I also know that anyone may buy a service vest for their dog. The dog at our restaurant was well behaved and unobtrusive.
They might have been the dog's trainers. Somebody takes the puppy for a year or so, providing basic training and experience in public, after which if they pass certain tests, they go on to a trainer for further specific training in their service area.
