Actually, I believe it says in the Pennsic rules that you must provide 
proper certifaction for your service animal when pre-regging or arriving...
 
Hmmm.  Nope.  Just says "properly trained service animals will be admitted" 
and that Disability Services will check you and your service animal in when 
you arrive at the gate.  The only actual regulation I saw was that owners 
of canine service animals must provide proof of rabies vaccination, and the 
collar tag ISN'T sufficeint unless it includes the expiration date of the 
vaccination.
There'a also a note that for further policies regarding service animals, 
one should contact the Coordinator of Disability Services; perhaps in those 
policies it mentions something about showing proof of training as a service 
animal.
