We are all dealing with unprecedented challenges with our professional businesses in relation to COVID19. How are dog trainers pivoting to meet their financial needs, the needs of their students, and the dogs we work with? What is the effect on breeders and rescuers and the dogs they have in their care?

Melissa will present on some obvious implications of the pandemic and address some unusual findings in how human behavior and canine behaviors are affected by the new abnormal.
