 complaints to EHRC about ADUk, they came back and said "yes they have been advertising their policies, but it's up to the service provider to ensure they obtain the correct information, not from a website"
