Should I train, hire a trainer, or buy a service dog for anxiety?

Question

Ok, so in my last question, I was very vague. I'm looking for a service dog for my anxiety. I'm moving soon, so I have no ide about the house/apartment/yard. I have a cat, 2 rabbits, 1 snake, 3 leopard geckos and am getting 2 female rats. What do they need to learn? Is self training better? Or having a trainer do it? Or buying one already trained? (fine with links)

It is best to get one that is already trained. They need to learn to watch for certain cues and how to properly respond and a certified service dog or one who is trained for emotional support is your best way to go.
