Under ADA, staff may ask only (1) "Is the animal required because of a disability?" and (2) "What work or task has the animal been trained to perform?" Anything beyond — proof of disability, proof of training, demonstration of the task — is a violation. The animal can be excluded only for actual disruption, not breed or perceived risk.
