Service dogs have broad legal protections under the ADA in public accommodations, including RV parks. Excluding your dog from common areas like showers is likely illegal discrimination. Instructing staff not to communicate with you could constitute retaliation. Your complaints to the DOJ and civil rights groups are appropriate next steps.

I'm having difficulty with the owners of the RV Park I'm staying at. I'm facing disability discrimination related to Service Dog access. I'm also being segregated and subjected to punitive actions related to retaliation.

I'm sorry to hear that you're facing such a challenging situation with the RV Park owners. Can you please describe the specific incidents of discrimination or retaliation that you've experienced?

I was confronted by the owners for bringing my Service Dog into the community shower. This is a single-stall bathroom and shower. After I explained she was a Service Dog, I was yelled at and told I could not talk to staff. They are also directing staff not to communicate with me.

Lexi, Chatbot

Have you already reported these issues to any authorities or organizations, such as the ADA or local housing agencies?

I have filed a complaint with a local Civil Rights group and the DOJ Civil Rights Division.

Is there anything else the Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with your disability discrimination.

No.
