Basically just get a dog and get him/her basic training and ask your granddaughter's therapist to write a letter consenting/prescribing the animal as an emotional support animal. An emotional support animal is different than a service animal as one is for emotional support; anxiety, PTSD, depression, etc and the latter is for disabilities and must be specially trained.
The dog will have to be specifically trained for that kind of service
