In today's semi-episode, I want to take a moment to talk about the state of things going on in the pet industry in regard to COVID-19; how it is impacting business, pet owners, and dog sports and clubs.

I do mention my online courses in the "episode". If you want to check them out, you can go to https://elitepettrainingonline.teachable.com.
