Printable Service Dog Etiquette Cards – Editable Template
Managing public interactions as a service dog handler can be exhausting, especially when people don’t know how to act around your working dog. This printable service dog etiquette card set offers a discreet and professional way to educate others without confrontation. Designed for individuals with service dogs — including veterans, individuals with PTSD, and people with invisible disabilities — these cards help you advocate for your rights while reducing the stress of repeated explanations.
Each card communicates clear do’s and don’ts around service dog interaction, highlighting boundaries, ADA access rights, and respectful conduct. With bold, easy-to-read text and attention-grabbing color coding (red for don’ts, green for appropriate behaviors), these cards offer an accessible way to communicate in busy or high-stress environments.

These cards were developed with real-world situations in mind, offering peace of mind and clear communication wherever you go.
