Answer 2

By law, under the ADA a dog must be leashed or similarly restrained unless doing a task for a disabled person that requires that the disabled person drop or remove the leash. So a collar or harness of some type and a leash is the equipment a service dog needs.

There may or may not be equipment that the handler needs on the dog as well such as specialty harnesses for guide or mobility work. They may want some kind of identification cape/vest/bandanna on the dog. This is up to the disabled individual to choose or not as they feel the need or desire.

Some states have antiquated laws that a service dog must wear certian equipment. These laws were invalidated by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 but still may apply to service dogs in training depending on what the state law says.
