Service animals are allowed in their roles according to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA defines service animals as “dogs that are trained to perform a task directly related to a person’s disability”. The ADA also lists “emotional support or comfort animals” as not being service animals, unless it is related to the handler’s disability. All other animals and pets are prohibited.

In Oklahoma, the ADA requires service animals to be under the control of the handler at all times. This includes being leashed, harnessed, or tethered in some way, unless the tether interferes with the animals role. The animal must be housebroken and the handler is responsible for cleaning up after them. If the service animal becomes disruptive, the handler may be asked to remove the animal from the premises.
