Yes, you are correct!!!

The individual has an established disability. And can train a dog themselves as a service animal... What I mean as "established" is that the person is on disabilty, or has doctors letters stating they are disabled. Not just anyone can have a service animal.
the animal vests are good to have on a service animal because it tells others that the dog is working, and is allowed in establishments. Many sites require proof that the person is actually disabled before they can certify a service dog.
After the dog is certified the animal is able to go everywhere with it's owner.
