Choosing the Right Service Dog Puppy

In this episode of the Collab Dog Training Podcast, Lisa Gallegos (@liveapawsomelife) tackles one of the most heartbreaking mistakes she sees: people putting down deposits on puppies from breeders that aren’t suitable for service dog work. Lisa breaks down how to evaluate breeders, what red flags to look out for, and why your puppy’s genetics and early environment matter just as much as training.

Whether you’re new to self-training, considering a therapy dog, or preparing for public access, this episode will help you make confident, informed choices before you bring home your future service dog.
