I don't think guinea pigs can be certified as emotional support animals. Dogs are having a hard time getting recognition.
Guinea pigs work as support animals, not because of training, but just because their natural behavior works to lift people's moods and anxieties.
All a guinea pig has to do is act like a guinea pig to help people feel better.
You are right, it would be better to have two or more guinea pigs. They are so cute in little herds. There are also guinea pig sounds from them talking to each other that are really soothing. They are just naturally cute and cheerful. Sometimes that is enough to help someone keep going during a bad time.
