Use a harness or cape to identify your dog to others as a service dog.

If your dog is not fully trained yet, use an “in training” patch.  It will limit your access, but people will be more understanding if your dog misbehaves.

 

All of the equipment listed below can be found on Amazon.  None of the equipment is expensive.  If you plan to fly, some of the airlines require you to have your dog identified as a service dog.
