First thing you should realize is that depending on the price of your puppy/dog, you could very easily spend 5k-10k in training costs, unless you train them yourself.
- First you'll want to set yourself up for expensing, and purchasing a service dog, keep track of everything!
- Next you'll want to choose your breed and cost.
- Once you have your breed selected, you'll want to get from a reputable breeder, we suggest the AKC website, breeding is so important because this is going to impact your dog later in life, you don't want to spend all the time, and expense of training a service dog, only to have to have them retire early due to things like hip dysplasia.
- Get the pup and start training immediately, don't fall for scams. We suggest with Puppy products, CGC Testing, New to Service Dogs, and what to do when you first get your puppy.
