Under what condition may you require a service animal to leave a premises?

A service animal may be required to leave a premises if it is out of control. This condition refers to situations where the animal is behaving in a manner that disrupts the environment or poses a threat to others. For instance, if the animal is aggressive, excessively barking, or unable to be controlled by its handler, it can lead to safety concerns for both people and other animals in the vicinity.

It is important to note that service animals are specifically trained to perform tasks for individuals with disabilities, and their behaviors can significantly affect their ability to provide that assistance. Therefore, the focus is on their controllability and behavior in public settings.

Other conditions, such as the animal barking or being unregistered, do not inherently justify requiring a service animal to leave. A barking service animal may be communicating something or responding to its environment, and unregistered service animals can still provide support. However, the fundamental responsibility lies in ensuring that the animal is well-trained and under control, which is critical for maintaining a safe and functional environment.
