There are extremists who won’t let their children attend because females are present, people with their arms uncovered, because of association with the hated British state, monarchy, Armed Forces, etc. It wouldn’t be possible to cater for them all, even if we wanted to.
I used to take my big black german shepherd to squadron activities (not parade nights) - admittedly, I was the OC, but he was loved by the cadets and treated as the squadron mascot. We never had a problem.
Depends on who owns the building. In our RFCA orders it is clear statement that no animals are to be brought onto the premises under any circumstances unless permission granted from RFCA regarding service/assistance animals etc.
Not exactly, the law only applies to Public Places not Private ones which a military camp would be.
There are also lots of different types of dogs and while people tend to call them all assistance dogs that’s not exactly true (a therapy dog isn’t entitled to the same sort of access as a guide dog or other task trained dog for example).
Very cute, but I can’t see that working on a Labrador (for example). I think uniforms for mascots and regimental pets have always been fairly flexible, due to the different shapes and sizes of the animals involved.
rather than have the elastic from the brassard a new strap with quick release (rucksac style) clip can be used. Yes it wouldn’t reach the waist but is a quick option/solution
I used to have one for one of our rescue dogs, before we realised the benefits of a magnetic collar for his joints. You can get a matching lead as well.
