That’s exactly how it works, what are you talking about? There are government requirements to be met for a dog to be considered a “service dog”. It’s not some made up term and has nothing to do with poverty, disability or anything else…

Here’s the ADA government page. For Canada the only government page I can find is British Columbia which states you can train your own dog and after some paperwork do a test for the trained behaviors and public obedience.
At no point is a credentialed trainer a requirement unless you’re thinking about a different country.
