German Bundestag: Union inquires about regulations for assistance dogs
Berlin: How are the regulations for assistance dogs in Germany? The Union parliamentary group submitted a minor question to the federal government on this topic. In the question, the Union members of parliament refer to the fact that assistance dogs can provide significant support to people with disabilities in everyday life. They therefore want to know, among other things, what regulations exist for the training and certification of assistance dogs and how the use of such dogs is regulated in public spaces.
According to the Union, assistance dogs are trained to perform specific tasks that can help people with disabilities overcome or alleviate the consequences of their disability. They can, for example, lead blind people, assist wheelchair users, or alert deaf people to noises. The use of assistance dogs in public spaces is generally permitted in Germany, but there are some restrictions. For example, assistance dogs are not allowed in areas where food is prepared or served.
The Union parliamentary group now wants to know from the federal government whether there are plans to change the regulations for assistance dogs. The MPs also ask whether the government is aware of any problems or gaps in the current regulations and whether there is a need for further training and certification requirements for assistance dogs. The federal government is expected to answer the minor question within two weeks.
