We always go by the policy which is, the student owns the dog therefore
they have been trained to and should clear up after the dog. What we
offer at Coventry is that once a week or fortnight the Bursar would
offer for a member of staff maintenance person, to hose the pen out so
that at least a good clean was carried out every now and then. If the
student is having problems I suggest they or the disabilities office
contact Guide Dogs for the blind or whoever trained and officially owns
the dog for advice.
