Service dogs are trained to sit or lie quietly. I remember one lady at our church using a dog, and he was so quiet during church services that most people didn't even realize he was there.

If you think that the dog is "distracting" I guess hearing students could use that same excuse against having sign language terps in the class room, so I wouldn't go there if I were you.
