    As someone who lives in Australia and is getting an assistance dog soon this seems extremely scary 😰 I’m so sorry this happened to you!! I have seen multiple people in America carry around ADA law cards, when I get my puppy I’m going to work up DDA (pre sure that’s our law-) law cards because I thought it was a good idea. Discrimination really needs to end. This really is disgusting to see, people need to calm down and realise they aren’t above the law.

    YES - IT’S NOT OK! Thx for sharing I know it was hard but you’re advocating for what is right & hopefully you will spare other handlers from this kind of discrimination & abuse! Stay strong & GOD bless!🐾

    im so sorry you had to go through this im tired of reading that ppl who have a disability and have a special dog are treated like they shouldnt be around what they dont seem to understand that at any time they or theirs could end up in the same situation keep the faith sweetie what goes around comes around

    That happened to me two years ago in a hotel in Iowa and I had to get a local lawyer on them and then they changed their tuna said I could stay there. I just went ahead and move to another hotel I'm a disability Advocate as well as a service dog owner and trainer sorry you went through that.

      Hi, I'm so sorry to hear you went through something similar.
      Experiences like this really can leave us feeling shaken, and I understand why you moved hotels. I didn't feel safe after what happened and wanted to leave too.
      I was worried that they might walk in and take my dog away from me or evict me but I didn't have anywhere else I could go.
      Thanks for watching my video and also I'm glad you are advocating for our rights, the world needs more people like us communicating about stuff like this. The world needs to know the truth. 💕

      That's a really good point to mention that there are established organisations that can assist with incidents of discrimination.

    4:43 First off, I applaud you for stepping out and speaking out for those that can’t. I am so sorry you went through that horrible experience at your hotel. I live in the US and am so thankful that I have never experienced anything negative when I have my service dog with me. Secondly, I want to lend my support to what you said. If we ever see someone being treated wrong in any way, it is our duty to do something, whether calling the police or stepping up and saying ENOUGH. If we stand together we are so much stronger.
    I just found your post and look forward to seeing more of your posts.

      Thank so much for your kind words and support. Yes, we really need to come together from all areas across the globe to support one another and stand up for our rights.
      I also look forward to sharing more videos in the future and hope to reach more people far and wide so I can continue sharing further insight and experiences. 💕
      Anyone that is experiencing discrimination, no matter the type, you are not alone. You matter and your experiences are valid.

    I’m from Melbourne and I’m looking at getting a service dog myself soon to help with my anxiety and other disabilities that I’ve got.
    If this happened to me when I actually got my own dog and I was travelling with it and was planning to stay in a motel somewhere and then this happened to me I would’ve just explained calmly and if they still didn’t want anything to do with me then I’d just leave and find somewhere else to stay instead! But if I’m booking ahead I’d always tell them that I’ve got a service dog which needs to be with me all the time and if they don’t care then I’ll find something else instead again!
    But I’d always try and remain calm and professional and not get angry with the staff and if all else fails I’d just leave!
    Plus I’d go online and print out some cards with some information about service dogs in Australia too and have a few of them with me in my bag. Plus I’d get a dog vest which would have patches on it stating it’s the law and other things on it too from what I’ve seen on videos from American dogs.
    But I’d always stand up for myself but if they still don’t listen then I’d just leave the area that I’m in and report them afterwards.

    Soo sorry dear. I too was yelled at during a stop at a gas station for a soda. It was humiliating and mean. I too tried to explain that it was a Federal law here in America. It feel on deaf ears and a stupid customer waiting actually called me a liar!

    Please tell me you’re following this up and taking further action? NO ONE has the right to do something that puts you in such a state or make you feel so scared. Could I also ask for more info about what happened, if you’re up to it?
    Btw, where abouts in aus are you? I ask because I’m in Toowoomba myself. And may I ask where you had this issue as I am wanting to start travelling around a bit, so I try to gather info about places that cause access issues, so I can avoid them. I’m also autistic, among several other challenges. Btw, you don’t have to answer any question you don’t want to.
    Thx for sharing. Nice to see another Aussie service dog handler on RUclips.

      Hello! Yes, I'm feeling much better now. A few nights I woke up to nightmares of Chloe being taken from me which was tough. I did struggle to leave my room for about a week afterwards because I had a lot of anxiety and was worried he might be out there somewhere waiting for Chloe and I. But thankfully nothing has happened since that call and I'm safe.
      I really appreciate your concern 💙🧡💙
