In this episode, I’m joined by Ginger, Atlas Assistance Dogs team facilitator and founder of Confident Paws Dog Training. We dive into the realities of self-training a service dog—especially during the challenging adolescent phase. Ginger shares her journey with Olaf, a resilient Golden Retriever in training, and opens up about what’s made the biggest difference in staying on track despite health challenges, setbacks, and imposter syndrome. We talk about temperament, choosing the right breeder, what it really takes to train in public, and how to deal with judgment and the pressure to be perfect. Whether you're considering self-training or are deep in the process, this episode offers practical insights and encouragement from someone who's living it every day.📲Connect with GingerWebsite: https://www.confidentpaws.comInstagram: instagram.com/confidentpawstraining📲 Connect with me on social:Instagram: @liveapawsomelifeTikTok: @lisagallegosonlineFacebook: @lisagallegosonlinePinterest: @lisagallegosonlineYouTube: Collab Dog Training
