You can get a smock online, slap it on your dog, and take it anywhere. Nobody can do anything about it for fear of the backlash.
SERVICE animals need to be trained and certified. That fixes the problem.

The issue in California is that the police and/or any government officials aren't allowed to
ask the person if their service animal
is actually a service animal due to privacy laws.
I've run into this problem at Lake Hollywood this year because due to the pandemic, it's become a hotspot for families, joggers and walkers who often times bring their huge or small dogs with them at the lake, which is prohibited by law.
But the security guards aren't allowed to ask for proof, so it's become a disaster.
