Help open doors for guide dogs and their owners.

If you agree that everyone should be able to live their life freely and without the fear of access refusals then please sign our petition today. We want the Prime Minister to take action and strengthen the law when it comes to guide dog access refusals. 

We’re calling on the UK government to end access refusals and ensure that, unless there is a valid legal reason, that guide dog owners are welcomed with open doors when they use businesses, shops and taxis.

When you sign today, your first name and town will be added to the petition and presented to the Prime Minister:

“Guide dog owners are being turned away from businesses because they are illegally told their dog isn’t welcome. We call on the UK government to end to access refusals and ensure that, unless there is a valid legal reason, that guide dog owners are welcomed with open doors when they use businesses, shops and taxis.”

Please complete the form on this page.
