For those of you who owner-trained- where did you get your dog? I’ve looked through hundreds of breeders and shelters and am struggling to balance my budget with also getting the correct temperament for best chances of success.

      We gambled on a sweet goofball from a nearby shelter. If you really want super close to perfect, going through a program and setting up a fundraiser of sorts is going to be your best bet. I hate that potential service dog handlers are not given more support. It really makes all the difference.

        @Bijoux_bean22 I’m so glad you found your sweet pup! I totally agree, it’s challenging that most of the programs I’ve found only give PTSD service dogs to veterans, not civilians who have experienced trauma. I’ll continue the search!

One person mentioned that they found their dog through the American Kennel Club (AKC) and looked for a breeder who did Embark, AKC, hips eyes elbows heart testing. They decided to train the dog themselves due to the lack of good trainers in their area. Another person mentioned that they knew what kind of dog they wanted and although it was a bit expensive, they felt the dog was perfect for the job.
