A person must be legally disabled to use a service dog so the first place one would go is to their dr to document that they have a substantial impairment of one or more major life activities and hopefully get some documentation of this.
They would then decide whether they'd like to apply to an agency to provide them a dog or if they can owner train their own.
If one applies to an agency there are varying requirements as to cost of the dog, retention of ownership with some, and waiting lists. They will want to contact or see proof from the doctor that you qualify for a service dog.
If one owner trains they are responsible themselves from beginning to end for all the costs, the quality of training and even if a dog is not working out. While you will not have an agency checking if you meet legal disability requirements, for your protection you'll want to maintain documentation that you are legally disabled and if possible that you will be using a service dog. This is in the case you have to prove in a court of law that you are legally allowed to do what you are doing. You'll also want to keep documentation as much as you can about the effective training of the dog. Also note that states make the rules about where a dog in training may go. If your state does not allow an owner trainer to take a dog into public places you will need to train only where dogs are allowed until the dog can meet the basic federal requirements for a fully trained service dog. Once these requirements are met, the dog can complete it's training in public places.
