Service dogs are dogs that are individually and specially trained to assist a person with their disability in the USA. Other countries may have different definitions. Service dogs may be trained by special organizations or may be trained by their disabled owners or a private trainer working with their disabled owners. Service dogs may be wearing special equipment, tags, badges or other forms of ID but it is not required by law. A business may ask two questions to find out if a dog is a service dog....are you disabled and what work does the dog do for you.
