SERVICE DOG
PSAs PROGRAM
Educating the public on service dog culture, etiquette, and the laws that protect teams.
About the Program
Growing Up Guide Pup's PSA (Public Service Announcement) Program focuses on short-form educational content covering every aspect of service dog culture, etiquette, and law.
What We Do
- Produce professional-quality public service announcements about service dog topics
- Cover service dog etiquette, laws (ADA, FHA, ACAA), handler rights, and public access
- Create content that educates businesses, the general public, and even other handlers
- Distribute PSAs across social media, partner organizations, and educational institutions
- Develop new PSAs based on current events and community needs
Topics We Cover
- Service dog etiquette: how to behave around working teams
- ADA laws: what businesses and public spaces need to know
- Fair Housing Act: service dogs in housing
- Air Carrier Access Act: flying with service dogs
- Fake service dogs: the impact and how to address the issue
- Handler rights and responsibilities
- The difference between service dogs, therapy dogs, and emotional support animals
The Impact
Our public service announcements (PSAs) will help change perceptions and improve experiences for service dog teams everywhere. Each video is designed to be shareable, accessible, and impactful, turning complex legal and social topics into easy-to-understand content that anyone can learn from.
Why It Matters
Misunderstanding of service dogs leads to access denials, harassment of users, and the proliferation of fake service dogs. Education is the antidote. Every PSA we produce chips away at ignorance and builds a more informed, respectful society for service dog teams.
