The definition of a service dog is a dog that has been individually trained to assist a disabled person with their disability (this naturally includes proper public behavior). Once that training occurs and the dog behaves properly in public and does at least one task to assist the legally disabled handler with something they have problems doing by themselves then it can be called a service dog. There are no specific certifying bodies for service dogs. The trainer decides when the dog is ready to be called fully trained and most agencies usually ensures that the handler meets disability requirements. Agencies that train service dogs commonly provide some kind of documentation that their agency and their trainers deem the dog to be sufficiently trained to be called a service dog.
Disabled people that train their own, as the trainers, bear those same responsibilities.
