What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Ohio
I have a service dog that spends her outside time in a fenced in yard. My neighbors are all aware of her and are great with her. My concern is kids or others entering or releasing her form her control area. I do not want to put up do not trespass signs as they are tacky and I do not want my neighbors to have to look at them. the ORC 2921.321 has very specific wording on what type of action taken and what the penalty for said action is. I am going to have a local sign company print all relevant information on sign(s). Is simply stating the ORC enough, or should I spell out what the law says and if so what parts?
I was thinking of a sign that said "notice: this is a working service dog area of control. It is a violation of ORC 2921.321 to Release the dog from its area of control; enter the area of control of the dog without the consent of the served person, including placing food or any other object or substance into that area."
Or would a simple "Notice: this is a working service dog area of control and is protected by ORC 2921.321"
Do I have to spell out the law or simply state the code number?
Section (C) - (2) states that "the offender has actual knowledge that the dog is an assistance dog."
to clarify (4) " Assistance dog," "blind," and "mobility impaired person" have the same meanings as in section 955.011 of the Revised Code.
Thank you
The charges can be very serious, in fact they are the exact same as a police dog, from what I read.
