Make sure the dog gets the proper training before your pay for it. Most companies selling bedbug dogs will give a one-off training to the dogs before you buy from them. Insist on getting regular checks, especially if you are running a bug detection business.

Get a genetic health guarantee from the seller. Most sellers won’t guarantee you this and you will end up resorting to a veterinarian afterwards.

Be open about your specific needs when you get in touch with a company/dog seller. Tell them what kind of dog you are interested in. Maybe, agility is your preferred trait and you cannot afford to run a business with a dog mediocre at sniffing.

Search for a company that exclusively deals in bedbug dogs. Buying from a company that focuses on other kind of dogs as well may not satisfy you that much as the company ignores a lot of things that are important for pest control and bug detection.
