Respecting Boundaries

This week, my friend, Sean, and his guide dog, Franklin, have been visiting me and Mason. Since my dorm is extremely tiny, we decided to do obediense and play with the dogs in the hallway. I have a friend who does this with her dog, and I figured there wouldn't be any issues. However, I was just informed that we have to stop. My RA was verry nice about it, but hhe said that service animals who were out in the hall had to be on some type of leash or harness at all times. The annoying thing is that this suveerly limits the obediense you can do with a dog. Sure, you can get the dog to sit, lay down, and heal, but you can't get the dog to stay in a certain spot, come when called, or heal off leash. Therefore, since the on leash commands are used constantly anyway, obediense is completely pointless. I realize that there are people who are not confortable around dogs, but we live here too and should have the same rights to the building as everyone else does. Besides, if approaching people is the issue for why service animals can't run free, how are they supposed to learn not to do it if they're nog given a chance to learn?
