I'm sorry that you found this to be an uncomfortable situation. I just spoke with the manager of City Fire because I was curious about the back story. He told me the dogs were service dogs with proper documents. Just a thought ... perhaps these three women met and bonded over their common interest of fostering and training service dogs. Part of the training is experience in crowds and public situations.

As CFrance commented:

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.
