Where do I post for help in asking in aid getting a service dog?
My current dog has been coming off like shes a TWO(Total Wash Out), as shes not been able to pick up on alerting to my anxiety symptoms or start of my attacks at all... which makes her more of just one more thing I have to worry about when it happens, rather than an aid for me to help lessen the blow.

But I wanna get a pup from a breeder so they can be fully tested to be sure they are going to be suitable for what I need.
Please tell me which forum I should post a link in for it?
I made a PayPal Pool for it... I just don't wanna post in the wrong zone...

Do you have allergies or breed restrictions? I am in a similar boat- and ended up asking breeders of poodles (due to my own allergies) if their breed lines have been used for service animals, what their temperaments are, and the like. Most reputable poodle breeders (and I'd imagine, other breeders as well), keep in contact with their dogs so they know who washed out, etc. Even the dogs that they breed will sometimes become certified therapy dogs, and have certifications for 'canine good citizen' and the like, which points to their ability to train, and ability to meet new people, etc.
I ended up going through the Carolina Poodle Rescue, and they matched me with a dog who will be able to train for 'deep pressure' therapy.

May I also ask, were you doing owner-driven training, or were you working with a trainer who specializes in P-SD?
