I think it depends on how much experience you currently have training and working with dogs. If you don’t really have any, you may want to start by volunteering at the local shelter. They need all sorts of volunteers. The folks I’ve known who’ve done this were all breeders themselves…usually a Labrador – golden or black. They were responsible, good breeders who took care of their dogs. A dog of mine actually came out of a program that trains dogs for therapy and assistance dogs…she (the dog) didn’t pass that school and was sold as a pet. She’s an awesome pet, too! Here’s a link to the organization where we got her. Perhaps you could contact someone there and they would have ideas about where to start.
