The things I have done with my dogs include use of a kennel out of the way of everything even if possible in a neighboring office to ensure safety. At a minimum the dog should be given a place away from the center of activity where it is not likely to be stepped on, spilled on etc.

Think about areas where things are stored that are not part of the lab, backpacks etc where things are going to be relatively safe.

I am trying to make accommodations for a service dog in teaching labs at the university.. The students are required to wear closed-toe shoes and safety glasses as a minimum. We have a policy for service animals on campus, however, it doesn't really have any safety measures for the animals when they are in labs. Does anyone know of ways to keep the animal safe or have any experience with this type of situation?

Thanks for any help you are able to give.
